|
Cellular Respiration
|
is the process of producing ATP in the cell from oxygen and glucose: releases carbon dioxide and water.
|
|
|
What is Telophase?
|
cytoplasm separates (cytokenesis)
new nuclear membrane appears |
|
|
What is Osmosis?
|
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a cell membrane.
|
|
|
What is Metaphase?
|
Chromosomes line up
|
|
|
What is Passive Transport?
|
Passive Transport is the diffusion of particles through proteins in the cell membrane from areas where the concentration of particles is high to an area where it is low.
|
|
|
What is Anaphase?
|
Cromosomes split apart
|
|
|
What is diffusion?
|
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area.
|
|
|
What is endocytosis?
|
Endocytosis is the process in which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses it in a vesicle to bring it into the cell.
|
|
|
What is an active transport?
|
An active transport is the movement of particles through proteins in the cell membrane against the direction of diffusion which requires cells to use energy.
|
|
|
Mitosis
|
is a nuclear division in eukaryotic cells in which each cell receives a copy of the original chromosome.
|
|
|
Photosynthesis
|
is the process by which plant capture light energy form the sun and convert it into sugar.
|
|
|
What is exocytosis?
|
Exocytosis is the process used to remove large particles from a cell during exocytosis. A vesicle containing the particle fuses with the cell membrane.
|
|
|
Chromosome
|
is a coiled structure of DNA and protein that forms in the cells nucleus during cell divison.
|
|
|
Fermentation
|
is the breakdown of sugars to make ATP in the absence of oxygen.
|
|
|
What is a centromere?
|
A centromere is the region that holds chromatids together when a chromosome is duplicated.
|
|
|
Chromatids
|
are identical chromosome copies.
|
|
|
What is Phrophase?
|
chromosomes double/cluster
nuclear membrane disappears |
|
|
Cytokinesis
|
is the process in which cytoplasm divides after mitosis.
|
|
|
What is binary fission?
|
Binary fission is the simple cell division in which one cell splits into two: used by bacteria.
