Fall Exam Vocab Pt.2

Includes Cell Transport, DNA, and Cell Cycle

QuestionAnswer
Homeostasis Maintaining a stable or "balanced" internal environment
Passive Transport Requires NO energy, Movement from high to low concentration with the concentration gradient (High to Low goes WITH the flow)
Diffusion A type of Passive transport, movement of SMALL molecules from high to low concentration with the gradient
Facilitated Diffusion A type of Passive transport, movement of LARGE molecules through protein channels from high to low concentrations with the gradient
Osmosis A type of Passive transport, diffusion of WATER through a selectively permeable membrane from high to low water concentrations with the gradient
Active Transport the movement of molecules from low to high concentrations, against the gradient, using ATP Energy, includes Pumps, Endocytosis, and Exocytosis
Protein Channel a protein that allows the transport of specific substances across a cell membrane, found in BOTH passive and active transport
Sugar-Phosphate backbone a repeating pattern of sugar-phosphate that make up the backbone of DNA, They do NOT code for traits
Hydrogen bonds in DNA hold base pairs together; They do NOT code for traits
Nitrogen bases The order of these codes for traits; Include Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine (A,T,C,G)
DNA Replication the process of making a copy of DNA, used to make more cells in the cell cycle
Interphase Cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for nuclear division; consists of G1, S, and G2 phases
S phase part of Interphase when DNA is copied or synthesized
M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis) Cell or Nuclear Division, creates 2 IDENTICAL SOMATIC daughter cells
G0 phase A nondividing/ resting phase in which a cell has left the cell cycle.
Cancer any tumor caused by uncontrolled cell division when cells skip G0
Cytokinesis division of the cytoplasm to form two separate identical daughter cells
Meiosis Produces 4 unique, haploid gametic cells for sexual reproduction
Crossing Over Chromosomes exchanging of segments of DNA, increasing genetic diversity
Independent assortment Chromosomes randomly separating into daughter cells
Protein Synthesis Creates proteins. Includes: 1.) Transcription - DNA --> mRNA 2.) Translation - mRNA --> amino acid chain
Deletion A type of Frameshift mutation that removes one or more nitrogen bases resulting in many amino acid changes after mutation
Insertion A type of Frameshift mutation that adds one or more nitrogen bases resulting in many amino acid changes after mutation
Substitution A type of Point mutation that swaps one or more nitrogen bases, sometimes results in amino acid changes

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
