| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a homeostasis? | A homeostasis is a "constant state" that allows life to maintain its chemical reactions, in balance. |
| What is diffusion? | Diffusion- the proccess by which molecules intermingle as a result of there kinetic energy of random moving. |
| What is passive transport? | Passive transport is the movment of materials through a cell membrane using no energy diffusing through water. |
| What is active transport? | Active transport is the movement of materials through a cell membrane requiring the use of energy opening pores using ATP, phagocylosis, pinocylosis. using cell microbrals again ATP, pumping against the diffusion or osmotic gradient. |
| what is hypnotonic solution? | lets water flow in to the cell. |
| What is plasmolysis? | is a cell shrinking due to the surounding hypotomic solution? |
| what is turgor pressure? | an internal cell pressure that holds a cell to maximum size. |
| What 3 things does a plant cell have thst animal cells do not? | 1. vacuole 2. cell wall 3. cytoplasm |
| pinocytosis | cell drinking, forming a vacuole from cell membrane tp stare fluids. |
| phagocytosis | cell eating, forming a vacuole around a particle of food, the vacuole. the membrane is aprt of the mebrane of the cell. |
| exocytosis | passing of waste or hormone from a cell, dumping the vacuole out of the membrane. |
| what is the balanced photosenthesis equation? | 6co2 + 6h2o-> C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 |
