Cell processes
Cell processes w/ Mrs. Corey
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Define osmosis | The diffusion of WATER |
what is the job of the cell membrane? | to control what goes in and out of the cell |
define selectively permeable | the cell membrane is selectively permeable which means it only allows certain materials to pass through |
define diffusion | The movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration(more crowded to less crowded) |
Passive transport | no energy needed (Ex: riding a bike down hill) |
define photosynthesis | when green plants use chlorophyll to trap the sun's energy and convert it into chemical energy |
Reactants of photosynthesis | Carbon dioxide and water |
Reactants of respiration | Glucose and oxygen go in and with energy (ATP) |
meiosis | Cell division of gametes. Daughter cells receive half chromosomes from one parent and half from the other parent. |
mitosis | Cell division of somatic (body) cells. Daughter cells are identical copy of mother cell. |
products of respiration | Carbon dioxide and water |
products of photosynthesis | Glucose and H2O |
active transport | transport where energy IS needed (Ex: riding a bike up hill) |
