Ch. 3 Cells cont'd Flashcards
Diffusion
Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration
Passive Mechanisms
No energy
Facilitated Diffusion
Movement of molecules through a transport protein from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration
Osmosis
Movement of water
Filtration
Forces molecules through membranes
Active Mechanisms
Requires energy
Active Transport
Movement of molecules (particles) to an area of lower concentration to higher concentration
Endocytosis
Large particles are brought into the cell wrapped in cell membrane
Pinocytosis
Movement of liquid through cell membrane into the cell
Phagocytosis
Solid particle brought into the cell
Exocytosis
Substance in a vesicle is released from the cell
Interphase
Period of preparedness; DNA Replicates (Do your job)
Mitosis
Division of nucleus
Prophase
Nucleus disappears, Chromosomes condense, spindles form
Chromosomes
Chromatids & Centromere
