27
Q

urinary system

A

bladder, kidneys

28
Q

reproductive system

A

29
Q

diffusion

A

passive process in which substances move freely through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membranes of cells without the help of membrane transport proteins

30
Q

osmosis

A

is a type of diffusion in which there is net movement of a solvent through a selectively permeable membrane. Like the other types of diffusion, osmosis is a passive process.

31
Q

isotonic solution

A

solution in which the cell maintains its normal shape

32
Q

hypotonic solution

A

solution that has lower concentration of solutes entering the cell faster then they can leave. causes the cell to swell and burst

33
Q

hypertonic solution

A

solution that has higher concentration of solutes causing molecules to leave the cell faster then they enter causing it to shrink

34
Q

hemolysis

A

rupture of cell

35
Q

crenation

A

shrinking of cell

36
Q

mitosis

A

cellular nuclear division

37
Q

mitosis stage 1: Prophase

A

chromatin fibers condense into chromasomes

38
Q

mitosis stage 2: Metaphase

A

centrameres (X’s) alight exactly in the center. this is called the metaphase plate

39
Q

mitosis stage 3: anaphase

A

centrameres split and begin to move to opposite poles. renames chromasomes. appear V shapped

40
Q

mitosis stage 4: Telophase

A

Nuclear envelopes and nucleoli reappear; chromosomes resume chromatin form; mitotic spindle disappears.

41
Q

meiosis

A

sexual reproduction cells
