It is the process of changing foodstuffs into simple absorbable form.
Digestion
It is the process of changing food into simple absorbable substances
Digestion
It is the breakdown of carbohydrates
Amylase
It is the breakdown of proteins
Protease
It is the breakdown of fats
Lipase
It is secreted as
zymogens
or
inactive
enzymes
Proteases
It is most important in infancy, found in mother's milk
Gastric lipase
It is a type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of
RNA
into smaller components
Ribonuclease
It is from the pancreas (Nucleases)
Deoxyribonuclease
It pumps molecules through the cell membrane against the concentration gradient
Active transport
It allows molecules to pass the cell membrane through a concentration gradient
Passive transport
It utilizes cellular energy in the form of
ATP
Active transport
It does not require cellular energy
Passive transport
Its types are endocytosis, exocytosis,
secretion
of substances into
bloodstream
, and sodium/potassium pump
Active transport
Its types are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
Passive transport
It is the movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration
Diffusion
It is the movement of solvent across a semipermeable membrane from high to low solvent concentration
Osmosis
It exist in a state which stays open all the time
Channel protein
It typically has a binding sire which will only bind to the substance they're supposed to carry
Carrier protein
It is a form of a
passive
movement of molecules along their concentration gradient
Facilitated diffusion
It is when molecules are too large to move through a channel protein of by using a carrier protein
Bulk transport
It is the movement of substances into the cell
Endocytosis
It is the movement of materials of the cell
Exocytosis
It is the taking in of matter into a living cell by the forming of a vesicle by the cell membrane
Endocytosis
It is the taking in of large solid matter into the cells forming phagosomes
Phagocytosis
During _ both macromolecules and particles are taken into the cell
Endocytosis
During _ only particles are taken into the cell
Phagocytosis
