catabolic reaction involving the process of

producing energy by breaking down molecules
(glucose)
Catabolism

protects the cell from its surroundings

Plasma Membrane

the movement of solvent particles from a dilute

solution to a more concentrated solution

Osmosis

proteins that speed up chemical reactions

Enzymes
 anabolic reaction producing larger substances from
smaller ones by using energy

Anabolism

the process of transporting molecules across a

cellular membrane using cellular energy

Active transport

puts together lipids and is important in making new

membranes
Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum

the movement of particles from a higher

concentration region to a lower concentration
region
Diffusion
 the stage of cellular respiration where the simple
sugar glucose is degraded to pyruvate in order to
produce high-energy molecules such as ATP and
NADH
Glycolysis

the process of transporting molecules across a

cellular membrane without the use of cellular
energy
Passive Transport
