Fall Exam Vocab Pt.2
Includes Cell Transport, DNA, and Cell Cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
