Organelles
Responsible for ATP production in the cell.
What is mitochondria?
Movement of solutes from a high to low concentration. Does NOT require any type of "helpers."
What is simple diffusion?
What is a complementary double helix?
The stage in which the chromatin of the cell condenses into chromosomes, the mitotic spindles form, and the nuclear envelope disappears.
What is prophase?
The name of the area where sister chromatids are joined.
What is the centromere?
Responsible for breakdown of cellular components.
What are lysosomes?
The movement of water from high to low when a barrier prevents movement of solutes.
What is osmosis?
What is transcription?
What is cytokinesis?
The name of the process in which cells change into other forms (such as a stem cell becoming a blood cell).
What is differentiation?
Responsible for sorting, modification, and packaging of materials from the ER.
What is the golgi apparatus?
The movement of solutes from high to low with the help of channel and carrier proteins.
What is facilitates diffusion?
The process in which mRNA is read and converted into amino acids inside of the ribosomes.
What is translation?
The stage in which chromosomes are split into two separate sister chromatids.
What is anaphase?
The three components of the cytoskeleton, responsible for maintaining cell shape/structure, movement, and division.
What are microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments?
Responsible for protein synthesis (ribosomes attached to surface) and protein modification.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
The terms for the concentration of solute in solution (determines the direction of water movement in osmosis).
What are isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic?
The piece of genetic information that is three base pairs long, which gets turned into an amino acid.
What is a codon?
The stage in which chromosomes align at the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
Another organelle that breaks down materials, but specializes in metabolizing lipids and detoxifying cells (get rid of ROS -> H2O2).
What is peroxisomes?
A double-membraned organelle that acts as the "control center" of the cell, containing genetic information.
The three types of transport that require ATP to move substances.
What is endocytosis, exocytosis, and the Na+/K+ pump?
The two enzymes involved in DNA replication, one of which separates the strands of DNA and the other that builds a new strand based off of the old strand.
What are DNA helicase and DNA polymerase?
The stage in which chromosomes are fully on opposite sides of the cell, spindles break down, and the nuclear envelope begins to reform.
What is telophase?
The 3 phases of interphase.
What is G1, S, and G2 phases?
