Cell Processes

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

• Photosynthesis
• Cellular Respiration
• Osmosis
• Diffusion

Process where food is broken down to release chemical energy. Occurs in the mitochondria.

• Photosynthesis
• Active Transport
• Passive Transport

Small particles such as oxygen and carbon dioxide move easily across the cell membrane from areas of high concentration to low concentration. 

• Active Transport
• Osmosis
• Diffusion

Water moving from areas of high concentration to low concentration.

• Photosynthesis
• Osmosis
• Cellular Respiration

Process by which the cell membrane removes material that is too large to pass through the membrane.

• Endocytosis
• Exocytosis
• Transport
• Respiration

Process in which substances or particles move through the cell membrane, protein channel, or protein doorway from high concentration to low concentration without the use of energy 

• Diffusion
• Active Transport
• Osmosis
• Passive Transport

Process by which the cell membrane envelops (engulfs) material that is too large to pass through the membrane 

• Endocytosis
• Diffusion
• Exocytosis
• Cellular Respiration

Process in which particles move from less crowded (low concentration) to more crowded (high concentration) using energy

• Passive Transport
• Cellular Respiration
• Active Transport
• Osmosis

• Endocytosis
• Active Transport
• Mitochondria
• Exocytosis
