DNA/RNA
Consists of two strands of nucleotides, looks like a spiral ladder.
DNA
"The powerhouse of the cell"-production of ATP and heat
Mitochondria
Has four stages: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Mitosis
The diffusion of water
Osmosis
The smallest living units of structure and function
A watery solution of minerals, gases, and organic molecules
Cell
Cytoplasm
Has many functions and is involved in gene expression and protein synthesis
RNA
Site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
The cell division process that forms gametes. Oogenesis and Spermatogenesis
Meiosis
Movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration
Diffusion
Phospholipids, cholesterol, and protein
Cell Membrane
A single strand of nucleotides
What is tRNA
What is mRNA
RNA
Transport RNA
Messenger RNA
Passageway of transport of materials within the cell and synthesis of lipids
Endoplasmic reticulum
Essential for growth and repair and replacement of damaged cells
Mitosis
Diffusion that requires transporters
Facilitated diffusion
Channels
Transporters
Antigens
Receptor sites
Proteins on or within the cell membrane with their own specific functions
Has four nitrogenous bases in complementing pairs
A-T, G/C
DNA
Synthesis of carbohydrates and packaging of materials for secretion from the cell
Golgi Apparatus
One cell with the diploid number of chromosomes divides once to form two cells, each with the diploid number of chromosomes.
Mitosis
Water and solutes move from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure
The movement of molecules from an area of lesser concentration to an area of greater concentration
Filtration
Active Transport
Made of DNA, RNA, and protein
Control center of the cell that has a double-layer membrane with pores
Code for protein
Nucleolus
Nucleus
A gene
Located in the chromosomes of the nucleus of a cell
DNA
Organizer of the spindle fibers for the distribution of chromosomes during cell division
Centrioles
One cell with the diploid number of chromosomes divides twice to form four cells, each with the haploid number of chromosomes
Meiosis
Name the two ways cells perform Endocytosis
Phagocytosis
Pinocytosis
A protein used to tag other damaged or misfolded proteins that need to be destroyed
The self destruct or programmed cell death
Ubiquitine
Apoptosis
