Question
Answer
Diffusion   the movement of particles from regions of higher concentration to regions fo lower concentration  
🗑
Osmosis   the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane  
🗑
Passive Tranport   the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell  
🗑
Active Transport   the movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy  
🗑
Endocytosis   the process by which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring into the cell  
🗑
Exocytosis   process in which a cell releases a particle in a vesicle that then moves to the cell surface and fuses with the cell membrane  
🗑
Photosynthesis   the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food  
🗑
Cellular Respiration   the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food  
🗑
Fermentation   the breakdown of food without the use of oxygen  
🗑
Cell Cycle   the cell cycle of a cell  
🗑
Chromosomes   in a eukaryote cell, one of the structures in the nucleus that are made up of the DNA and protein; in a prokaryote, the main ring of the DNA  
🗑
Homologous Chromosomes   chromosomes that have the same sequence of the genes and the same structure  
🗑
Mitosis   in eukaryote cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which had the same number of chromosomes  
🗑
Cytokinesis   In cells that lack a cell wall, the cell pinches in two. In cells that have a cell wall, the cell plate forms between the two new cells.  
🗑
Interphase   1st step: Before mitosis begins, chromosomes are copied. Each chromosomes is then two chromatids.  
🗑
Prophase   Mitosis Phase 1: The nuclear membrane dissolves. Chromosomes condense into rodlike structures.  
🗑
Metaphase   Mitosis Phase 2: The chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell. Homologous chromosomes pair up.  
🗑
Anaphase   Mitosis Phase 3: The chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell.  
🗑
Telophase   Mitosis Phase 4: A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes unwind. Mitosis is complete.  
🗑


   

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.
