19
Q

solvent

A

something that the thing dissolves in

20
Q

solute

A

the thing that dissolves

21
Q

osmosis

A

osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane

22
Q

example if diffusion in the human body

A

breathing- oxygen diffuses into blood

digestion- amino acids and glucose are diffuser into the bloodstream

23
Q

what is arranged in a bilayer

A

phospholipids

24
Q

the carrier molecules that pump ions across a membrane are made of…

25
hydrophilic means
thrives in water
26
hydrophobic means
hates water and doesn’t touch it
27
hypertonic means
higher solute conc (lower water conc)
28
hypotonic means
lower solute conc (higher water conc)
29
isotonic
equal conc
30
plasmalysed means
less water so is membrane is shrivelling (for plant cells- pulling away from cell wall)
31
turgid means
swollen. lots of water
32
active transport is
movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of LOW conc to a region of HIGH conc
33
active transport requires ____ because
energy because it is moving against the conc gradient. the opposite direction of diffusion
34
diffusion and osmosis move ___ the conc gradient
down
35
why do cells divide
growth tissue repair asexual reproduction
36
chromosomes
has sections of information along it called genes that have information for certain functions
37
mitosis
the process by which the chromosomes in the nucleus copy and divide into two new nuclei ready for cell division
38
why is mitosis important
all the cells in an organism need to have a complete compliment of the genetic information to be able to carry out all cell functions
39
diploid
a cell with a double set of chromosomes
40
haploid
a cell with a single set of chromosomes
41
stages of mitosis
``` Interphase Visible Equator Separate Divides ```
42
centriole
where spindle fibres grow from
43
centromere
holds together chromotids
44
