Cellular Transport -
The movement of materials into, out of, or within of a cell
Vacuole -
The organelle that is used to store materials.
Passive Transport -
Type of cell transport that does not require energy.
(e.g. Diffusion and Osmosis)
Diffusion –
The movement of particles move from an area of higher concentration to
an area of lower concentration through a selectively permeable membrane.
Osmosis –
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
Active Transport -
Type of cell transport that does require energy. (e.g. endocytosis,
exocytosis)
- Cellular Respiration –
The process that releases energy by breaking down glucose
in the presence of oxygen.
- Photosynthesis –
The process by which plants and some organisms use light energy
to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
- Protein Synthesis –
The process of making proteins.
- Cell Division –
The process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells.
