Homeostasis
The body in balance or without disruption
passive transport
movement across a cell membrane without energy
Diffusion
Higher to lower concentration movement
Osmosis
diffusion of water
cell membrane
the structure around eukaryotic cells that allows things to move in and out of the cell
Pores
tiny areas where things can move in and out
selectivly permeable
only cetain substances can enter
phospholipid bilayer
A double layer of phospholipids that makes up organelle membranes.
transport proteins
proteins that transport substances in and out of the membrane
concentration gradient
the differences of a substances concentration from a distance
osmotic pressure
pressure aplied to stop osmosis
Equilibrium
the point at which everything is in balance
active transport
the movement through a cell membrane using energy
Photosynthesis
the making of energy using the suns energy
cellular respiration
the process of making atp in animal cells with the mitochondria
Chloroplast
the organelle used in the process of photosynthesis
Mitochondria
the power house of the cell(makes energy for eukaryotic cells)
Nucleus
the protective layer of eukaryotic cells that surrounds dna
Golgi body
packages proteins in the cell
Vesicle
transports proteins around the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
gateways of the cell that transports things from different parts of the cell
Lysosomes
the oganelle that breaks down waste
cytoplasm
the fluid that fills up the empty areas of a cell
