Cells
Unit three
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Metaphase | Mitosis when fibers meet in the middle |
| Binary fission | Asexual reproduction the cell divides by two |
| Cell theory | First unifying theme of biology, all things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life and cells make other cells |
| Anaphase | Fourth stage of mitosis, when the chromatids go to opposite sides of the cell |
| Endocytosis | When a large molecule comes into the cell to the semi permeable membrane |
| Cytokinesis | End the stage of mitosis, when cytoplasm divides |
| Exocytosis | When a large molecule is expelled from the cell |
| Plasma membrane | Semi permeable membrane only found in plants and animals |
| Active transport | Movement of molecules across the membrane using energy |
| Teleophase | This phase of mitosis, when the cell begins to divide |
| Prophase | Going to phase of mitosis, when the chromatins condense |
| Passive transport | Diffusion through the membrane, no energy needed |
| Phospholipid | Molecules that form the two layer cell membrane |
| Interphase | Longest stage of mitosis, the cell performs normal activities and duplicates organelles |
| Chromosome | Long continuous strand of DNA |
| Eukaryote | A type of complex cell with the nucleus, EX. Plants and animal cells |
| Prokaryote | Type of basic cell , No nucleus and no organelles example, bacteria |
| Mitosis | A sexual reproduction |
| Photosynthesis | Process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy to supply the producer with its own energy |
| Hypotonic solution | Having less solute compared to the solvent |
| Isotonic solution | Solution has equal solute compared to the solvent |
| Hypertonic solution | Having more solute compared to the solvent |
| Falicitated diffusion | Diffusion assisted by protein channels |
| Cell cycle | Eukaryotic cells pattern of growth |
| Cellular respiration | ATP Break down carbon when oxygen is present |
