Misotis results in two identical daughter cells.

Meiosis results in double, or four sex cells.

Q

Specific structure in a single celled organism

A

A flagellum is a structure in a single cell that makes way for movement. they can transport themselves quickly in sperm cells due to rapid movement.

16
Q

Diffusion what does it do

A

Regulates food, gases and waste products moving in and out of the cell.

17
Q

osmosis

A

Movement of water from where it is in greater concentration to lesser concentration

18
Q

osmosis what does it do

A

regulates hydration in and out of the cell, and in plants it controls turgor pressure.

19
Q

Active transport

A

movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration.

20
Q

Chloroplasts equation

A

Carbon dioxide + water — Glucose + water + oxygen

21
Q

Hypotonic

A

A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes than another solution. hypotonic if it has a lower concentration of solutes relative to the cytosol. Due to osmotic pressure, water diffuses into the cell, and the cell often appears turgid, or bloated.

22
Q

Hypertonic

A

A solution that contains more dissolved particles (such as salt and other electrolytes) than is found in normal cells and blood.

23
Q

Natural selection

A

Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways.
