|
Diffusion
|
Particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration; no energy required; passive transport
|
|
Osmosis
|
The diffusion of WATER; moves from high concentration to low concentration; no energy required; passive transport
|
|
Mitosis
|
The separation of chromosomes to create two identical cells
|
|
Cell cycle
|
1. cell grows and copies its organelles and DNA
2. mitosis
3. separation into two identical cells
|
|
Fermentation
|
A process of making ATP (energy) when oxygen is NOT available
|
|
Cellular respiration
|
Oxygen + glucose are used to make ATP (energy); releases water and carbon dioxide
|
|
Photosynthesis
|
Occurs only in plant cells (in chloroplasts);
light energy + carbon dioxide + water are used to make glucose; releases oxygen
|
|
List the stages of mitosis, in order.
|
1. interphase 4. anaphase
2. prophase 5. telophase
3. metaphase
|
|
Endocytosis
|
The process of a large particle entering a cell; requires energy; active transport
|
|
Exocytosis
|
The process of releasing a large particle from a cell; requires energy; active transport
|
|
Cytokinesis
|
The division of cytoplasm
|
|
Centromere
|
The region that holds sister chromatids together
|
|
Passive transport
|
Area of high concentration to area of low concentration; does NOT require energy; diffusion and osmosis
|
|
Active transport
|
Area of low concentration to area of high concentration; requires energy; endocytosis and exocytosis
|
|
Binary fission
|
"splitting into two parts"
how prokaryotic cells (like bacteria) duplicate
