- Endocytosis
- A process by which cells transport a large body through the cell membrane into the cytoplasm.
- Equilibrium
- Condition in which molecules of a substance are spread evenly throughout a space.
- Active Transport
- Protein binds to a particleand uses energy to move through the cell membrane.
- Producers
- Organisms that make their own food.
- Enzymes
- Speed up chemical reactions.
- Exocytosis
- A process by which wastes are packaged by Golgi bodies and them expelled from the cell.
- Passive Transport
- Movement of molecules without the use of energy.
- Diffusion
- Molecule movment from an area of more molecules to an area of less molecules.
- Osmosis
- Passive trasport of water by diffusion.
- Biogas
- Mixture of gases that can be stored and transported like natural gas.
- Metabolism
- All of the activities that occur within the cells of an organism.
