What is diffusion?

The movement of molecules form an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they reach a state of equilibrium.

What is metabolism?

The total of all chemical activities of an organism that enables it to stay alive, grow, and reproduce.

What is endocytosis?

When substances that are too large to pass through the cell membrane into the cell becomes enclosed by part of the cell membrane and a vesicle forms.

What is exocytosis?

When substances that are too large to pass through the cell membrane out of the cell becomes enclosed by part of the cell membrane and a vesicle forms.

What does fermentation produce?

lactic acid, alcohol, and small amounts of energy.

Passive transport requires what?

no energy
