| Simple Diffusion | The passage of a substance through the biological membrane from an area of high concentration, to an area of lower concentration. |
| Active Transport | The process of moving particles against its concentration variant. |
| Primary Active Transport | Uses energy, ATP, to move across the cell membrane. |

| Proteosomes | The main function of the proteasome is to degrade unneeded or damaged proteins by proteolysis, a chemical reaction that breaks peptide bonds. Enzymes that carry out such reactions are called proteases. |
| Nuclear Envelope | Double lipid bilayer that encloses the genetic material in eukaryotic cells. The nuclear envelope also serves as the physical barrier, separating the contents of the nucleus (DNA in particular) from the cytosol (cytoplasm). |
| Nuclear Pores | Large protein complexes that cross the nuclear envelope. |
| Nucleoli | Non-membrane bound structure composed of proteins and nucleic acids found within the nucleus. Ribosomal RNA is transcribed and assembled within the nucleolus. |
| Chromosomes | Organized structure of DNA and protein that is found in cells. |
| Cell Junctions | Connection between two cells |
| Gap Junctions | Specialized intercellular connection two cells. It directly connects the cytoplasm of two cells, which allows various molecules and ions to pass freely between cells. |
| Tight Junctions | Closely associated areas of two cells whose membranes join together forming a virtually impermeable barrier to fluid. It is a type of junctional complex present only in vertebrates. |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | 1. Energy is never created or destroyed, only changes form. 2. Entropy says that energy disburses spontaneously. |
| Exergonic | More energy released then absorbed during a chemical reaction. |
| Endergonic | More energy absorbed then released during chemical reaction. |
| Catalyst | Speeds up chemical reaction by lowering activation energy. |

| Mitochondria | Membrane-enclosed organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. |
