Are medium-sized fibers that are not remodeled. They aid in the stabilization of organelles such as the nucleus, as well as the attachment of cells to one another and to the substrate.
INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS
40
Most of the plants are green because it has green pigment called
chlorophyll
41
Is where photosynthesis happen
CHLOROPLAST
41
Are made up of thin hollow tubes Provide structures for cilia and flagella.

EUKARYOTIC CELLS
45
Unicellular organisms without a nucleus or membrane-enclosed organelles
PROKARYOTIC CELLS
46
A cell spends the majority of its time It is where cell develops, duplicates its chromosomes, and gets ready for cell division.
INTERPHASE
47
First phase of Mitosis The process of dividing the duplicated genetic material carried in a parent cell's nucleus into two identical daughter cells.
PROPHASE
48
Center of the chromosomes that attaches the sister chromatids together
CENTROMERE
49
is distinguished by the arrangement of duplicated chromosomes on the equatorial plate known as the metaphase plate.
METAPHASE
50
Chromosomes are reproduced and separated into daughter chromosomes placed at opposite ends of the cell. At this stage, the chromosomes have reached their maximum amount of condensation, allowing for simple segregation and nucleus formation.
ANAPHASE
51
Is the division of the cytoplasm, where the cell divided producing two new cells.

58
The first 22 pairs are called
autosomes
59
These are inherited from parents, like color blindness. They are present in almost all the cells (including the germ cells or the reproductive cells) in bodies because they are inherited.
HEREDITARY / GERMLINE MUTATION
60
These occur usually because of lifestyle or environmental factors like exposure to chemicals or diseases. These can also occur due to errors during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells are inherited

75
is the second most common trisomy after Down Syndrome. It is the trisomy of chromosome 18 99% of babies die

KLINEFELTER'S SYNDROME
76
It is a fluid in structure with embedded or attached proteins and some carbohydrates that give it a “mosaic” feature.
FLUID MOSAIC MODEL
77
is called terminal 11q deletion disorder. This is a very rare disorder. Those affected have normal intelligence or mild retardation, with poor or excessive language skills.
JACOBSEN SYNDROME
78
involves the movement of molecules from lower concentration to higher concentration with the use of energy.
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
78
Moves the substances against the concentration gradient. Low concentration to high concentration
Membrane Pumps
79
Allows the cell to move larger object into the cell by engulfing the object with vesicle.
Endocytosis
79
Happens when a cell expels an object out of the cell Objects in a cell is cased in a vesicle which is then expelled
Exocytosis
80
Occurs when particles move from one area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Is an example of Passive transport because is not a requirement during the process.
DIFFUSION
81
involves the movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration and no amount of energy is required.
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
82
Is a type of passive transport that relies on carrier proteins in order for the substances to move down their concentration gradient.
