|
chromatids
|
These condense into an X-shape before mitosis
|
X-shape
|
|
|
Endocytosis
|
How a cell membrane moves large particles into the cell
|
|
|
|
diffusion
|
The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
|
|
|
|
cell cycle
|
This process ends when a cell divides and new cells are formed
|
|
|
|
homologus chromosomes
|
Human body cells have 23 pairs
|
|
|
|
active transport
|
The movement of particles through proteins against the normal direction of diffusion
|
|
|
|
phospholipids
|
Oxygen can slip between these molecules, which make up much of the cell membrane.
|
|
|
|
centromere
|
This is the region where chromatids are held together
|
|
|
|
binary fission
|
Bacteria double this way
|
|
|
|
exocytosis
|
This word means "outside the cell"
|
|
|
|
osmosis
|
Diffusion of water across a membrane
|
|
|
|
cellular respiration
|
The way organisms get energy from food using oxygen
|
|
|
|
mitosis
|
The complicated process of chromosome separation: the second stage of the cell cycle
|
|
|
|
photosynthesis
|
The process by which plants capture light energy and change it into food
|
|
|
|
passive transport
|
The diffusion of particles through special "doorways" in the cell mambrane
|
|
|
|
cytokinesis
|
The cytoplasm splits in two during this process
|
|
|
|
cell plate
|
During the third stage of the cell cycle, this forms in eukaryotic cells with cell walls.
|
|
|
|
fermentation
|
When there's no oxygen for your cells, they use this to get energy
|
|
|
|
proteins
|
Special doorways in the cell membrane are made of these.
|
|
|
|
cell membrane
|
Oxygen can pass directly through this cell part
|
