Term
Diffusion
Definition
movement from high to low concentration.
Term
Osmosis
Definition
Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
Term
What causes a cell to swell?
Definition
hypotonic solution
Term
what causes a cell to shrink?
Definition
hypertonic solution
Term
Passive Transport
Definition
Uses NO Energy
Term
What is an example of Passive Transport?
Definition
facilitated diffusion
Term
Facilitated Diffusion
Definition
allows substances to cross the cell membrane with the assistance of special carrier proteins that are embedded in the membrane.
Term
Is a protein Channel able to change shape for a molecule trying to come through that cant exactly fit??
Definition
YES
Term
Which type of channel is specific and only allows one type of ION to pass through??
Definition
ION Channel
Term
What does the Channel do to help the cell maintain homeostasis??
Definition
It opens and closes to allow the IONS to move which regulates the ION concentration in the cell.
Term
Active Transport
Definition
Moves materials from low to high concentration. It moves against the concentration gradient.
Term
Does Active Transport use ENERGY??
Definition
YES
Term
When is equilibrium reached??
Definition
When movement is equal in both directions.
Term
What are the 2 types of endocytosis??
Definition
Phagocytosis and Pinocytosis
Term
Phagocytosis
Definition
engulfs solids
Term
Pinocytosis
Definition
engulfs liquids
Term
Exocytosis
Definition
opposite of endocytosis. A vesicle molds itself into the plasma membrane and the particles inside are released to the opposite side.
Term
Synthesis
Definition
to make something
Term
Prophase
Definition
Chromatin turns into chromosomes.
Term
Each wing of the chromosome (butterfly) is a what?
Definition
sister chromatid
Term
What holds the chromosome (butterfly) together in the center?
Definition
Centromeres
Term
When does the nucleus disappear?
Definition
during prophase
Term
Where do the centrioles (little spiders) form?
Definition
at the poles
Term
Where do the spindle fibers (spider webs) form?
Definition
at the centrioles
Term
Interphase
Definition
90% of the cells life. when growth and development happen. DNA copies itself.
Term
When does DNA copy itself?
Definition
at the end of Interphase
Term
Chromatin
Definition
DNA that looks like noodles
Term
Where are centrioles not found?
Definition
PLANT CELLS. they only exist in animal cells.
Term
Chromatid
Definition
wings of a butterfly
Term
chromosome
Definition
colored body
Term
centriole
Definition
little spiders
Term
centromere
Definition
pinches together the butterfly
Term
When does the majority of a cells life happen?
Definition
during prophase
Term
Metaphase
Definition
When the chromosomes come together in the center of the cell.
Term
Anaphase
Definition
When the chromosomes in the center of the cell start to separate.
Term
cyto
Definition
cell
Term
kinesis
Definition
split
Term
When does cytokinesis occur?
Definition
during telophase
Term
cytokinesis
Definition
cytoplasm splits as the cells divides. A cleavage furrow forms in animals. A cell plate forms in plants.
Term
What happens in Telophase?
Definition
Cytoplasm splits and a cleavage furrow forms in an animal cell and a cell plate forms in a Plant Cell.
Term
Telophase
Definition
Chromosomes become longer and thinner, new nuclear membranes begin to form and the nucleolus reappears. Cell division is almost complete.
Term
Daughter cells are....
Definition
Identical to the Mother cell
Term
Every cell has the exact same...
Definition
DNA
Term
Carcinogens
Definition
anything that causes cancer
Term
Cancer
Definition
uncontrolled cell division. Cell dosent get to grow and mature it just keeps dividing itself rapidly.
Term
What goes wrong and potentially causes cancer?
Definition
Mitosis
Term
If there is more Water outside the cell, the water will move....
Definition
inside the cell
Term
what type of transport does not require ebergy?
Definition
Passive
Term
What type of transport requires Energy?
Definition
Active
Term
Which organelle is responsible for the transport of materials in and out of the cell?
Definition
Plasma membrane
Term
Mitosis
Definition
cell division
Term
Before a cell can divide, what must be copied?
Definition
its DNA
Term
Mitosis occurs in which cell organelle?
Definition
mitochondria
