Cell Transport
Movement of particles across the cell membrane that requires no energy.
What is Passive Transport
A solution with a higher concentration of dissolved substances outside the cell.
What is a Hypertonic Solution?
The phase where the cell grows and carries on metabolism.
What is Interphase?
The 1st Phase, where chromatin coils into chromosomes.
What is Prophase?
Dark spindle-like structures that move to opposite ends of the cell.
What are Centrioles?
What is Endocytosis?
The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is Osmosis?
The stage where nuclear division produces two daughter cells, each containing a complete set of chromosomes.
What is Mitosis?
The Short 2nd Phase, where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is Metaphase?
The football-shaped structure that separates sister chromatids.
What is Spindle?
Movement of materials through a membrane that requires energy.
What is Active Transport
A solution where dissolved substances are equal inside and outside the cell.
What is an Isotonic Solution?
Following telophase, a cell's cytoplasm divides.
What is Cytokinesis?
The 4th and Final Phase, where prophase changes are reversed.
What is Telophase?
BONUS:
These identical halves separate during anaphase.
What are Sister Chromatids?
The expulsion or secretion of materials from the cell.
What is Exocytosis?
A solution with a lower concentration of dissolved substances outside the cell, causing water to move in.
What is a Hypotonic Solution?
Masses of tissue that deprive the normal function of cells of nutrients.
What is Cancer Cells?
The 3rd Phase, where sister chromatids separate.
BONUS:
Cancer Cells form these masses of tissue.
What are Tumors?
This type of transport uses chemical energy and carrier proteins that change shape.
What is Active Transport?
In this solution, water flows out of the cell.
What is a Hypertonic Solution?
A result of mistakes in the cell cycle during the interphase stage.
What is Cancer?
BONUS:
The complete process includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
What is Mitosis?
BONUS:
When cancer cells spread through the circulatory system.
What is Metastasis?
