The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane from low to high concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy is called this
What is active transport?
The organelle where photosynthesis takes place is called this
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 (ex: glucose) into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release CO2 and H2O
What is cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
What is the process of splitting Glucose into Pyruvate?

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.
