Understanding Cell Processes

Front

Photosynthesis

Back

Process by which plants convert sunlight into energy

Front

Cellular Respiration

Back

Process of breaking down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP

Front

Mitosis

Back

Cell division for growth and repair of organism resulting in two identical daughter cells

Front

Diffusion

Back

Movement of particles from high to low concentration without using energy from the cell

Front

Osmosis

Back

Diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane

Front

Active Transport

Back

Movement of substances against concentration gradient(low to high areas) using energy

Front

Endocytosis

Back

Process of taking materials into the cell through the cell membrane by engulfing them requires energy

Front

Exocytosis

Back

Process of removing materials from the cell through the membrane which requires energy

Front

Homeostasis

Back

Maintenance of stable internal conditions in an organism
