condense, resembling an X-shaped
structure with two sister chromatids that become distinctly visible within the nucleus.
PROPHASE I
160
The homologous chromosome pair
(one inherited from each parent)
comes closer (create synapsis) and
associate along the entire chromosome length, forming a
tetrad. Each tetrad is composed of
four chromatids
PROPHASE I
161
Homologous chromosomes
exchange parts of DNA with each
other; this process is known as
crossing over

CROSSING OVER
165
leads to genetic recombination, which increases genetic diversity by producing new combinations of alleles in the resulting gametes (sperm or eggs).
CROSSING OVER
166
Homologous chromosomes
(bivalents) align along the
center of the cell
METAPHASE I
167
The centrioles reach the opposite poles of the cell with the spindle fibers extending from them.

spindle fibers attached to each
chromosome.

187
collection of mechanisms that
regulate the passage of solutes
such as ions and small molecules through cell/plasma membranes, which are lipid bilayers that contain proteins embedded in them
MEMBRANE TRANSPORT
188
The regulation of passage
through the membrane is due to
selective membrane permeability (semi-permeable)
MEMBRANE TRANSPORT
189
a characteristic of biological
membranes which allows them
to separate substances of
distinct chemical nature. In
other words, they can be
permeable to certain substances but not to others
MEMBRANE TRANSPORT
190
What if plasma membrane lost its
selective permeability?
The cell would have difficulty regulating the movement of
substances in and out, leading to problems with maintaining homeostasis and proper cellular function

process by which a cell or organism
maintains a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.
HOMEOSTASIS
192
THERE ARE TWO MAJOR WAYS IN WHICH MOLECULES OR PARTICLES CAN MOVE ACROSS A MEMBRANE
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
193
occurs when substances cross
the plasma membrane without
any input of energy from the cell.
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
194
Substances are moving from an
area where they have a higher
concentration to an area where
they have a lower concentration.
* It follows concentration gradient
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
195
3 TYPES OF PASSIVE TRANSPORT
* DIFFUSION
* FACILITATED DIFUSSION
* OSMOSIS

* random movement of
particles of a solute from a
region of high concentration
to low concentration
DIFFUSION
197
THREE MAIN FACTORS AFFECTING
THE RATE OF DIFFUSION
* concentration gradient
* temperature
* pressure
198
The higher the concentration,
temperature, and pressure, the
faster the rate of diffusion.
TRUE
199
Movement of the specific particles through specific carrier/ transport proteins situated in the
FACILITATED DIFFUSION
200
TYPES OF TRANSPORT PROTEIN
1. CHANNEL PROTEINS
2. CARRIER/TRANSPORT PROTEINS
201
These proteins form channels
or pores within the membrane, allowing ions or small polar molecules to move through them
CHANNEL PROTEINS
202
An example of a channel protein is
the ________, which facilitates
the movement of water molecules
across the membrane
AQUAPORIN
203
bind to specific molecules on
one side of the membrane and
undergo a conformational
change to transport the
molecule across the membrane
to the other side
CARRIER/TRANSPORTER PROTEINS
204
TYPE OF TRANSPORT PROTEIN
GLUCOSE TRANSPORTERS (GLUT PROTEINS)
205
What will happen if GLUT proteins
malfunction?
A malfunction in the carrier proteins responsible for glucose transport would limit the cellβs ability to take in
glucose, reducing the energy available for cellular processes and negatively impacting metabolism.
206
- diffusion of water across a
selectively permeable membrane
- Water diffuses across a
membrane from the region of
lower solute concentration to the
region of higher solute
concentration until the solute
concentration is equal on both
sides.
OSMOSIS
207
vital to plant and animal cell
survival.
OSMOSIS
208
ability of a solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water
TONICITY
209
3 CLASSIFICATION OF TONICITY
*Hypotonic
*Hypertonic
*Isotonic
210
* The concentration of solutes
outside the cell is LESS than the
concentration solutes inside the
cell, thus water enters the cell.
* Effects: Swell, burst, turgid,
cytolysis
HYPOTONIC
211
The concentration of solutes
outside the cell is GREATER
than the concentration solutes
inside the cell, thus water
leaves the cell.
* Effects: Shrink, Shrivel,
Plasmolysis
HYPERTONIC
212
The concentration of solutes outside the cell is EQUAL to the concentration of solutes inside the cell, water moves
equally in both direction.
* Effect: Normal, no change,
equilibrium
ISOTONIC
213
Is having more aquaporins better
considering osmosis?
Having more aquaporins generally improves the efficiency of osmosis. Aquaporins facilitate faster and more effective water movement across the cell membrane, helping the cell better regulate its water balance and adapt to changing
conditions
214
Cell use energy (with utilization of ATP or, in some cases, the electrochemical gradient created by ATPdriven pumps.
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
215
Movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration (against
the concentration gradient)
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
216
2 TYPES OF ACTIVE TRANSPORT
1. Primary Active Transport
2. Secondary Active Transport
217
energy is DIRECTLY used to
transport molecules or ions
against their concentration
gradient.
PRIMARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT
218
typically achieved by
transmembrane proteins known
as pumps.
PRIMARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT
219
which actively transports sodium ions (Na+) out of the cell and potassium ions (K+) into the
cell. The pump uses energy from
the hydrolysis of ATP to move
these ions against their concentration gradients, maintaining the proper ion
balance and electrical potential
across the cell membrane
PRIMARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT
220
relies on the energy established
by primary active transport
(usually through the Na+/K+
pump) to transport other
molecules or ions.
SECONDARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT
221
TWO MAIN TYPES OF SECONDARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT
βͺ Symport (Cotransport)
βͺ Antiport (Counter
transport)
222
molecules or ions are transported in
the same direction across the
membrane. One molecule is moved
against its gradient while the other is moved with its gradient
Symport (Cotransport)
223
the sodium-glucose
cotransporter (SGLT) uses the
energy created by the sodium
gradient to transport glucose into
the cell against its concentration
gradient
SYMPORT (COTRANSPORT)
224
molecules or ions are transported
in opposite directions across the
membrane. As one molecule is
transported against its gradient
into the cell, another molecule is
transported out of the cell with its
gradient.
Antiport (Counter Transport)
225
The sodium-calcium exchanger
(NCX) is an example of an antiport
protein that uses the sodium
gradient to exchange sodium ions
for calcium ion
ANTIPORT (COUNTER TRANSPORT)
226
process by which large quantities of
materials, molecules, or even entire
structures are transported into or out of a cell through various cellular
mechanisms.
BULK TRANSPORT
227
plays a vital role in moving
macromolecules, organelles, and other large substances within and between cells.
BULK TRANSPORT
228
BULK TRANSPORT 2 TYPES

large particles or substances from
its external environment by
enclosing them in a vesicle
formed from the cell membrane.
ENDOCYTOSIS
230
3 TYPES OF ENDOCYTOSIS
PHAGOCYTOSIS
PINOCYTOSIS
RECEPTOR-MEDIATED ENDOCYTOSIS
231
* Cell eating
* cells engulf solid
particles thru extending pseudopods
PHAGOCYTOSIS
232
* Cell drinking
* involves the non-selective
uptake of small droplets of
extracellular fluid containing
dissolved solutes.
PINOCYTOSIS
233
specific molecules, usually
ligands, bind to receptor
proteins on the cell surface
RECEPTOR-MEDIATED ENDOCYTOSIS
234
essential for the uptake of
various molecules, including
hormones, enzymes, and
cholesterol
RECEPTOR-MEDIATED ENDOCYTOSIS
235
release of large molecules or
substances from a cell into the
extracellular space. This is typically
accomplished by merging secretory
vesicles containing the materials with the cell membrane, allowing their contents to be expelled outside the cell.
EXOCYTOSIS
236
*is crucial for the secretion of various substances
EXOCYTOSIS
