Term
|
Definition
| The diffusion of water through a membrane |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Occurs when the particles are equally spread out |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The movement of particles, through a protein doorway, from a more crowded to a less crowded area WITHOUT the use of energy |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The movement of particles, through a protein doorway, from a less crowded to a more crowded area WITH the use of ATP (energy) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The process in which vesicles are formed at the Golgi complex and carry the particles to the cell's membrane for release out if the cell |

Term
|
Definition
| (Occurs in body cells like liver cells and blood cells) A type of cell reproduction in which one parent cell goes through simple cell division to split into two "daughter cells." Each of the new cells is identical to the parent cells and contains 46 chromosomes in humans |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A simple cell division in which one cell splits into two identical cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Has three main stages - interphase, mitosis phase, cytokinesis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| In this stage, the chromosomes and other cell materials (organelles) are copied; the nucleus is visible |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The starting cell is called the parent cell which divides to make two identical daughter cells that have identical chromosomes |
|
|
Term
| Phase 1: Prophase (the first stage of Mitosis) |
|
Definition
| Chromosomes and other cell materials are done being copied. The nucleus is still visible, but the nuclear membrane and nucleolus have both started to dissolve |
|
|
Term
| Phase 2: Metaphase (the second stage of Mitosis) |
|
Definition
| During this, chromosomes line up at the center (equator) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| During this stage of mitosis, the identical chromosomes begin separation and travel to opposite poles or ends of the cell |
|
|
Term
| Phase 4: Telophase (the fourth stage of mitosis) |
|
Definition
| During this phase, two nuclear membranes form around both sets of chromosomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Once mitosis is completed, this occurs; it's the process of splitting the cytoplasm forming two new daughter cells |
