passive transport
carries information throughout the body
nervous

what protein promotes/increases the rate of a chemical reaction by decreasing the amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction
enzymes
active transport
go from low to high using energy
allows for movement in the body
muscle
Respiration that does NOT use oxygen
anearobic respiration
