Q

Sperm cell adaptations

A

Has a tail to swim, layer over the nucleus contains enzymes to penetrate the egg

17
Q

Root hair cell adaptations

A

Large surface area, thin walls

18
Q

Diffusion

A

The net random movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

19
Q

Dilute

A

Make a solution weaker or thinner by adding a solvent to it

20
Q

Concentrated

A

Having a solution closest to it’s purest form without any form of solvent

21
Q

Osmosis

A

The net random movement of water from a place with lots of water to a place with less water across a partially permeable membrane

22
Q

Crenated

A

A state a cell becomes after osmosis when they are in a hypertonic solution

23
Q

SA to V ratio

A

Surface area to volume ratio

24
Q

Interphase

A

The first stage of cell division:

  • Cell grows in size
  • DNA and the organelles are replicated
25
Mitosis
Second stage of the cell cycle: - Chromosomes line up along the centre of the cell - They attach to the spindle fibres - Get pulled to the opposite ends of the cell - And the Nucleus divides in two
26
Cytokinesis
The third stage of the cell cycle: - The cytoplasm and cell membrane replicate - Two new genetically identical daughter cells are formed
27
Stem cell
A cell from which any other cell can be made
28
Plasmolysis
Contraction of a plant cell due to lack of water
29
Turgid
A plant cell that has swollen up due to too much water being in the cell
30
Turgor pressure
The force within a cell that pushes the membrane up against the cell wall
31
Active transport
The process in which molecules move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration across a partially permeable membrane. The body gives ATP energy and carrier proteins in the cell membrane to make it work
32
Embryonic stem cell
A stem cell that can form any cell in the body and comes from an embryo
33
Adult stem cell
A stem cell from an adult person that can only become the type of cell from where it came from
34
Therapeutic Cloning
The process of creating stem cells with the same genes as the patient: - take nucleus out of human egg cell - put the nucleus of the patient's cell in the egg cell - stimulate the egg cell so it divides into an embryo - take stem cells from the embryo after 4-5 days - stem cells grown in a container of warm nutrients - stem cells treated to develop type of cell suited for the patient
35
Hypertonic solution
High solute concentration
36
Hypotonic solution
Higher water concentration than another solution
37
Isotonic solution
Both solutions have an equal concentration of solutes
