Q

cell transport

A

-semi-permeable (some things can enter like small, uncharged molecules, some cannot like large molecules and particles with high electric charge)
-passive transport (movement of particles across cell WITHOUT use of energy); 3 modes (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis)
-active transport (movement of particles across cell USING energy)
-bulk transport (large molecules, food, and other substances are packaged in membrane-bound sacs and moved across membrane)

Q

what are the differences between the three types of solutions of osmosis?

A

-hypotonic-cell swells (high conc inside)
-hypertonic-cell shrivels (high conc outside)

Q

sexual reproduction
what are the differences between mitosis and meiosis?

A

MITOSIS
-one division
-two daughter cells (diploid 2n)
-daughter cells genetically identical to parent cell
-enables multicellular adult to arise from adult (produces cells for growth and repair)
MEIOSIS
-two divisions
-four daughter cells (haploid n)
-daughter cells genetically non-identical to parent cell and to each other
-produces gametes (reduces chromosome number by half)
