Chapter 8-Cellular Transport And The Cell Cycle Flashcards
Endocytosis
Type of bulk transport(active) moves into cell
Active transport
Uses energy, low to high
Exocytosis
Type of bulk transport(active)
Goes out of cell
Facilitated diffusion
Movement of molecules from high to low through a protein
Hypertonic solution
Dissolved substance higher outside cell. Shrinks
Hypotonic solution
Dissolved substance is higher inside cell. Swells
Isotonic solution
Dissolved substance is same. Same
Osmosis
Movement of water from high to low
Passive transport
No energy used. High to low
Anaphase
Centromeres split apart and chromatid pairs from each chromosome separate from each other. Chromatids pulled to opposite poles of the cell
Cell cycle
Sequence of growth and division of a cell
Centrioles
Small dark cylindrical structures made of microtubules located just outside the nucleus
Centromere
Plays a role in chromosome movement during mitosis
Chromatin
Strands of genetic material. DNA
Chromosome
Cell structures that carry genetic material that is copied and passed from generation to generation
Cytokinesis
The cells cytoplasm divides
Interphase
Period of growth. Cells grow in size and carry on metabolism, chromosomes are duplicated
Metaphase
Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers by their centromeres. Pulled by spindle fibers and line up on the equator of the spindle. One sister chromatid extends to one pole while the other extends to the opposite pole
Mitosis
Process by which two daughter cells are formed, each containing a complete set of chromosomes
What order?
- Organ systems, organism, organs, cells, tissue.
Cells – tissue – organs – organ systems – organism
Prophase
Longest phase. Spindle forms. Centrioles move to opposite ends. Nucleus, nuclear envelope, Nucleolus begin to disappear. Chromosomes made of 2 halves
Sister chromatid
Each half of chromosomes
Spindle
Football-shaped, cage like structure consisting of thin fibers made of microtubules
Telophase
Chromosomes unwind. Nucleolus reappears, nuclear envelope forms. Two distinct nuclei cells are formed
