11) Endocytosis:
process by which a cell surrounds a large particle and brings it into
the cell
2) Interphase: phase during which
chromosomes are copied
3) Chromosome: structure in a
nucleus made of DNA and protein
4) Photosynthesis: process by which
plants, algae, and some bacteria capture energy from the sun to make food
5) Glucose: carbohydrate (sugar)
produced by plants during photosynthesis
6) Active transport: movement of
particles across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy
7) Centromere: region where the
sister chromatids are held together
8) Prophase: phase during which
mitosis begins and the nuclear membrane dissolves
9) Diffusion: movement of
particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density
10)
Telophase:
phase during which nuclear membranes form around the chromosomes and
mitosis is complete
11)
Mitosis:
complicated process of chromosome separation
12) Fermentation: breakdown of food
without the use of oxygen
13)
Exocytosis:
process by which a cell releases a large particle to the outside of the
cell
14)
Metaphase:
phase during which the chromosomes line up at the equator (middle) of
the cell
15)
Osmosis:
diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane
16)
Homologous chromosomes:
chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure
17)
Cellular respiration:
process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food
18) Anaphase: phase during which
the chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell
19)
Cytokinesis:
the division of cytoplasm of a cell
20) Passive transport: movement of
particles across a cell membrane without the use of energy
