Laws of Thermodynamics

The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The second law states that in any energy transformation, some energy is lost as unusable heat, increasing entropy (disorder) in the universe.

Cell Theory

The theory that all living things are composed of one or more cells, that the cell is the basic unit of structure and function in all living organisms, and that all cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Passive Transport

The movement of molecules across a cell membrane without requiring energy input. This occurs when molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Active Transport

The process of moving molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input. This is essential for maintaining the cell's internal environment.

Tonicity

The measure of the relative concentration of solutes (dissolved substances) in two solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane. Solutions with higher solute concentration are hypertonic, those with lower solute concentration are hypotonic, and solutions with equal solute concentration are isotonic.

Surface Area to Volume Ratio

The relationship between the surface area of an object and its volume. As an object gets larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area. This has important implications for cell function, as cells need to exchange materials across their surface.
