Cell transport vocabulary

AB
DiffusionMovement of particles from high concentration to low concentration
OsmosisMovement of water across the cell membrane from high concentration to low concentration
EquilibriumThe point when all particles are evenly distributed
Passive Transportthe movement of substances across a cell membrane without using energy
Active Transportthe movement of substances across a cell membrane using energy
Endocytosisthe process by which the cell membrane surrounds a particle to bring it into the cell
Exocytosisthe process by which the cell membrane surrounds a particle to bring it out of the cell
Vesiclesac formed by the cell membrane to encase a particle
Photosynthesisthe process by which plants use sunlight to make food
PhotosynthesisCarbon Dioxide + Water + Light= Glucose + Oxygen
Cellular RespirationThe process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food
Cellular RespirationOxygen + Glucose (food) = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
FermentationBreakdown of food without the use of oxygen
ChloroplastThe organelle in a plant cell responsible for photosynthesis
MitochondriaThe organelle in a cell responsible for cellular respiration
Cell CycleThe life cycle of a cell- 5 steps
ChromosomeStructures in nucleus made of DNA
Homologous ChromosomesChromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and same structure- one from each parent
MitosisProcess of cell division that forms two new nucleus , each identical to the original cell
Cytokinesisdivision of the cytoplasm
InterphaseCell grows and makes copies of organelles and chromosomes
ProphaseNuclear membrane dissolves, chromosomes shorten and thicken
Metaphasechromosomes line up at the equator and homologous chromosomes pair up
AnaphaseChromatids separate and move to opposite poles
TelophaseNuclear membrane reforms, chromosomes unwind
CytokinesisCell pinches into two, in plants a cell plate forms
