assembles amino acids into proteins
what the rough ER do?
contains ribosomes
what do peroxisomes do?
breaks down fatty acids
what is passive process/transport?
moves down its concentration, moves material from higher to lower concentrations
what is active process/transport?
cellular energy is used to move the substance against its concentration gradient, move material from lower to higher concentration

what is isotonic?
water and solute are at the same concentration (equilibrium)
