Cards

Term
diffusion
Definition
molecules move from HIGH concentration to low concentration
Term
osmosis
Definition
movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane
Term
exocytosis
Definition
moving items from INSIDE the cell to the outside
Term
endocytosis
Definition
moving items from the OUTSIDE to the inside of the cell
Term
cellular respiration
Definition
releases stored energy by using oxygen.
Term
photosynthesis
Definition
process plants use to make glucose (food)
Term
fermentation
Definition
releases stored energy without using oxygen. (sugar changes to carbon dioxide and alcohol)
Term
cytokinesis
Definition
division of just the cytoplasm
Term
mitosis
Definition
process in eukaryotic cells in which nuclear material splits to form two nuclei
Term
active transport
Definition
requires the cell to use energy to move substances from region of low concentration to region of high concentration.
Term
passive transport
Definition
NO energy needed to move substances
Term
what is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?
Definition
two identical cells
Term
ATP
Definition
where energy is stored
Term
cell plate
Definition
what a plant cell forms during the cell cycle.
Term
Explain how exocytosis and endocytosis are both examples of active transport.
Definition
The cell has to change shape, wrap around the particle, and make other movements that use ENERGY.
Term
Name the cell structures needed for PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Definition
Chloroplasts
Term
Name the cell structures needed for cellular respiration
Definition
mitochondria
Term
Describe the 3 stages of the cell cycle of a eukaryotic cell.
Definition
1- cell growth and copying DNA (duplication)
2- separating duplicated chromosomes (mitosis)
3 - cytokinesis results in 2 separate but identical cells
Term
Describe how you can tell a plant has been watered with salt water.
Definition
The leaves will look wilted. Osmosis makes the water in the leaves (with a high concentration) move down into the salty soil (with a lower concentration).
Term
Describe how you can tell a plant has been watered with pure water.
Definition
The leaves will be strong. Through osmosis, the water in the soil (with a high concentration)moves into the leaves (where the concentration is low.)
Term
Explain why muscle cells need more food when there is a lack of oxygen than when there is enough oxygen?
Definition
Without oxygen, cells must use FERMENTATION which creates less energy than cellular respiration does with oxygen,so more food would be needed to create enough energy from fermentation.
Term
How can you tell the difference between a eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell?
Definition
Eukaryotic cells have chromatids held together at a centromere.
Term
How do you determine the number of pairs of homologous chromosomes?
Definition
Match the sizes.
Term
How do you count chromatids?
Definition
Count the "X" and multiply by 2
