General Biology 1 Flashcards
Five different stages of Mitosis
interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
Difference between mitosis and meiosis
Mitosis is a type of cell division for somatic cells and for the asexual reproduction of unicellular eukaryotic cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division for the production of gametes in sexual reproduction.
refers to the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Diffusion
is a type of diffusion specifically for water molecules moving across a semi-permeable membrane.
Osmosis
Is any external solution that has a low solute concentration and high water concentration compared to body fluids
Hypotonic solution
Three basic parts of a cell
cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm
Three cell theories
- All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
- The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms.
- All cells come from preexisting cells.
Types of cells
stem cells, bone cells, blood cells, muscle cells, fat cells, skin cells, nerve cells, endothelial cells, sex cells, pancreatic cells, cancer cells
