  • vacuole - contains cell sap, helps maintain cell shape and supports cell structure
  • chloroplasts - contain chlorophyll which is used to capture sunlight during photosynthesis
  • Diffusion - is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of
    low concentration
  • Osmosis - movement of water molecules from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane.
  • Active transport - requires energy (ATP) and moves substances against their concentration gradient
