Cell Processes and Functions

Front

Osmosis

Back

Movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from low to high solute concentration

Front

Diffusion

Back

Movement of particles from high to low concentration

Front

Endocytosis

Back

Process of taking materials into the cell by engulfing them

Front

Exocytosis

Back

Process of expelling materials from the cell

Front

Photosynthesis Equation

Back

6CO_2 + 6H_2O + light energy → C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2

Front

Cellular Respiration Equation

Back

C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 → 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + energy

Front

Homeostasis

Back

Maintaining a stable internal environment

Front

Active Transport

Back

Movement of substances against concentration gradient, requires energy

Front

Passive Transport

Back

Movement of substances along concentration gradient, no energy required

Front

Mitosis

Back

Process of cell division resulting in two identical daughter cells
