Q

explain exocytosis

A
  1. ) materials transported to inside side of cell in vesicle
  2. ) membrane and vesicle join together
  3. ) create opening for particles to leave

Q

explain endocytosis

A
  1. ) membrane extends around particle that is taken in

A

process of turning glucose and water into ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, water

17

cellular respiration takes place in

A

mitochondria

18

glucose+oxygen=carbon dioxide+water+ATP

19
Q

equation for cellular respiration

actual

A

CsixHtwelve0six+6Otwo=6COtwo+6Htwo0+ATP

20
Q

photosynthesis and cellular respiration are

A

OPPOSITES, what one creates, the other breaks down

21
Q

how to animal cells get glucose since they don’t do photosynthesis

A

they get it from food which can always be traced to a plant which does photosynthesis to get glucose

22
Q

cell cycle

A

the sequence of growth that cells undergo

23
Q

interphase

A

first stage of cell cycle, period before cell division, cell copies DNA

24
Q

mitosis

A

the stage when the cell’s nucleus divides into two nuclei, has four parts

25
Q

prophase

A

first phase in mitosis, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, centrioles and spindle fibers appear

26
Q

metaphase

A

2nd phase in mitosis, chromosomes line up in the middle and attach to spindle fibers

27
Q

anaphase

A

3rd phase in mitosis, centromeres split and move to either sides of cell

28
Q

telophase

A

4th phase in mitosis, nuclear membrane forms, cell begins to split

29
Q

cytokinesis

A

after mitosis, cell membrane splits and now there are two daughter cells, chromatids condense into chromatin

30
Q

chromatin

A

stringy like fibers in interphase and cytokinesis

31
Q

chromatid

A

when the chromatin condenses, in anaphase, telophase, and part of interphase

32
Q

chromosome

A

to sister chromatids that are connected, in prophase, and metaphase

33
Q

centromere

A

the thing that connects the sister chromatics (chromosomes)

34
Q

centriole

A

the block that is at either end of the cell during metaphase and anaphase that holds the spindle fiber

35
Q

spindle fiber

A

the long strand that stretches across the cell in metaphase and anaphase

36
Q

list the cell cycle in order

A

interphase (mitosis) prophase metaphase anaphase telophase (end mitosis) cytokinesis
