Q

Diffusion can only occur is:

A
  • the cell membrane is permeable to that substance.

- there must be a concentration gradient

Q

CELL FUNCTION:

Produces the ribosomes

16
Q

CELL FUNCTION:

Contains chromosomes (DNA) and functions in cellular reproduction; function in production of proteins

17
Q

Dissolving medium; typically water in the body

18
Q

Neoplasm and cytosol

A

Intercellular fluid

19
Q

Fluid on the exterior of the cell

A

Interstitial fluid

20
Q

Describe interphase:

A
  • cell grows

- cell carries on metabolic processes

21
Q

What happens in mitosis-

A
  • cell division

- cell replicates itself

22
Q

Dividing of the cytoplasm

23
Q

Uses diffusion to separate small molecules from large ones in a liquid

24
Molecules are unable to pass through the membrane alone and must have a carrier molecule
Facilitated
25
TYPES OF SOLUTIONS: The concentration of solutes inside the cells is the same as the concentration outside the cell. (Cell stats the same size)
Isotonic solution
26
TYPES OF SOLUTIONS: The concentration of solutes outside the cell is greater than the concentration inside the cell. (Cell will shrink because water will move out of cell)
Hypertonic solutions
27
TYPES OF SOLUTIONS: The concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than the concentration inside the cell. (Cell will swell bc water will move into it)
Hypotonic solution
28
Time between cell divisions
Interphase
29
Prophase-
- sister chromatids are held together by centromere - nuclear membrane disappears - nucleoli a disappears - centrioles separate and move to opposite ends of the cell - spindle begins to form
30
Metaphase
- Sister chromatids with the centromeres are attached to the spindle fibers - the chromatids line up along the equator of the cell
31
Anaphase
- separation of chromosomes with sister chromatids moving to opposite ends of the cell
32
Telophase
- spindle breaks down - nucleolus reappears - chromosomes coil - a nucleus forms at each end - cell membrane pinches dividing the cytoplasm (cytokinesis)
33
What is the function of mitosis?
function: is to produce more cells for growth and repair process
