This movement from areas of high concentration (crowded) to areas of low concentration (less crowded) is called
diffusion
The diffusion of water through cell membranes
osmosis
The movement of particles across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell
passive transport
A process of transporting particles that requires the cell to use energy
active transport
When large particles, such as wastes, leave the cell, the cell uses an active-transport process called
exocytosis
Plants capture energy from the sun and change it into food through a process called
photosynthesis
A pigment that helps plant absorb light engergy is
chlorophyl
What gas is a byproduct of photosynthesis?
oxygen
Cells can obtain energy without oxygen using a process called. HINT: this is the same process that allows bread dough to rise.
fermentation
Carbon dioxide, water, and energy are by products of what type of process?
cellular respiration
This phase includes three sub phases in which the cell grows.
interphase
This phase of mitosis is when the chromosomes line up in the middle or "equator" of the cell.
metaphase
This phase of interphase is where all cell organelles and DNA is duplicated in preparation for mitosis
S phase or synthesis
This stage of mitosis the spindle fibers begin to pull the chromosome pairs apart.
anaphase
In this stage of mitosis, two new nuclei begin to form
telophase
The life cycle of a cell is called the
cell cycle
DNA is the hereditary material that controls all cell activities, including the making of new cells. The DNA of a cell is organized into structures called
chromosomes
Pairs are made up of similar chromosomes are called
homologous chromosomes
In the cytokinesis of plant cells a _________ __________ is formed.
cell plate
The two cells that are formed as a result of mitosis are called
daughter cells
cytokinesis
interphase
telophase
metaphase
anaphase
