Obtaining & Removing Materials/Cell Division/Photosynthesis/Respiration
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Selectively permeable | a property of a cell membrane that allows some substance to pass across it, while others cannot |
| Diffusion | the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration |
| Osmosis | the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane |
| Endocytosis | the process by which the cell membrane takes particles into the cell by changing shape and engulfing the particles |
| Exocytosis | the process by which a vacuole surrounding cell particle fuses with the cell membrane, forcing the contents out of the cell |
| Maintain | keep (something) at the same level, condition or rate |
| Cell cycle | the series of events in which a cell grow, prepares for cell division and divides to form two daughter cells |
| Interphase | the first stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs, during which a cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA |
| Replication | the process by which the cell makes a copy of the DNA in its nucleus before cell division |
| Mitosis | the second stage of the cell cycle during which the cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one set of DNA distributed into each daughter cell |
| Cytokinesis | the final stage of the cell cycle, in which the cell’s cytoplasm divides, distributes the organelles,into each of the two daughter cells |
| Sequence | a particular order in which related events, movements, or things follow each other |
| Photosynthesis | the process by which plants and other autotrophs capture and use light energy to make food from carbon dioxide and water |
| Autotroph | an organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to make its own food |
| Heterotroph | an organism that cannot makes its own food and gets food by consuming other living things |
| Chlorophyll | a green photosynthetic pigment found in th chloroplasts of plants, algae and some bacteria |
| Equation | a statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal |
| cellular respiration | the process in which oxygen and glucose undergo a complex series of chemical reactions inside cells, releasing energy |
| fermentation | the process by which cells release energy by breaking down food molecules without using oxygen |
| produce | make or manufacture from components or raw materials |
| source | a thing from which something comes from or can be obtained (gotten) from |
