Cell Membraneame
This part of the cell membrane helps to regulate what enters and leaves the cell.
selective permeability
This type of transport requires energy and is used to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
Active transport.
This is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy.
photosynthesis
This is the process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Mitosis
The cell membrane is semi-permeable, meaning it allows certain substances to pass through while keeping others out
some molecules can diffuse across the lipid bilayer but others cannot
This type of transport does not require energy and is used to move molecules down their concentration gradient.
Passive transport
This is the molecule that plants use to capture light energy during photosynthesis.
chlorophyll
This is the stage of mitosis where the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell.
Metaphase
The fluid mosaic model describes the cell membrane as a mixture of this and proteins.
phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins
This is the term for the process by which cells release molecules into the surrounding environment through the cell membrane.
Exocytosis
This is the byproduct of photosynthesis that is released into the atmosphere and used by other organisms for respiration.
carbon dioxide
This is the stage of mitosis where the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
anaphase
The cell membrane provides structure and support to the cell through its interactions with the cytoskeleton.
They have a network of filaments known as the cytoskeleton
This is the term for the process by which cells take in molecules from the surrounding environment through the cell membrane.
Active transport
This is the organelle found in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place.
This is the stage of mitosis where the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes.
Telophase
This is the term for the process by which the cell membrane engulfs and digests foreign particles.
phagocytosis
This is the term for the process by which cells use proteins to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient
Active transport
This is the term for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, which produce ATP and NADPH.
ight-dependent reactions
This is the stage of mitosis where the cytoplasm divides and the cell splits into two daughter cells.
Cytokinesis
