Photosynthesis and RespirationMovement In/Out of Cell

Mitosis and Meiosis

There are several processes that happen in cells

• Getting energy – Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration

• Getting supplies/Dumping waste– Diffusion/ Facilitated Diffusion– Osmosis– Active transport

• Reproducing– Mitosis/Meiosis

Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration

• Photosynthesis– Only by plants (using organelle – chloroplast)– Uses Carbon Dioxide, Water and Sun– Makes Oxygen, and Glucose (sugar, food)

• Cellular Respiration– In all living things (using organelle – mitochondria)– Uses Oxygen and food (glucose)– Makes Carbon Dioxide, Water and ATP (ENERGY)

• Whenver you see ATP think of ENERGY

Moving things In/Out of the cell

• Passive transport - Does not use energy– Diffusion – spreading from high to low

concentraion– Facilitated Difusion – same but helped by proteins– Osmosis – same as diffusion but with water

• Active transport – Uses Energy– Must use energy to pump things from low to high

concentration

Making New Cells

• Mitosis– Makes 2 new genetically identical cells (same DNA)– Used to grow and replace dead/damaged cells– In 1 celled organisms used to reproduce (asexual)

• Meiosis– Make 4 gametes (sperm/egg cells) with ½ DNA– Used for sexual reproduction
