CELL MEMBRANE TRANSPORT | cell functions | cells | PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CELLULAR RESPIRATION |
---|---|---|---|
What is active transport
energy-requiring movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher
|
What is cytoplasm
Houses gel-like fluids that support cell organelles
|
What is a cell
is the basic unit of life
|
What is photosynthesis
a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy
|
What is diffusion
the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
|
What is endoplasmic Reticulum
Carries substances to various parts of the cell
|
What is Eukaryote
A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
|
What is cellular respiration
the process by which energy (ATP) is released from glucose
|
What is phospholipids
a molecule that forms a double-layered cell membrane. consists of a glycerol, a phosphate group, and two fatty acids
|
What is large Vacuole
Stores water, food, waste and more for a plant cell
|
What is rough er
site of protein synthesis
|
What is heterotroph
organisms that obtain food by consuming other living things
|
What is phospholipid bilayer
plasma membrane layers composed of phospholipid molecules arranged with polar heads facing the outside and nonpolar tails facing the inside?
|
What is Lysosome
organelle involved in digestion and waste removal
|
What is chloroplast
site of photosynthesis
|
What is light- dependent reactions
requires the direct involvement of light and light-absorbing pigments
|
What is osmosis
diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
|
What is mitochondria
known as the powerhouses of the cell
|
What is chloroplast, cell wall, vacuoles
structures that are found in plant cells not in animal cells
|
