| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Semipermeable | Allows certain substances to cross over a membrane. |
| Permeable | Allows all substances to cross over a membrane. |
| Photosynthesis | The process a plant uses to gain energy: Water + Sun + Carbon Dioxide = Oxygen and Energy |
| Glucose | Simple sugar (C6H12O6) |
| Cellular Respiration | The process that animals use to gain energy: Oxygen + Food (glucose) = Carbon Dioxide, Water, and APT (Energy) |
| Mitochondria | The organelle that makes the energy for the cell- The place where cellular respiration occurs. |
| Chloroplast | The organelle in a plant cell where photosynthesis occurs. |
| Fermentation | The lack of oxygen when energy is being used. |
| Diffusion | Movement of substances from high to low (membrane or no membrane) |
| Osmosis | Movement of WATER from high to low with a semipermeable membrane. |
| Passive Transport | Does NOT use energy when bringing substances into a cell. |
| Active Transport | Uses energy to bringing substances into a cell. |
| Endocytosis | Surrounds a particle or substance and forms a vesicle to bring into the cell. |

| DNA | Controls the cells activities. |
| Chromosomes | Where your DNA is organized. |
| Mitosis | Process where a single cell divides twice to produce two identical daughter cells. |
| Meiosis | Process where a single cell divides to produce four cells with 1/2 the original genetic info. Sex Cells. |
| Interphase | Phase 1- Chromosomes are copied. |
| Prophase | Phase 2- Nuclear membrane dissolves and starts to move to opposite poles, nucleus begins to disappear. |
| Metaphase | Phase 3- Chromosomes are lined up, homologous or save chromosomes pair up, centrioles are on opposite poles. |
| Anaphase | Phase 4- Chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell. |
| Telophase | Phase 5- Nuclear membrane reforms, cytokinesis starts. |
| Cytokinesis | The separating of two cytoplasm's to make two cells. |
