what is glucose?
The build-up of this acid in muscles during exercise.
What is lactic acid
The function of the mitochonria in a cell
What is the production of ATP energy or the powerhouse
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
What is photosynthesis
cell eating
what is phagocytosis?
ATP
what is Adenosine Triphosphate.
Doesn't requires oxygen
What is anaerobic
The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.
What is active transport?
An organell where photosynthesis takes place.
What is a chloroplast
A set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate, and then release waste products.
What is cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
What is the process of splitting Glucose into Pyruvate?
A process by which cells release energy without using oxygen. Pyruvic acid is changed into an acid, or alcohol, and carbon dioxide.
What is fermentation
Found in all cells and is a jelly like substance?
cytoplasm
A process in which a cell completely surrounds a substance to move materials into the cell.
What is endocytosis?
two types of cell transport
What are passive and active transport.
A green pigment present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll
A process that requires oxygen
What is Aerobic respiration
An organism that obtains energy from sunlight or inorganic compounds.
What is an autotroph or producer
A process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.
What is exocytosis?
the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth.
what is a nucleus?
This process is used by the yeast in bread to produce energy and also results in the formation of acids and alcohols
fermentation
a movement of ions and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input.
What is passive transport
Another name for plasma membrane and what is the function?
What is a cell membrane and it regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cytoplasm.
the ingestion of liquid into a cell by the budding of small vesicles from the cell membrane.
what is pinocytosis?
a small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase.
what is the nucleolus
