movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration
diffusion
diffusion of water to a selectively permeable membrane
osmosis
thin covering forming outer boundary of the cell
cell membrane
movement of substances through a membrane not requiring cell's energy
passive transport
2 examples of passive transport
diffusion, osmosis
moving substances through a membrane that DOES require cell's ENERGY
active transport
List 2 parts that make up the cell membrane
lipids and proteins
Organelle that processes chemicals in the cytoplasm
Golgi apparatus
Organelles that contain enzymes, act as the "demolition crew" destroying cell structures that are no longer needed or foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses.
lysosomes
Organelle that assembles/manufactures proteins
ribosomes
Organelle that contains the DNA
Nucleus
Organelle that serves as passageways throughout the cytoplasm
Endoplasmic reticulum
Processes energy from food - organelle known as the powerhouse of the cell
