Is a series of chemical reactions that release energy by breaking down large food molecules. It happens in EVERY living cell. Aerobic respiration- with oxygen. Anaerobic- without oxygen.

Photosynthesis
Is a series of chemical reactions that uses energy from sunlight to produce food.

Diffusion
Is the passive overall movement of particles from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration.
3 of 8
Osmosis
(specific case of diffusion) Is the overall movement of water from a dilute to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane.
4 of 8
Active transport
Is the overall movement of chemicals across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration using energy released by respiration.
