Diffusion

A process whereby gas, liquid, or solid molecules distribute themselves evenly through a membrane

higher concentration ---> lower concentration

Osmosis

Process of diffusion of water of another solvent through a selective permeable membrane, one through which some solutes can pass but others cannot

Filtration

The movement of solutes and water across a semipermeable membrane as a result of force such as gravity or blood pressure


Active transport

low concentration ---> high concentration

Pinocytosis

Stages of mitosis

Prophase: chromosomes condense. Spindle fibers form between centrioles, which move toward opposite poles
Metaphase: microtuble spindle apparatus attaches to chromosomes. Chromosomes align along spindle equator.


Anaphase: sister chomatids separate and move to opposite poles


Telophase: chomatids arrive at each pole, a new nuclear membrane forms. Cell division begins.

Syndrome

group of features

Klinefelter's syndrome

chromosome abnormality; penis and testicles fail to mature fully. Caused by one or more extra X chromosome.

Talipes

Clubfoot

Turner's syndrome

Affects newborn females; short stature, webbing of the neck, a low hairline, a wide chest with broadly spaced nipples, poor breast development, and underdevelopment of the genitalia
