Cells
The name of the specialized structures that perform important cellular functions within a eukaryotic (animal) cell.
What is organelle
the cell membrane is made up of this type of lipid molecule
what is phospholipid?
This is the transport of solutes from an area of high concentration to a low concentration.
What is simple diffusion?
This is Osmosis
What is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from high to low concentration?
This is mitosis.
What is a process in which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells?
This is the structure that is selectively permeable and forms the boundary of the cell.
What is the plasma membrane?
The way in which the phospholipids are arranged to make the cell membrane.
What is bi-layer?
Two differences between passive and active transport
What is requires energy or no energy and going against or with the concentration gradient?
This is isotonic
What is the equilibrium of solute and solution inside and outside of the cell?
This is interphase.
What is the longest phase in mitosis where the cell is preparing for cell division and duplicating its DNA?
These are the networks of sacs and canals that carry protein throughout the cytoplasm.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
The definition of selectively-permeable
What is the cell's ability to know what exits and enters the cell?
This is what makes facilitated diffusion different.
what is a protein channel that allows large materials through the plasma membrane?
This is the major factor that contributes to the movement of water.
What is where there is a higher concentration of solute?
This is the phase when the chromatin is no longer condensed and the nucleus reforms
What is telophase?
The organelle known as the "digestive bag" and breaks down food compounds and microbes.
What is lysosome?
To let things into the cell but going against the concentration gradient
What is active transport?
This is the difference between endocytosis and exocytosis.
What is endocytosis transports particles into the cell and exo transport them out
Daily Double
the solution of the cell if the solution in the cell has 20% solute and the solution in the beaker has 50% Solute.
What is hypertonic?
The chromosomes are lined up at the equator if the cell
What is metaphase?
These organelles occur in pairs and are involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.
What are centrioles?
Daily Double
what is the temperature, distance, size of the particle, and charge of a particle
This is why transport is essential for the cell
What is the cell needs transport to bring in nutrients to survive and make energy but also to excrete waste?
This is a hypotonic environment in the cell.
What is the solute concentration is higher inside of the cell and will cause water to enter the cell?
The difference between prophase and prometaphase
What is the nuclear envelope is still not fully disintegrated in prophase?
