16
Q

cytoskeleton

A

3 kinds of protein filaments
-shape
-cell movement
-organelle movement

17
Q

centrosomes

A

form mitotic spindle; needed to form cilia and flagella

18
Q

cilia

A

abundant, hair-like cell projections, move particles around cell

19
Q

flagella

A

long cell projection; whip-like motion moves sperm

20
Q

interphase

A

DNA replicates

21
Q

mitosis

A

nuclear division

22
Q

prophase

A

nuclear membrane disappears, chromatin condenses into chromosomes; centrioles move opposite poles, spindle fiber forms

23
Q

metaphase

A

chromosomes line up, spindle fibers attach to centromeres of chromosomes

24
Q

anaphase

A

chromatids of chromosomes separate; move opposite poles

25
Q

telophase

A

cell reverses prophase activities, spindle breaks up, nuclear membrane reappears

26
Q

cytokinesis

A

cytoplasm division into two genetically identical daughter cells

27
Q

crenation

A

to shrink or shrivel

28
Q

hemolysis

A

destruction of red blood cells

29
Q

simple diffusion

A

high concentration to low concentration
solids, liquids, or gas is moved across plasma membrane

30
Q

tonicity

A

measure of relative solute concentration between 2 solutions

31
Q

isotonic

A

same solute

32
Q

hypertonic

A

more solute

33
Q

hypotonic

A

less solute

34
Q

osmosis

A

low concentration to high concentration

35
Q

in a dialysis bag, glucose and iodine are?

A

solutes

36
Q

passive processes use what kind of energy to move substances across plasma membrane?

A

kinetic energy

37
Q

red blood cell in hypertonic solution

A

crenate

38
Q

red blood cell in hypotonic solution

A

hemolyze
