Osmosis
what is moving during osmosis
water
What is the main source of energy for all organisms?
the sun
produces identical offspring
asexual
in which phase of interphase is the DNA copied?
S-Phase
which process is for growth and repair of body cells?
mitosis
what is the quality of the cell membrane that it only allows certain materials in or out
selective permeability.
Usable energy for the cell is in what form?
ATP
produces different offspring
sexual
What is the longest phase of the cell cycle
interphase
Which process creates gametes?
meiosis
In which direction does water flow? (what does it follow)
water follows the solute
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?
To break down glucose into ATP
What is one advantage of sexual reproduction?
genetic variation, adapt to changes
What are the phases of mitosis in order?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
2n , n
diploid, haploid
where does the water flow if you put a cell in a hypertonic solution?
out of the cell
Which gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide
What is one advantage of asexual reproduction?
quick, efficient, higher number of offspring
what is the result of mitosis?
2 identical diploid daughter cells
when chromosomes fail to separate and gametes have too few or too many chromosomes
nondisjunction
If a cell is placed in a solution with lower solute concentration, what will happen to the cell?
it wil swell
During photosynthesis, energy is stored in the bonds of what molecule?
glucose
Which is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?
Low genetic variation can make a population more vulnerable to environmental changes.
what is the result of meiosis?
4 unique haploid gametes
what process happens in prophase 1 that is a source of genetic variation
crossing over
