Q

homeostasis

A

a stable internal environment

  • oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange
  • bring in nutrients
  • get rid of wastes

Q

active transport

A

the movement of molecules though a membrane using energy, usually from low to high or because particles are too big

Q

explain exocytosis

A
  1. ) materials transported to inside side of cell in vesicle
  2. ) membrane and vesicle join together
  3. ) create opening for particles to leave

Q

explain endocytosis

A
  1. ) membrane extends around particle that is taken in
  2. ) membrane creates a vesicle around particle
  3. ) vesicle moves freely

Q

transport proteins

A

in the cell membrane, require energy to work, pump particles in or out of the cell from low to high concentrations

Q

cellular respiration

A

process of turning glucose and water into ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, water

17
Q

cellular respiration takes place in

18
Q

equation for cellular respiration

words

A

glucose+oxygen=carbon dioxide+water+ATP

19
Q

equation for cellular respiration

actual

A

CsixHtwelve0six+6Otwo=6COtwo+6Htwo0+ATP

20
Q

photosynthesis and cellular respiration are

A

OPPOSITES, what one creates, the other breaks down

21
Q

how to animal cells get glucose since they don’t do photosynthesis

A

they get it from food which can always be traced to a plant which does photosynthesis to get glucose

22
Q

cell cycle

A

the sequence of growth that cells undergo

23
Q

interphase

A

first stage of cell cycle, period before cell division, cell copies DNA

24
Q

mitosis

A

the stage when the cell’s nucleus divides into two nuclei, has four parts

25
prophase
first phase in mitosis, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, centrioles and spindle fibers appear
26
metaphase
2nd phase in mitosis, chromosomes line up in the middle and attach to spindle fibers
27
anaphase
3rd phase in mitosis, centromeres split and move to either sides of cell
28
telophase
4th phase in mitosis, nuclear membrane forms, cell begins to split
29
cytokinesis
after mitosis, cell membrane splits and now there are two daughter cells, chromatids condense into chromatin
30
chromatin
stringy like fibers in interphase and cytokinesis
31
chromatid
when the chromatin condenses, in anaphase, telophase, and part of interphase
32
chromosome
to sister chromatids that are connected, in prophase, and metaphase
33
centromere
the thing that connects the sister chromatics (chromosomes)
34
centriole
the block that is at either end of the cell during metaphase and anaphase that holds the spindle fiber
35
spindle fiber
the long strand that stretches across the cell in metaphase and anaphase
36
list the cell cycle in order
interphase (mitosis) prophase metaphase anaphase telophase (end mitosis) cytokinesis
