Hypertonic
Solution that causes cells to shrink
(Crenation)
-
Isotonic
Concentration of solutes on both sides of the cell membrane
-
DNA and RNA
Nucleic Acids
DNA carries out genetic codes
Blueprint for protiens in a cell
-
Interphase
Cells "getting ready" to divide
DNA "unzips"
Results in two identical chromosomes
RNA leaves nucleus and enters sytoplasm

P/M/A/T
Stages of Mitosis
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
-
Parent Cell
Cells that divide
-
Daughter Cell
Result of cell division
-
Prophase
Duplicated chromosomes are scattered
Stage 1 of 4
-
Metaphase
Chromosomes are aligned at the equator of the new spindle
Stage 2 of 4
-
Anaphase
Daughter chromosomes are moved to the poles
Stage 3 of 4
-
Telophase
Daughter nuclei are formed and the spindle disappears
Stage 4 of 4
-
Mitosis
"Regular" cell division
Growth and repair
-
Meiosis
"Sex" cell division
- Sperm and Ova are produced
- Mitosis is repeated twice
- Each will only have 23 chromosomes
- 46 when sperm and ova join
-

aka. Polysomes
-
Cellular Respiration
Oxygen is used and Carbon Dioxide is given off by mitochondria as it converts carbohydrates energy into ATP molecules
-
Tay-Sachs
Metabolic disorder involving a missing or inactive lysosomal enzyme in nerve cells
Lysosomes fill with macromolecules that cannot be digested
Nerve cells becomes so full that the child usually dies
