|
DIFFUSION |
The movement of particles from areas of HIGH concentration to areas of LOW concentration. |
|
|
OSMOSIS |
The diffusion of water through cell membranes. |
|
|
PASSIVE TRANSPORT |
The movement of particles across a cell membrane WITHOUT the use of energy. |
|
|
ACTIVE TRANSPORT |
The movement of particles across a cell membrane WITH the use of energy. |
|
|
ENDOCYTOSIS |
The active transport process by which a cell surrounds a large particle, such as a large protein, and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell. |
|
|
EXOCYTOSIS |
When large particles, such as wastes, leave the cell, the cell uses active transport to form a vesicle around the large particle within the cell. Then the vesicle carries the particle to the outside of the cell. |
|
|
PHOTOSYNTHESIS |
The process of plants capturing energy from the sun and changing that to food. |
|
|
CELLULAR RESPIRATION |
The process of cells using oxygen to break down food. |
|
|
FERMENTATION |
The process of cells getting energy without using energy. |
|
|
CELL CYCLE |
the life cycle f a cell |
|
|
chromosome
|
in a eukaryotic cell, one of the structures in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein; in a prokaryotic cell, the main ring of DNA
|
|
|
homologous chromosomes
|
chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure
|
|
|
mitosis
|
in eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes
|
|
|
cytokinesis
|
the division of the cytoplasm of a cell
