| What is the total of all chemical reactions in an organism? | Metabolism |
| What process is used by some producers to convert light energy into chemical energy? | Photosynthesis |
| What is the diffusion of water called? | Osmosis |
| What is a combination of substances in which individual substances retain their own properties? | Mixture |
| What type of protein regulates nearly all chemical reactions in cells? | Enzyme |
| What type of Compound is water? | Inorganic Compound |
| What type of compounds always contain carbon and hydrogen? | Organic Compounds |
| What process uses oxygen to break down glucose? | Respiration |
| How do large food particles enter an amoeba? | Endocytosis |
| Anthing that has mass and takes up space is called… | Matter |
| The ability to cause change is called… | Energy |
| What kind of compound is made from elements OTHER than carbon? | Inorganic Compound |
| The process of taking substances into a cell by surrounding it with the cell membrane is called…. | Endocytosis |
| This occurs in the opposite way of endocytosis…The membrane of the vesicle fuses with the cell's membrane, and the vesicle's contents are released (or EXited.) | Exocytosis |
| What is it called when an input of energy is required to move materials through a cell membrane? | Active Transport |
| What is it called when materials through a cell membrane WITHOUT the input of energy? | Passive Transport |
| What is a type of passive transport in cells in which molecules move from areas where there are more of them to areas where there are fewer of them? | Diffusion |
| When molecules of one substance are spread evenly throughout another substance it is called_____________. This is reached when diffusion stops. | Equilibrium |
| When cells do not have enough oxygen for respiration, they use this process to release some of the energy stored in glucose molecules. | Fermentation |
