Question
Answer
show process by which a new cell becomes more specialized, i.e becomes a certain cell in the body (brain cell, skin cell, blood cell)  
🗑
show process by which a cell maintains a constant internal environment. Cells excrete waste and take in nutrients to maintain a healthy state.  
🗑
prokaryotes   show
🗑
eukaryotes   show
🗑
diffusion   show
🗑
show movement of WATER through a selectively permeable membrane from a high concentration to a low concentration  
🗑
active transport   show
🗑
show moving materials with the concentration gradient (from a high to low concentration); does not require energy  
🗑
facilitated transport   show
🗑
show An environment in which the water and solute concentrations are equal inside and outside cell. Cell stays the same size.  
🗑
show An environment in which solute concentration is greater outside the cell and water is higher inside the cell, so water flows out of the cell.  
🗑
hypotonic   show
🗑
show A cell takes material into itself (cell “eating”); it wraps it up in its cell membrane and pulls it inside.  
🗑
exocytosis   show
🗑
carbohydrate   show
🗑
show Used to provide structural support in the body. Monomers: chain of amino acids (CHON). Enzymes are proteins.  
🗑
show A polymer made of monomers called nucleotides (CHONP) that store genetic information  
🗑
show Process of cell division. Results in 2 daughter cells identical to the parent cell. Used for growth and repair of cells.  
🗑
somatic cells   show
🗑
show a pair of identical chromosomes as a result of DNA replication  
🗑
show 2n; double set of chromosomes  
🗑
haploid   show
🗑
cancer   show
🗑
show Proteins that catalyze reactions by lowering the activation energy needed; speeds up the reaction. (ends in -ase)  
🗑
show a single unit or building block of a larger biomolecule  
🗑
polymer   show
🗑
virus   show
🗑
capsid   show
🗑
show virus that infects bacteria; -phage = destroy  
🗑
lytic infection   show
🗑
show type of viral reproduction - 1.virus enters cell, 2.embeds cell’s DNA, 3.viral DNA is copied when the host cell replicates  
🗑
vaccine   show
🗑
chloroplasts   show
🗑
show organelle which converts glucose to ATP (energy)  
🗑
show to make, put together  
🗑
show organelle involved in protein production; embeded with ribosomes  
🗑
genome   show
🗑
interphase   show
🗑
prophase   show
🗑
metaphase   show
🗑
show division of the cytoplasm and organelles during nuclear division  
🗑
show part of cell cycle involving DNA replication. Occurs during Interphase  
🗑
show a "pit stop" where a cell leaves the cell cycle and stops replicating  
🗑
Lysosomes   show
🗑


   

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.
