Q

Facilitated Diffusion

A

Another example of passive transport. Proteins in the membrane of the cell help materials cross the membrane that otherwise would not be able to. Like a draw bridge.

Q

Bulk Transport

A

Large groups of molecules moving across the membrane. Active Transport.

17
Q

Chemical Formula for Photosynthesis

A

6CO2 + 6H20 —> C6H12O6 + 6O2

18
Q

Light Reactions

A

Light is required for them to function.

19
Q

Aerobic Respiration

A

Cellular respiration “with air”

20
Q

Anaerobic Respiration

A

Cellular Respiration in the lack of air

21
Q

Electron Carrier

A

A molecule that can carry Electrons

22
Q

ATP

A

The main source of energy inside a cell

23
Q

How is the energy in ATP released?

A

One of the chemical bonds on the phosphate is broken releasing the energy.

24
Q

Fermentation

A

The result of anaerobic respiration. Byproduct is lactic Acid which makes your muscles sore.

25
Q

Mitosis

A

The division of one cell into two identical daughter cells.

26
Q

Prophase

A

The first stage of Mitosis. DNA condenses and duplicates

27
Q

Metaphase

A

2nd Stage of Mitosis. Chromosomes line up along the center of the cell. Spindle fibers connect to each side of the chromosome.

28
Q

Anaphase

A

3rd Stage of Mitosis. Spindle fibers pull chromosomes away from each other into sister chromatids.

29
Q

Telophase

A

4th Stage of Mitosis. Chromosomes begin to unravel. Two separate cells have almost formed.

30
Q

Cytokenisis

A

The division of the cell into two cells.
