A | B |
cell membrane | controls what gets in or out of the cell |
proteins | doorways in the cell membrane that lets larger particles in or out of the cell |
mitosis | the division of cells into two new daughter cells exactly like the mother cell |
meiosis | cell division that produces four new daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the mother cell |
cytokinesis | the splitting of the cytoplasm during the last phase of mitosis |
osmosis | the diffusion of water |
diffusion | the movement of molecules from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration |
passive transport | cell transport that does not require energy |
active transport | cell transport that requires energy |
endocytosis | the taking in of large particles into the cell |
exocytosis | the release of large particles out of the cell |
photosynthesis | the process in which plants make their own food |
respiration | the process in which energy is made from glucose and oxygen |
glucose | the sugar produced by plants during photosynthesis |
carbon dioxide | the gas given off during respiration |
oxygen | by-product of photosynthesis |
chloroplast | where photosynthesis takes place ina plant cell |
chlorophyll | captures the sunlight needed for photosynthesis to occur |
mitochondria | where respiration occurs in all eukaryotic cells |
water | a product of respiration, besides carbon dioxide and ATP |
prokaryotes | bacteria cells |
eukaryotes | plant and animal cells |
binary fission | cell division of bacteria cells |
equilibrium | when molecules are evenly spread out |
consumer | anything that cannot make its own food |
producer | anything that can make its own food |
selectively permeable | only lets some things in and keeps other things out; describes the cell membrane |
products | anything that is listed on the right side of the arrow in a chemical equation |
reactants | anything listed on the left side of the arrow in a chemical equation |
