Plant Cell Processes

Movement of a substance from an area of hight concentration to an area of low concentration.

Diffusion of water or other solvent through a cell membrane

Water concentration inside the cell is the same outside of the cell.

Powerhouse...breaks down food for energy.

Larger molecules require energy to pass through a membrane.

The movement of a chemical substance across a cell membrane without energy by the cell, as in diffusion.

Water concentration inside the cell is MORE than water concentration outside the cell. Cell will burst, (lyse)

Water concentration inside the cell is less than concentration outside the cell.

When materials enter the cell.

More large molecules out of cell (waste)

Cell eating (takes in food)

Cell drinks

Allows some materials to pass but not others.

Means to make with light. photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts (leaves) Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll. chlorophyll traps sun light energy and combines CO2 w/ H20 to make 602+C6H12O6

Occurs in mitochondria mitochondria uses O2to break down C6H12O6 to make energy. CO2 and H2O as a waste product.
