diffusion | the movement of molecules from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration |
Passive transport | the movement of molecules through a cell membrane without the use of energy |
Active transport | the movement of molecules through a cell membrane requiring the use of energy. The molecules move from an area of lesser concentration to higher concentration |
photosynthesis | a process in producers that makes food by using sunlight |
respiration | the process of unlocking energy in sugar that takes place in the mitochondria of a cell |
fermentation | respiration in a cell that is carried on without oxygen |
osmosis | the diffusion of water through a cell membrane |
cell membrane | controls what substances flow in and out of cells |
producer | it takes in water and carbon dioxide and changes them into sugar and oxygen |
equilibrium | when the concentration of water molecules is the same on each side of the cell membrane. |
