| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Gamete | sex all |
| Zygote | result of the fusion |
| Fertilization | the process of fusion |
| Germ cell | makes gamete |
| Somatic cell | make all other cells |
| Homologous chromosomes | Chromosome allow cells to grow |
| Active transport | proteins are used to move small small Potassium, Sodium across the membrane |
| Prophase | first stage of cell division; nuclear membrane breaks down |
| Metaphase | chromosomes lined up in the middle of the cell; chromosomes are connected to a spindle fiber |
| Anaphase | Sister chromatids separate into individual chromosome |
| Telophase | Chromosomes move to opposites ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes, they uncoil( Two new nuclear membrane form |
| Cytokinesis | Is the separation of the cytoplasm of the original cell into two new cells |
| Mitosis checkpoint | chromosome line up at the equator and checks that the chromosomes are properly attached to the spindle fibers |
| Cancer cells | Overgrowing cell the |
| Anaerobic | a process that does not require oxygen |
| Aerobic | a process that require oxygen |
| Cellular Respiration | metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert energy into ATP |
| Electron Carriers | Carry electrons electron from place to another |
| Glycolysis | Takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell( does not need oxygen |
| Pre- Krebs | Pyruvates of glycolysis are move into the mitochondria |
| The kreb cycle | Known as the citric acid cycle( an aerobic process; needs oxygen) |
| The electron transport chain | Takes place in the inner membrane of the mitochondria ( aerobic process) |
| Fermentation | Aerobic respiration causes; fermentation proceeds and ATP is produced in minimal amounts (Requires oxygen) |
| Alcoholic Fermentation | Sugars are converted into energy and produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as metabolic wastes |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | Process which sugars are converted into cellular energy and metabolic byproduct lactic acid |
| Homeostasis | A state of relatively constant internal physical and chemical conditions |
| Diffusion | The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of concentration |
| Equilibrium | is when molecules are evenly spread throughout a space |
| Cell | a sac fluid that are reinforced by proteins and surrounded by membranes |
| Prokaryotes cells | The first cell to inhabit the earth Simple cells Bacteria Theses cells do not have a nucleus |
| Eukaryotic Cells | are found in plants, animals, protists and fungi ( these cells have a nucleus |
| Calvin Cycle | can be divided into 3 phases Carbon fixation , carbon reduction, regeneration of RuBP |
| Anabolic Reactions | small molecules are combined into larger molecules for repair,growth ad storage |
| Catabolic Reactions | breaks down molecules to release their stored energy |
| Exergonic | Releases energy |
| Endergonic | Reactions requires energy |
