Diffusion
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Active Transport | The movement of materials across a membrane from LOWER to HIGHER concentration, using ATP |
ATP | Produced in the MITOCHONDRIA, it is a molecule that is the source of an organism's ENERGY |
Cell Membrane | Thin layer of lipids and proteins that surround a cell and controls the passage of materials in and out (AKA PLASMA MEMBRANE) |
Diffusion | Passive movement of materials across a membrane from HIGH concentration to LOW concentration, requiring NO ENERGY |
Glucose | The most common sugar used by living organisms. It is needed for cellular respiration to occur |
Indicator | A chemical that causes an observable change that shows the presence of another substance |
Osmosis | Diffusion of WATER across a membrane from HIGH concentration to LOW concentration, requiring NO energy |
Passive Transport | Movement of substances across a membrane from high to low concentration WITHOUT using ENERGY |
Semi-Permeable | Ability of a membrane to allow SOME but NOT ALL substance to pass through |
Stain | Any chemical that makes the parts of the specimen under the microscope more visible |
Starch | A large carbohydrate composed of simple sugars involved in energy storage in an organism |
