Movement of Substances
What is the process of the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration, without the use of ATP?
Diffusion
What simple molecule is required for cellular respiration?
Oxygen
The movement of water across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration
Osmosis
These special proteins help make chemical reactions happen faster
Enzymes
What is the hydrophobic component of a phospholipid?
Fatty acid tail
This simple sugar is the main source of energy for cells
Glucose
This process is used to convert carbon dioxide, water and light energy into glucose
Photosynthesis
Enzymes work best under the right ______
Temperature/pH
What is the process in which a molecule requires ATP to move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration?
Active Transport
These organic molecules are made up of amino acids that are essential for growth, repair and cell functions
Proteins
A process that allows a cell to "drink" fluids by engulfing them in a small bubble
Pinocytosis
This type of enzyme speeds up the breakdown of food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by cells
Digestive enzymes
What affects the permeability of a molecule (must guess all of them)?
Shape, size and charge
This molecule is produced during cellular respiration
ATP
The process of the movement of small molecules into or out of the cell using proteins
Facilitated diffusion
This type of molecule binds to an enzyme's active site and is changed during a chemical reaction
Substrate
What is the process in which a large particle is engulfed by the cell membrane
Phagocytosis - Endocytosis
Glucose, amino acids and nucleotides are examples of what nutrients for cells?
Organic nutrients
A process of the production of two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell
Mitosis
This type of enzyme breaks down starch into simple sugars in saliva
Amylase
