| Bio Term | Definition | Orgin | Prefix/meaning | root/meaning | Suffix/meaning | Alternate Words |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| plasma membrane | serves as a boundary between the cell and it's enviorment; allows materials such as water and nutrients to enter and waste products to leave. | Gk | NA | plassein /"to mold," originally "to spread thin,"; membrum/ "limb, member of the body" | NA | plaster, plastic, plasmid, plasmodium |
| dynamic equilibrium | result of diffusion where there is continuos movement of particles but no overrall change in concentration. | Gk/L | NA | dynasthai/ "be able to have power,"; æquus "equal" + libra "a balance, scale, plummet," | NA | dynasty, equality, equal, equally |
| diffusion | movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration. | L | dif- "apart, in every direction" | fundere "pour" | NA | fondu, diffrent, differ, fussion, fuse |
| hypertonic solution | soulution in which the concentration of dissolved substances is higher on the outside then it is on the inside. Causes the cell to shrink. | Gk/L | hyper/over, beyond, overmuch, above measure | tonikos/ "of stretching," ; solvere "to loosen, untie, solve, dissolve | NA | hyperactive, hype, hynotic, hypnotize |
| hypotonic solution | a soulution in which the concentration of dissolved substances is lower on the outside of the cell then on the inside. may cause some cells to explode. plant cells become stren and firm. | Gk | hypo/under | NA | NA | hypnotize, hypocrite, hypothesis, hypothalamus |
| isotonic solution | solution in which the concentration of of dissolved substances is the same as the inside and outside. | Gk | isos/equal : homogeneous : uniform | NA | NA | homeostasis, meiosis, homeopathic, homeotic |
| osmosis | the diffusion of water. | Fr/Gk | endo-/ "inward" | osmos/ "a thrusting, a pushing," from othein "to push, to thrust | -sis/suffix in Gk. nouns denoting action, process, state, condition, | endoplasmic reticulum, hypothesis, metamorphosis, meiosis |
| passive transport | movemet of particles across cell membranes by diffusion or osmosis. does not require energy to move things. | L | trans- "across | passivus "capable of feeling or suffering; portare "to carry" | NA | transaction, tranport, pass, pursuasive |
| chromosome | cell stuructures that carry the genetic code that is copied and passed from generation to generation of cells. | Gk | NA | khroma "color" | soma "body." | chroma, some, color, ribosome, |
| cytokinesis | cell process following meiosis or mitosis in which the cell's cytoplasm divides and seperates into new cells. | Gk | kytos/ "a hollow, receptacle, basket | kinesis /"movement, motion | NA | telokinesis, kinetic, cytoskeleton, cytokinins |
| mitosis | period of nuclear cell division in which two cell daughters are formed, each containing a complete seet of chromosomes. | Gk | mitos /"warp thread" | NA | sis/ denoting action, process, state, condition | meiosis, genesis, metamorphosis, hypothesis |
| cancer | uncontrolled cell division that may be caused by enviormental factors or change in enzyme production in the cell cycle. | Gk | NA | karkinos/crab, tumor, and the zodiac constellation | NA | crab, carcinogenic, car, |
| adenosine triphosphate aka ADP | molecule formed by the leaving of a phosphate group for ATP. results in a large amount of energy that is used for bilogical reassons. | Gk | treis/three | adenos/gland; phos /"light"; phoros/ "bearer | NA | photo, photography, phosphate, tricycle |
| photosynthesis | process in which autotrpohs use sunlight and chlopropalsts to get energy. | Germ | photo / "light" | synthese/ "synthesis | NA | photic, aphotic, sythetic, photo |
| aerobic respiration | chemical reactions that require the prsence of oxygen. | Gk. / L | aero- "air" ; re- "again" | bios "life"; spirare "to breathe" | -tion/uffix forming nouns from verbs | air, airplane, replay, biology, communication |
| anaerobic respiration | chemical reactions that do not require the presence of oxygen. | Gk | an-/ not, without | NA | NA | anti, achromatic, ahistorical, anastigmatic |
