Cells part 2
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Mitosis | The second stage of the cell cycle during which the cells nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one set of DNA is distributed into each “daughter cell” |
| Endocytosis | A process where the cell membrane takes particles into the cell by changing shape and ingulfing the particles. |
| Osmosis | Is the difference of water across the cell membrane (cells require water) |
| Facilitated diffusion | Proteins in the cell membrane form channels through which sugars could pass. |
| Diffusion | The process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. |
| Interphase | Cell grows, copies it’s DNA + prepares to divide |
| The difference between passive transport and active transport | The difference between active transport and passive transport is one uses energy and the other doesn’t |
| Cell cycle | The series events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, an divides to form two “daughter cells”. |
| Replication | The process by which a cell makes a copy of the DNA in its nucleus before cell division. |
| The Oder of the stages of the cell cycle | Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokines |
| The functions of cell division | Repairs damage & replaces aging & dead cells Allows an organism to grow Used for reproduction |
| Selectively permeable | Some substances can make across the membrane while others can not |
| Cytokinesis | The final stage of the cel cycle, in which the cells cytoplasm divides, distributing the organelles into each of the 2 “new daughter cells” |
| The stages of mitosis | Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, telophase |
| Exocytosis | The process by which the vacuole surrounding particles fuses with the cell membrane, forcing the contents out of the cell. |
| Which types of transport fall into each category? (Passive or Active) | Diffusion - passive transport Facilitated Diffusion- passive transport Ósmosis - passive transport Exocytosis - active transport Endocytosis - active transport |
