The ability to cause change is called... | Energy |
What kind of compound is made from elements OTHER than carbon? | Inorganic Compound |
The process of taking substances into a cell by surrounding it with the cell membrane is called.... | Endocytosis |
This occurs in the opposite way of endocytosis...The membrane of the vesicle fuses with the cell's membrane, and the vesicle's contents are released (or EXited.) | Exocytosis |
What is it called when an input of energy is required to move materials through a cell membrane? | Active Transport |
What is it called when materials through a cell membrane WITHOUT the input of energy? | Passive Transport |
What is a type of passive transport in cells in which molecules move from areas where there are more of them to areas where there are fewer of them? | Diffusion |
When molecules of one substance are spread evenly throughout another substance it is called_____________. This is reached when diffusion stops. | Equilibrium |
When cells do not have enough oxygen for respiration, they use this process to release some of the energy stored in glucose molecules. | Fermentation |
