Lipids
|
|
Rough ER is responsible for synthesis of what
|
Ribosomes
|
|
This is the control center of the cell
|
nucleus
|

this is the powerhouse of every cell - it converts some nutrients into usable forms of energy for the cell.
|
mitochondria
|
|
the functions of the golgi apparatus are what?

|
phase of mitosis, where the DNA uncoils and each strand accepts matching nucleotides to form 2 new strands
|
interphase
|
|
phase of mitosis the chromosomes are lined up across the equator or the cell attached to spindle fibers
|
metaphase
|
|
phase of mitosis the centromere splits and the chromosomes duplicates separate and begine to move toward opposite ends of the cell
|
anaphose
|
|
define the difference between diffusion and osmosis
|
Osmosis is a special type of diffusion; osmossis, water moves from one area of higher water concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane
|
|
process that allows a substance/particles to move with the concentration gradient by providing a pathway fro the substance to travel across a membrane that it other wise would not be able to cross
|
facilitated diffusion
|
|
process a substance is pumped (requiring ATP) against the concentration gradient
|
Active transport
|
|
process that involves the plasma membrane wrapping around relatively large particles to draw them into the cell
|
phagocytosis
|
|
process involves the membrane surrounding droplets of fluid to draw them into the cell
