The Cell In Action Ch.4 Flashcards
The diffusion of water though a semipermeable membrane is?
Osmosis
The movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density is?
Diffusion
The movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell is?
Passive transport
The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy is?
Active transport
The process by which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and enclose the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell is?
Endocytosis
The process in which a cell releases a particle by enclosing the particle in a vesicle that then moves to the cell membrane is?
Exocytosis
The process by which plants, algae and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food is?
Photosynthesis
The proses by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food.
Cellular respiration
The life cycle of a cell
Cell cycle
In a eukaryotic cell, one of the structure in the nucleus that are Mede up of DNA and protein; in a prokaryotic cell, the main ring of DNA
Chromosome
Chromosome that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure.
Homologous chromosome
In eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosome
Mitosis
The division of cytoplasm of a cell.
Cytokinesis
