what is osmosis?
diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
what is diffusion?
movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentrations
an unequal distribution of particles, called ......
concentration gradient
concentration gradient is a factor that controls....
osmosis
what is a concentration of dissolved substances outside the cell is the same as concentrations dissolved inside the cell.
isotonic solution
in isotonic solution cell shape is...
not changed
when the concentration of dissolved substances outside the cell is greater than the concentration inside the cell
hypertonic solution
in what solution do cells loose water and shrivel up?
hypertonic solution
in what solution do cells swell as water comes into through osmosis
hypotonic solution
when concentration of dissolved substances is lower in the solution outside the cell the concentration inside the cell.
hypotonic solution
passive transport is....
the movement across the cell membrane without the use of energy.
transport proteins that form channels to allow specific protein to pass thorugh the cell membrane
channel protein
transport protein that that change shape to allow substances to pass through the membrane
carrier protein
movement of material through the membrane against the concentration gradient and REQUIRES ENERGY.
active transport
endocytosis
the process by which a cell surrounds and takes in a material from its environment. requires energy.
exocytosis
the expulsion of secretion from a cell. used to secrete wastes and other substances.
what factors limit cell size?
DNA
surface-area- to volume ratio
& diffusion
cell division results in..
results in two cells that are identical to the parent cell
chromosomes are not the carriers of..

how many pair of chromosomes do humans have?
23
what is chromatin?
chromatin is DNA that is not would up while the cell is diving.
what are histones?
is when DNA wraps around the proteins to form the "x" shaped is of chromatin in cell division.
what are the 3 main stages of the cell cycle?
-interphase
-mitosis
-cytokinesis
list the 3 phases of interphase and what is it.
interphase id the busiest part of the cell cycle.
1-cells grows faster and protein is is high
2-cell copies its chromosomes
3- organelles are manufactured and cells parts needed for division are assembled.
phases of mitosis?
cells undergo mitosis when they get to big to survive
1- prophase
2-metaphase
3-anaphase
4- telophase
stringy chromatin coil up to visible sister chromatin and get ready to divide in which stage of mitosis?
prophase
double chromosomes attach to spindle fibers and are then pulled to the center of the cell in which phase of mitosis?
metaphase
sister chromatins are pulled apart during which phase of mitosis?
anapahse
is the final phase of mitosis in this












____stage new double membrane begins to form between the new nuclei
telophase
organ system?

genes
what are genes?
genes are segments of DNA that control the production of proteins
enzymes are
proteins
