The cellular organelles that synthesizes proteins.
What are ribosome?
100
The tendency of atoms, ions or molecules to move from an area of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
What is diffusion?
100
The mitotic phase in which the chromosomes are aligned in the middle of the cell, midway between the centrioles.
What is metaphase?
100
The process of specialization of cells by which at least 260 specific types of cells can be created from stem cells.
What is differentiation?
100
The portion of the cell that controls what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
200
The organelle that is known as the cell's powerhouse.
What is the mitochondria?
200
A process by which small molecules can be separated from larger molecules by forcing the smaller molecules through a membrane.
What is filtration?
200
The mitotic phase in which the chromatids of the chromosomes are separated and pulled towards opposite centrioles.
What is anaphase?
200
A stem cell that can give rise to every cell type.
What is totipotent?
200
The liquid of cytoplasm that supports the organelles.
What is cytosol?
300
The organelle that contains DNA and directs cellular activity.
What is the nucleus?
300
An example of diffusion that uses carrier channels to allow specific solutes to diffuse down the concentration gradient.
What is facilitated diffusion?
300
The mitotic phase in which chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear membrane disperses.
What is prophase?
300
Programmed cell death.
What is apoptosis?
300
Proteins that guide white blood cells to an injury site.
What are cellular adhesion molecules?
400
A membranous sac that contains enzymes capable of digesting worn cellular parts.
What are lysosomes?
400
The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration toward an area of higher solute concentration.
What is osmosis?
400
The mitotic phase in which nuclear membranes form around the two sets of chromosomes.
What is telophase?
400
A cell which can give rise to a specific set of cells down a specific pathway.
What is pleuripotent?
400
Fingerlike projections on a cell's surface that serve to propel substances across the surface of the cell.
What are cilia?
500
Thin rods that support the cytoplasm and help move substances and organelles within the cytoplasm.
What are microfilaments or microtubules?
500
A mechanism by which a cell brings a specific substance into the cell when the substance binds to receptors on the cell surface, then is enclosed by a vesicle.
What is receptor mediated endocytosis?
500
A term describing division of a cells cytoplasm.
What is cytokinesis?
500
A disordered form of cell death associated with injury and inflammation.
What is necrosis?
500
Formed when mitosis is allowed to progress unabated.
