Membrane memory
This macromolecule makes up the majority of the cell membrane.
What are Lipids/Phospholipids.
This phase of the cell cycle is the longest (90%)!
What is Interphase
A cell does this during mitosis
Divides DNA (Also acceptable: Divides into two cells)
Passive transport does not use this:
What is energy
The name of the phase when a cell completely divides and forms two separate cells
What is Cytokinesis
These macromolecules act as channels or pumps in the cell membrane.
What are proteins/protein pumps/protein channels
During interphase, this stage is when DNA is copied/replicated.
What is S stage/Synthesis Stage
The 4 letters to remember the 4 phases of Mitosis
PMAT
This type of transport is about getting water in and out of cells
What is osmosis
This type of transport is when small molecules move directly through the cell membrane
What is Simple Diffusion
The property of a cell membrane that allows some things in, but not other things.
What is semi-permeable
What is Growing
What is Mitosis
What is Facilitated Diffusion/Facilitated
When molecules leave the cell using vesicles that merge with the cell membrane
What is Exocytosis
This molecule gives strength to the cell membrane so that it stays together.
What is cholesterol
These are the names of all three phases/stages of Interphase:
G1, S, G2
These are the small rods/tubes that attach to the chromosomes to pull them apart
What are Microtubules/Spindles
This is when the cell uses the cell membrane to engulf molecules and pull them into the cell
What is Endocytosis
When molecules move from an area of low concentration to high concentration, this is called...
Moving against the concentration gradient OR Active transport
By controlling what enters and leaves the cell, the cell membrane helps the cell maintain biological balance which is called...
This is what develops when cells divide out of control
The phase of the cell cycle that results in identical daughter cells (not part of Mitosis)
Cytokinesis
When molecules move from where there are alot of them to where there are fewer, this is called
Passive Transport OR Moving with the concentration gradient
Anytime active transport is happening, this form of energy is being used
What is ATP
