Moving Cellular Material + Cells and Energy

Passive transport is the movement of substances through the cell membrane only by using the cell’s energy.

Diffusion of water molecules only through a membrane is called?

Diffusion continues until the concentration of a substance is the same on both sides of the membrane. The substance is then in ______________.

What is called when a process during which a cell takes in a substance by surrounding it with the cell membrane using cell energy? Hint: Choose the BEST answer.

Process during which a cell’s vesicles release their contents outside the cell.

Small molecules, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, pass through membranes via active transport.

Which organisms carry out all life processes, including responding to the environment, getting rid of waste, growing, and reproducing, within one cell?

Semipermeable cell membranes do not allow water to pass through.

Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Active transport is the movement of a substance through a cell membrane only by using the cell’s energy.

Photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water, and CO2 into the food-energy molecule glucose and give off oxygen.

The chemical reactions of photosynthesis are powered by wind energy.

In the chloroplasts of plants, pigments such as chlorophyll absorb light energy

Chlorophyll absorbs all colors except green light, which is reflected as the green color in leaves.
