O - R Flashcards
Movement of water through a membrane following its own concentration
Osmosis
Addition of oxygen during a chemical reaction
Oxidation e.g. oxidation of glucose during cell respiration
Movement of particles across cell membrane using no cell energy
Passive transport
Process of absorption by “cell eating”
Phagocytosis
Forms the cell membrane. Polar head and two non polar tails
Phospholipid
Process of absorption of liquids by “cell drinking”
Pinocytosis
Covalent molecule with unsymetric sharing of electrons. Creates partial charges
Polar
A very large molecule made of repeated units (monomers)
Polymer
A long chain carbohydrate
Polysaccharides e.g. starch, glycogen, cellulose
Possibly charges particles in atoms
Protons
An atom with a unstable nucleus that decays and produces radiation
Radioisotope
