biology
the study of life
cilia

flagella
long whip like tail that moves an organelle
microvilli
protrusions that increase the surface area of a cell
cytosol
aqueous component of the cytoplasm that contains the organelles
ribosomes
RNA, proteins involved in peptide synthesis
vacuole
enclosed compartments that contain enzymes and other molecules
lysosomes
spherical vesicles that contain enzymes and break down biomolecules
Chromatin
Protein, RNA, DNA
diffusion
movement of a substance from high to low concentration gradient
facilitated diffusion
spontaneous passive transport via specific transmembrane essential particles
osmosis
movement of water from high to low CG without the use of energy
tonicity
osmotic pressure of a fluid
ACTIve transport
substances move from low to high CG and requires ATP.
