16
Q

Filtration

A

removing particles from solution by allowing liquid and substances that are smaller.

17
Q

osmosis

A

diffusion of water

18
Q

Active transport processes

A

endocytosis
exocytosis
active transport

19
Q

Endocytosis

A

molecules are too big to enter cell, vesicle is formed or “cell eating”

20
Q

Exocytosis

A

remaining particles from cell

21
Q

Active Transport

A

ions move against concentration

22
Q

isotonic solution

A

equal

23
Q

hypotonic solution

A

low/more particles in cell

24
Q

hypertonic solution

A

high/ more particles in water

25
Q

Mitosis

A

2 daughter cells with identical genetic make-up of parent cell

26
Q

Meiosis

A

sperm/egg cells are produced

27
Q

organelles

A

specialized structures with certain roles.

28
Q

ribosomes

A

makes proteins

29
Q

endoplasmic reticulum(smooth)

A

makes lipids

30
Q

endoplasmic reticulum(rough)

A

produces/stores proteins

31
Q

Golgi complex

A

packaging, processing, shipping

32
Q

Lysosome

A

waste disposal system, breaking down and digesting warn out cells

33
Q

Mitochondria

A

powerhouse

34
Q

Centrosome

A

helps cell division, duplicates cells before dividing (split during mitosis)

35
Q

centrioles

A

Organizing microtubules (split during mitosis)

36
Q

Microtubules

A

creates cytoskeleton (giving cell its structure)

37
Q

cilia

A

moving things across the surface of cell
