Term | Definition |
Homeostasis | The maintenance of a constant internal state in a changing environment |
Photosynthesis | The process by which plants, algae and some bacteria use sunlight to change carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. |
Cellular Respiration | The process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food. |
ATP | Chemical energy created by cellular respiration in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. |
Mitosis | The process by which once cell copies its DNA and divides it evenly to create two new cells that are identical copies of one another. |
Cell division | Occurs for the purposes of growth, repair, replacement or reproduction. |
Semi-permeable membrane | A membrane that allows only certain particles to pass through it. |
Passive Transport | The movement of particles across a cell membrane without the use of energy. |
Diffusion | The movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentrations without the use of energy. |
Osmosis | The diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane |
Active Transport | The movement of particles across a cell membrane from areas of low concentration to areas of higher concentration requiring energy. |
Endocytosis | The process by which cells use energy to surround and enclose a particle in its cell membrane, forming a vesicle or vacuole to bring the particle into its cytoplasm. |
Exocytosis | The process by which energy is used to move a vesicle or vacuole containing cellular products or wastes to be released from the cell. |
vesicle | another term for vacuole |
DNA | Genetic material - instructions for controlling the cell and creating cellular products |
Cell Membrane | Where the exchange of cellular materials and wastes into and out of the cell takes place. |
Oxygen and glucose(sugar) | Products of Photosynthesis |
Carbon Dioxide, water and ATP(energy) | Products of Cellular Respiration |
Glucose | Sugar - the storage molecule of food from photosynthesis |
