16
Q

Where does energy come from in difussion

A

concentration gradient

17
Q

What increases rate of diffusion

A
  • temperature
  • particle size
  • concentration gradient
18
Q

Passive Transport

A
  • Diffusion

- facilitated diffusion (carrier transport)

19
Q

Active Transport

A

ATP Pumps

20
Q

Osmosis

A

movement of solvent (water) from area of high solvent concentration to low solvent concentration

21
Q

Hypotonic

A

Lower solute concentration than the cytosol

22
Q

Cell Crenation

A

cell shrinks due to being placed in a hypertonic solution

23
Q

Cell Lysis

A

cell swells and bursts when placed in hypotonic solution

24
Q

Isotonic

A

same solute concentration on both sides of the membrane

25
Q

4 Stages of Mitosis

A
  1. Prophase
  2. MetaPhase
  3. Anaphase
26
Q

Cell Cycle - 4 Phases

A

G1, S phase, G2 and M phase (mitosis)

27
Q

G1

A

growth phase

28
Q

G2

A

second growth phase

29
Q

S phase

A

DNA replication

30
Q

Interphase consists of

A

G1, S and G2 phases

31
Q

Prophase

A
  • Nuclear envelope disintegrates
  • DNA condenses
  • mitotic spindle forms
32
Q

Metaphase

A

Chromosomes line up at metaphase plate

-Spindle fibers (microtubules) attach to the chromosomes

33
Q

Anaphase

A

The Chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles

34
Q

In which phase does cytokinesis begin?

A

Anaphase

35
Q

Telophase

A
  • cleavage furrow pinches the cell into two identical daughter cells
  • nuclear envelope reappears
  • mitotic spindle becomes less visible
  • cytokinesis completed
