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
Anaerobic
respiration
The release of energy from carbohydrate using oxygen
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.
