|
Cellular respiration/photothesis |
the process by which living things convert oxygen and glucose to carbon dioxide and water, thereby yielding energy. ... Whilephotosynthesis requires energy and produces food, cellular respiration breaks down food and releases energy. |
|
|
Enzymes |
Functions as catalysts have active site transport substrates usually made of protein |
|
|
Osmosis |
a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. |
|
|
Active transport/passive transport |
Passive Substances move from hugher toower concentration no energy required Bulk Movement independent of gradients additional energy required Active Substances move from lower to higher concentration additional energy required |
|
|
