- chromatids
- These condense into an X-shape before mitosis
- Endocytosis
- How a cell membrane moves large particles into the cell
- diffusion
- The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
- cell cycle
- This process ends when a cell divides and new cells are formed
- homologus chromosomes
- Human body cells have 23 pairs
- active transport
- The movement of particles through proteins against the normal direction of diffusion
- phospholipids
- Oxygen can slip between these molecules, which make up much of the cell membrane.
- centromere
- This is the region where chromatids are held together
- binary fission
- Bacteria double this way
- exocytosis
- This word means "outside the cell"
- osmosis
- Diffusion of water across a membrane
- cellular respiration
- The way organisms get energy from food using oxygen
- mitosis
- The complicated process of chromosome separation: the second stage of the cell cycle
- photosynthesis
- The process by which plants capture light energy and change it into food
- passive transport
- The diffusion of particles through special "doorways" in the cell mambrane
- cytokinesis
- The cytoplasm splits in two during this process
- cell plate
- During the third stage of the cell cycle, this forms in eukaryotic cells with cell walls.
- fermentation
- When there's no oxygen for your cells, they use this to get energy
- proteins
- Special doorways in the cell membrane are made of these.
- Homologous
- Chromosomes with matching information
- Sex Chromosomes
- Carry genes that determine the sex of offspring
- Alleles
- Two genes that carry the same structure
- Genotype
- An organism's inherited combination of alleles
- Mitosis
- Nuclear division in eukaryotic cells in which each cell receives a copy of the original chromosomes
- Heredity
- The passing of traits from parents to offspring
- Meiosis
- Cell division that produces sex cells
- Recessive
- Kind of trait that seemed to vanish in the offspring produced in Mendel's first experiment
