2.2 Cell Metabolism
Definitions
|Term |Definition |
|Metabolism |All the chemical reactions that occurs in organisms |
|Enzyme |Biological catalyst |
|Immobilised Enzyme | A biological catalyst which is fixed to an inert material by chemical or physical means.|
|Bioreactor |Vessel in which products are made by cells (or organisms) (or enzymes) |
|Photosynthesis |Process where plants make carbohydrate using (sun)light energy (CO2, water and |
| |chlorophyll). |
|Aerobic respiration |The release of energy from carbohydrate using oxygen |
|Anaerobic respiration |The release of energy from carbohydrate without using oxygen. |
|Fermentation |Anaerobic respiration |
|Diffusion |The movement of [gas or liquid] molecules from a region of higher concentration to a |
| |region of lower concentration |
|Osmosis |The movement of water molecules from a region of high water concentration to a region of|
| |low water concentration across a S.P.M selectively permeable membrane or |
| |The movement of water molecules along a concentration gradient across a SPM. or |
| |Movement of water molecules from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution |
| |across a selectively permeable membrane |
|Turgor |The state of fullness in a plant cell due to the intake of water. |
