Types of transport
Passive transport that regulates blood sugar
What is facilitated diffusion
One long thread of DNA that contains thousands of genes
The growth phase of the cell cycle
What is interphase
Chromosomes condense and start to look like chromatin again
What is the telophase
Signals that come from outside the cell
What are external signals
Active transport that sends messages to the brain
What is exocytosis
A section of the DNA that has instructions for making a protein
What is a Gene
The division phase of the cell cycle
What is Mitosis
The division of cytoplasm into two individual cells
What is cytokinesis
Signals that come from the cells own nucleus
What are internal signals
Active transport that removes bacteria
What is endocytosis
What is a chromatid
Chromosomes condense and are visible as sister chromatids
What is the prophase
Forms a cleavage furrow
What is cytokinesis in an animal cell
Critical points where to stop and go, can regulate the cycle
What are check points
Passive transport that controls blood sugar
What is osmosis
Region of the condensed chromosomes that looks pinched
What is the centromere
Spindle fibers connect to the centromeres of each sister chromatid
What is the metaphase
A cell plate forms midway between divided nuclei
Programmed cell death
What is Apoptosis
Passive transport that spreads molecules until equilibrium is reached
What is simple diffusion
What is the Telomere
Sister chromatids separate
What is the anaphase
Two identical body cells are made
What is the end result
Uncontrolled cell division
What is cancer
