What is the cell membrane entraps the material and forms a vacuole around it to contain it inside the cell?
endocytosis
What is a stage of mitosis or meiosis in which the chromosomes move from the center toward the opposite ends of a dividing cell?
anaphase
What is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information?
meiosis
What is the first step in cell division where the cell gets ready to split, and the DNA inside condenses (becomes thicker) and becomes visible as chromosomes?
prophase
What is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions?
cellular respiration
What is the movement of particles from where there are more to where there are less?
diffusion
What is the process in which green plants use sunlight to make their own food?
photosynthesis
What is the process by which a cell discharges material by enclosing it in a vesicle which fuses with the cell membrane?
exocytosis
What are the cells that have not differentiated, or become specialized?
stem cell
What is the process of cell division, during which one cell gives rise to two identical daughter cells?
mitosis
What is a stage during the process of cell division (mitosis or meiosis)?
metaphase
What is is the final step of cell division (mitosis or meiosis) where the cell prepares to split into two, with a new nucleus forming around each set of chromosomes?
telophase
What is is when molecules move across a cell membrane from a lower concentration to a higher concentration?
active transport
What carries the information that determines your traits?
gene
What is water moving from a place with lots of water to a place with less water, through a special wall (like a cell wall)?
osmosis
