Anatomy Cellular Function

Active Transport

• When proteins in the cell membrane move a molecule from an area of low concentration into an area of high concentration. Active transport requires energy.

• When proteins in the cell membrane move a molecule from an area of high concentration into an area of low concentration. Facilitated transport does not require energy

• The movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of less concentration until they are equally distributed.

• The process of a cell preparing for division by growing larger and making all the necessary materials.

Anaphase

• The phase in cell division when the chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite sides of the spindle.

• The final phase of cell division, resulting in the completion of two new cells.

• The process of a cell preparing for division by growing larger and making all the necessary materials.

• The phase in cell division in which the chromosomes are arranged along the middle of the cell.

Cell Division

• The biological process of cells dividing into two or more cells.

• The exchange or swapping of chromosomes due to overlapping pieces during meiosis.

• The process of a cell preparing for division by growing larger and making all the necessary materials.

• The phase of mitosis following prophase and preceding metaphase

Cells

• The basic unit of life making up all living things.

• Short, hair-like appendages on the interior of a cell that move liquid and materials.

• The shrinking of a cell.

• The more influential gene in one’s genetics.

Centrioles

• Tubular structures that occur in pairs. These are important for cells to divide and make new cells.

• The genetic material that makes up chromosomes.

• Individual components of a cell that perform a variety of functions and operate like microscopic organs in performing a variety of functions to keep the cell healthy.

• A group of four chromatids that compose chromosomes during meiosis.

Chromatin

• The genetic material that makes up chromosomes

• The arrangement of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most cells which carries genetic information in the form of genes.

• Deoxyribonucleic acid. It contains the genetic make-up of a cell and blueprint for creating new cells.

• A mature human haploid cell that can un

Chromosomes

• The arrangement of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most cells which carries genetic information in the form of genes.

• The genetic material that makes up chromosomes.

• Deoxyribonucleic acid. It contains the genetic make-up of a cell and blueprint for creating new cells.

• A set of four cells at the end of meiosis II, each with only half of the chromosomes that humans have (23 chromosomes).

Cilia

• Short, hair-like appendages on the interior of a cell that move liquid and materials.

• Long, hair-like appendages on the interior of the cell that move liquid and materials.

• Organelles with a single membrane that act as storage containers

• The process in which ova are produced in the female ovaries.

Crenate

• The shrinking of a cell.

• The exchange or swapping of chromosomes due to overlapping pieces during meiosis.

• The biological process of cells dividing into two or more cells.

• A set of two new cells in meiosis that have the complete 46 chromosomes (23 pairs of chromosomes) that humans have.

Crossing Over

• The exchange or swapping of chromosomes due to overlapping pieces during meiosis.

• The final phase of cell division, resulting in the completion of two new cells.

• When a membrane-bound vesicle within a cell fuses with the plasma membrane to empty its contents to the outside of the cell.

• An equal balance of dissolved solids (solutes) and water (solvent) on both sides of a cell membrane.
