Molecules move through the cell membrane from high to low concentration (oxygen and carbon dioxide use this process).
What is passive transport?
This controls what comes into and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The cell grows and duplicates its DNA (first phase of cell division).
What is interphase?
DNA forms X-shaped chromosomes and spindle fibers appear (first phase of mitosis).
What is prophase?
A unicellular organism splits into two identical cells.
What is binary fission?
An organism uses energy to move a molecule from low concentration to high concentration.
What is active transport?
This organelle is considered the powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondrion?
The nucleus divides into two nuclei (this stage has 4 phases).
What is mitosis?
The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell (second phase of mitosis).
What is metaphase?
Parts grow out of the parent plant and become individual plants.
What is vegetative reproduction?
Ions move through the cell membrane by attaching to a protein which changes shape to allow the ion to pass through (passive transport).
What is facilitated diffusion?
Proteins are made here.
What is a ribosome?
The cell membrane pinches the cytoplasm into two cells.
What is cytokinesis?
The chromosomes separate at the centromeres and move to opposite sides of the nucleus (3rd phase of mitosis).
What is anaphase?
A type of asexual reproduction in which a projection of a parent organism stays attached to or breaks away to form a new organism.
What is budding?
Three types of passive transport?
What are diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion?
What are chromatids?
Energy is obtained with little oxygen in a process that produces the by-products of carbon dioxide and alcohol (how bread is made).
What is fermentation?
The chromosomes uncoil and two new nuclear membranes form (4th phase of mitosis).
What is telophase?
Characteristics of meiosis.
What are it involves only reproductive cells for making a new organism; divides twice in 8 phases; and produces 4 unique daughter cells with 23 chromosomes.
Two examples of when a cell uses active transport.
What are the need to move molecules from low to high concentration and when molecules are too large to pass through the cell membrane?
Transports material around the cell.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
These are opposite processes involving glucose, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water
What are cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
Ways mitosis and meiosis are similar.
What are they are both cell division, produce daughter cells, and involve phases.
Characteristics of mitosis.
What are it occurs in body cells for growth, development and repair; divides once in 4 phases; produces two identical daughter cells with 46 chromosomes each; happens throughout the life of the organism.
