Cell Processes

The movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell

• passive transport

• active transport

• osmosis

• cellular respiration

Plant cells take in light energy and change it into chemical energy in the form of glucose (food).

• Photosynthesis
• Cellular Respiration
• Osmosis
• Diffusion

• photosynthesis

• diffusion

• osmosis

• equilibrium

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

The movement of particles across a semi-permeable membrane that move from a place of high concentration to a place of low concentration.

• homeostasis

• diffusion

• equilibrium

• respiration

When where the internal (inside) and external (outside) are balanced

• equilibrium

• osmosis

• diffusion

• respiration

The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane

• photosynthesis

• respiration

• osmosis

• equilibrium

Only allows certain materials to pass through the cell membrane 

• semi-permeable

• photosynthesis

• osmosis

• respiration
