Term
Definition
Diffusion   The process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.  
🗑
Osmosis   is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. (cell membrane  
🗑
photosynthesis   The process by which a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make food is called  
🗑
Autotrophs   Organisms that manufacture their own food by Photosynthesis. (plants)  
🗑
heterotrophs   Organisms that cannot make its own food, animals are called  
🗑
Respiration   is the process by which cells obtain energy from glucose (sugar)  
🗑
Mitochondria   powerhouses of cell.  
🗑
cell cycle   The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo is known as the  
🗑
daughter cells   During the cell cycle, a cell grows, prepares for division and divides into two new cells  
🗑
Prophase   Chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form chromosomes Pairs of centrioles move to opposite sides of the nucleus Spindle fibers form a bridge between the ends of the cell The nuclear envelope breaks down  
🗑
Metaphase   The chromosomes line up across the center of the spindle fiber apparatus Each chromosome attaches to the spindle fiber at its centromere.  
🗑
Anaphase   The centromeres split The two chromatids separate, and each chromatid becomes a new chromosome. The new chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell. The cell stretches out as the opposite ends are pushed apart.  
🗑
Telophase   The chromosomes begin to stretch out and lose their rod like appearance. A new nuclear envelope forms around each region of chromosomes.  
🗑
Cytokinesis   Cell membrane pinches around the middle of the cell The cell splits in two Each daughter cell ends up with an identical set of chromosomes and about half the organelles  
🗑
prokaryotes   (bacteria) is one, circular chromosome attached to the inside of the cell membrane  
🗑
chromatids   Duplicated chromosomes are called  
🗑
Cell Cycle   G1 - primary growth phase S – synthesis; DNA replicated G2 - secondary growth phase collectively these 3 stages are called interphase M - mitosis C - cytokinesis  
🗑
eukaryotic   cells store genetic information in chromosomes Most eukaryotes have between 10 and 50 chromosomes in their body cells Human body cells have 46 chromosomes or 23 identical pairs  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
