The basic unit of life.
What is a cell?
Movement of particles from high to low concentration.
What is diffusion?
The process plants use to make food.
What is photosynthesis?
The stage of the cell cycle when the cell grows.
What is interphase?
The system that helps you breathe.
What is the respiratory system?
The part of the cell that controls activities.
What is the nucleus?

Transport that does not require energy.
What is passive transport?
The sugar made during photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
The stage when chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
The system that controls the body using signals.

The division of the cytoplasm.
What is cytokinesis?
The hormone linked to happiness and mood.
What is serotonin?
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
Diffusion using protein channels in the membrane.
