What is diffusion?
The Movement of a molecule from high concentration to low concentration.
What is the random movement played by microscopic particles suspended in fluids called?
Brownian Motion
What is Osmosis
The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane
What is facilitated diffusion
molecules that pass through a channel using the protein channel
What does passive transport mean?
Diffusion that doesn’t require ATP energy
What does active transport do and what does it require?
ATP is required and moves molecules from low concentration to high concentration
What is the difference between a solvent and a solute?
Solvent is a liquid and solute is a solid
Describe the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic solutions
Hypertonic solution has a higher concentration and Hypotonic solution has lower concentration
What would happen if a hospital IV bag was pure water?
Blood cells would fill up with water and burst
What is specifically happening to plants when they wilt ?
The vacuole collapses water leaks out
What are the three components involved in sexual reproduction?
Meiosis, fertilizations,gametes
What is the main difference between sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction = two parents, genetically unique offspring
Asexual reproduction = one parent, clones
What is meiosis also known as
reduction division
What is the difference between diploid and haploid cells?
diploid has full set of chromosomes and haploid has half a set of chromosomes
What crucial process happens in Prophase I of meiosis and what is specifically happening?
Crossing over and chromosomes are exchanging information
Clearly describe the difference between meiosis and mitosis
Meiosis 4 genetically different cells for the purpose of reproduction
Mitosis 2 identical cells
Where does feralization always occur?
At the sight of the egg
Fertilization results in the formation of the first diploid cell of a new organism. What is this cell called?
Zygote
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine Tri-Phosphate
Draw a molecule of ATP.
Picture
What is the ultimate goal of cellular respiration?
ATP retrieving
What is the first stage of cellular respiration and where does it occur?
Glycolysis and in the cytosol
In what organisms does this stage of cellular respiration occur in?
All Cellular organism
What is not needed for this stage of cellular respiration to occur
oxygen
