Meiosis is the process of
cell division where one diploid cell becomes 4 haploid cells
Cell Wall
protects the cell.
Cell Membrane
allows things to enter or leave the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
stores and distributes lipids and proteins made in the E.R.
Chloroplast
where the chlorophyll is.
Vacuole Membrame
where water, nutrients and other things are stored.
Mitochondroin
reduce energy by doing respiration.
Amyloplast
d
Rough ER
makes proteins and is covered in ribosomes, which make it look rough.
Smooth ER
packages proteins for transport and and gives out calcium.
Nucleus
where the DNA of the cell is found, and controls all cell activity.
Robosome
protien builders for the cell.
Golgi Vesicles
move the proteins and lipids to other places.
Cytoplasm
supports all parts of the cell and gives oxygen and nutrients to other parts of the cell.
Pinocytotic vesicle
to move fluid from outside the cell to inside.
centrioles
an organizing center for microtubules.
nucleolus
It is the part of the cell that allows for the copying of DNA molecules.
Vacuole-
A membrane-bound sac that stores materials until they are needed. The vacuole in animal cells is much smaller than the vacuole in plant cells.
Lysosome
spherical vesicles formed by Golgi apparatus
contain hydrolytic/digestive enzymes
enzymes for breaking down ingested food, damaged organelles, or entire cells
MITOSIS- Prophase
Prophase: The chromatin, diffuse in interphase, condenses into chromosomes. Each chromosome has duplicated and now consists of two sister chromatids. At the end of prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down into vesicles.
MITOSIS- Metaphase
The chromosomes align at the equitorial plate and are held in place by microtubules attached to the mitotic spindle and to part of the centromere.
MITOSIS-Anaphase
The centromeres divide. Sister chromatids separate and move toward the corresponding poles.
MITOSIS- Telophase
Daughter chromosomes arrive at the poles and the microtubules disappear. The condensed chromatin expands and the nuclear envelope reappears. The cytoplasm divides, the cell membrane pinches inward ultimately producing two daughter cells (phase: Cytokinesis).
Genome
an organisms genetic material
Chromosomes
a thread like gene carrying structure fround in the nucleaus
Chromatin
the complex of DNA and proteins that make up a eukaryotic Chromosome
Somatic Cell
all body cells except the reproductive cells
Gametes
Sperm and egg cells
2 conclusions Charles Darwin came to in his book
contemporary species arouse from ancestors
natural selecton- the natural envoronment selects for the propagation of certain traits.
Difference between Eukaryotics and Prokaryotes
Euks- have membrane enclosed nucleus and membrane enclosed organelles.
Scientific Method
Observation, Question, Hypothesize, Prediction, Test
Properties of water that contribute to the sustainability of earth
-Cohesion
-Moderation of Temp
-Expansion upon Freezing
-Versatility as a solvent
3 main components of a membrane
proteins, lipids and cholesterols
6 main functions of a membrane
Transport, Enzymatic activity, signal transduction, cell-cell recognition, intercellular joining, attachment to cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix
Tonicity of a cell
Hypotonic, Hypertonic, Isotonic
Active and Passive transport
Active- energy is used to traffic molecule across membrane
Passive-cell does not have to expend energy
Osmosis
diffusion of water across a membrane
ATP
Powers cells for mechanical work, transport and chemical work+
What is an enzyme
a catalytic protein
3 steps of cellular respiration
1) glycolysis, 2) Krebs Cycle, and 3) the Electron Transport Chain (ETC).
glycolysis
the breaking down of glucose molecules from carbohydrates into molecules of pyruvate
3 reasons cells divide
Reproduction, growth and developemnt, tissue renewal
Dividing of cells
Mitosis- nucleus
Cystokinesis-cytoplasm
Meosis-sexually reproducing organisms
Somatic Cells
are cells that form the body (or body cells). The contain diploid (2n) number of chromosomes. They divide by mitosis
Gametes
germ cells or sex cells. They contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes. They do not divide by themselves. They are produced from the primary gametocyte which undergoes a two-stage division process called meiosis

Microtubules
function both to determine cell shape and in a variety of cell movements, including some forms of cell locomotion, the intracellular transport of organelles, and the separation of chromosomes during mitosis.
