Cell Processes

        Help!  

Definition
Term
selectively permeable   the ability of the cell membrane to allow certain materials to pass through and prevents other from passing through  
🗑
diffusion   one way in which some types of materials can pass through the cell membrane  
🗑
osmosis   the physical process of water moving throuh the cell membrane from a region of greater abundance to one of lesser abundance  
🗑
active transport   process by which cellular energy is used to transport material across the cell membrane  
🗑
passive transport   the movement of materials across the cell membrane without the use of cellular energy  
🗑
cell division   process during which one cell gives rise to two new cells  
🗑
cell division   process that produces two cells identical to the parent cell  
🗑
cell membrane   provides protection for the cell  
🗑
cell membrane   keeps the cell's inner content together  
🗑
cell membrane   regulates the movement of materials into and out of the cell  
🗑
cell division   responsibnle for the total number of cells in an organism  
🗑
centromere   structure that holds chromatids together  
🗑
centriole   a structue found in animal cell division that is not usually found in plant cell division  
🗑
permeable   membrane that allows all material to pass through  
🗑
mitosis   process in which the nucleus of a cell divides into two nuclei and the formation of two new daughter cells begins  
🗑
interphase   stage of cell division when the cell is performing its life functions  
🗑
interphase   stage of cell division when there is no evidence of cell division  
🗑
interphase   individual chromosomes are not visible  
🗑
chromatin   appearance of chromosomes during interphase  
🗑
duplication   process by which the individual chromosomes have made a copy of themselves  
🗑
chromosome   pair of sister chromatids  
🗑
chromosomes   become visible during late interphase  
🗑
chromatids   pair of identical chromosomes connected by centromere  
🗑
prophase   chromosomes become even more visible  
🗑
prophase   second stage of cell division  
🗑
prophase   each chromosome appears as a pair of chromatids attached by centromere  
🗑
prophase   centrioles move to opposite side of cell  
🗑
prophase   spindle fibers begin to appear around centrioles  
🗑
prophase   nuclear membrane begins to disappear  
🗑
metaphase   third stage of cell division  
🗑
metaphase   spindle fibers attach to centromeres  
🗑
metaphase   chromatids line up across the middle of the cell  
🗑
anaphase   centromere splits  
🗑
anaphase   spindle fibers pull one member of each chromatid to opposite side of cell  
🗑
anaphase   fourth stage of cell division  
🗑
telophase   fifth phase of cell division  
🗑
telophase   each chromosome begins to uncoil and become less visible  
🗑
telophase   nuclear membrane reforms ---nucleus becomes visible  
🗑
cytokinesis   process during which the cytoplasm divides producing two separate cells  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
