The movemnt of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
|
DIFFUSION
|
|
The diffusion of water across a cell membrane
|
OSMOSIS
|
|
The diffusion of particles through proteins in the cell membrane from areas where the concentration of particles is high to areas where the concentration of particles is low.
|
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
|
|
The movement of particles through protiens in the cell membrane against the direction of diffusion; requires cells to use energy.
|
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
|
|
Process in which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses it in a vesicle to bring it into the cell.
|
ENDOCYTOSIS
|
|
The process used to remove large particles from a cell
|
EXOCYTOSIS
|
|
The process by which plants capture light energy from the sun and convert it into sugar.
|
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
|
|
The process of producing ATP from oxygen and glucose; releases carbon dioxide as a waste product.
|
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
|
|
The breakdown of sugars to make ATP in the absence of oxygen
|
FERMENTATION
|
|
The life cycle of a cell; in eukaryotes it consists of chromosome duplication, mitosis and cytokinesis
|
CELL CYCLE
|
|
Coiled structure of DNA and protein that forms in the cell nucleus during cell division
|
CHROMOSOME
|
|
The simple cell division in which one cell splits into two; used by bacteria
|
BINARY FISSION
|
|
Chromosomes with matching information
|
HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES
|
|
Identical copies of a chromosome
|
CHROMATIDS
|
|
The region that holds chromatids together when a chromosome is duplicated
|
CENTOROMERE
|
|
Nuclear division in eukaryotic cells in which each cell receives a copy of the original chromosomes
|
MITOSIS
|
|
The process in which cytoplasm divides after mitosis.
|
CYTOKINESIS
|
