Definitions:

Glucose Metabolism

Biochemical processes responsible for the generation of energy and metabolic precursors from glucose.

Active Transport

Transport of a substance across a membrane that does not rely on the potential energy of a concentration gradient for the substance being transported and therefore requires an additional energy source (often ATP); includes carrier-mediated active transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis. Compare with diffusion and facilitated diffusion.

Pinocytosis

A cellular process by which cells engulf liquid particles through the formation of small vesicles.

Plasmodesmata

Cytoplasmic channels connecting adjacent plant cells and allowing for the movement of molecules and ions between cells.
