Question 48 What is a solute and solvent?
A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute.

Question 49 Salt is dissolved in water. Which is the solvent and which is the solute? Water is the solvent ; salt is the solute.

Question 50 What does hypertonic mean?
Hypertonic refers to a solution that contains a higher concentration of solute than another. Hyper = more

Question 51 What does hypotonic mean?
Hypotonic refers to a solution that contains a lower concentration of solute than another. Hypo = less

Question 56 What is the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration called? Diffusion

Question 57 What is a concentration gradient?
A difference in concentration over a distance

Question 58 Sketch a concentration gradient.

Question 59 What is the diffusion of water across a membrane called?
Osmosis

Question 60 How do most molecules enter and exit cells?
Diffusion and Osmosis

Question 61 When can you see evidence of molecules moving across cell membranes? If there is a concentration gradient, then molecules will move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. You will see the cell membrane shrink or grow.

Question 62 Is the solution hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic (compared to the cell)? Hypotonic (the solution has a LOWER concentration of solute than the cell.

Question 63 Which way will water move?
Into the cell because the concentration of water is higher outside the cell.

Question 64 Is the solution hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic (compared to the cell)? Hypertonic (the solution contains a HIGHER concentration of solute than the cell).

Out of the cell because the concentration of water is higher in the cell.

Question 66 Is the solution hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic (compared to the cell)? Isotonic (the solution contains an equal concentration of solute to the cell).

Water will move in and out at equal rates

Question 68 What is passive transport?
Passive transport is the movement of molecules across membranes in such a way that does not require energy.

Question 69 What are some examples of passive transport? Diffusion
Osmosis Facilitated diffusion

Question 70 What is facilitated diffusion?
Diffusion of a substance across a membrane using a transport protein

Question 71 What is active transport?
Cells use energy to move substances across a membrane against their concentration gradient.

Question 72 What type of transport would Oxygen use to into or out of a cell? Diffusion – no energy required because it is moving down its concentration gradient. Oxygen is small enough to move directly through the cell membrane.

Question 73 What type of transport would Water use to into or out of a cell? Osmosis – the diffusion of water is called osmosis. No energy required because it is moving down its concentration gradient.

Question 74 What type of transport would Glucose use to into or out of a cell? Facilitated diffusion – glucose is too big to pass directly through the cell membrane so a transport protein is required. No energy required because it is moving down its concentration gradient.

Question 75 What type of transport would Sodium ions use to into or out of a cell? Active transport – ions need to move through a special transport protein called a pump because of their charge. Energy is required because the ions are moving against their concentration gradient.

Question 76 What life of a cell from it’s “birth” to the time it divides is called __________? The Cell Cycle

Question 77 What are the two main stages of the Cell Cycle?
Interphase and Mitosis

Question 78 Why is mitosis important for organisms? Growth
Repair and replacement of old/damaged cells differentiation

Question 79 How do organisms grow?
Through an increase in the number of cells. Mitosis is the process that increases the number of cells.

Question 80 Why can’t cells grow to be too large?
Because diffusion and osmosis take time which means that cells need to be small enough to get the nutrients they need in a timely fashion.

Question 81 What are the stages of the Cell Cycle?
IPMAT – Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Question 82 What is the longest phase of the cell cycle? Interphase

Question 83 How many daughter cells are created in Mitosis (from one parent cell)? Two

Question 84 How does the DNA of the daughter cells compare to the DNA of the parent cell? The DNA is identical in the parent cell and the two daughter cells. Mitosis makes sure that each daughter cell gets the exact same copy of all DNA.

Question 85 When is DNA duplicated? Interphase

Question 86 Why does DNA need to be duplicated?
So that there is enough DNA to give a copy to each daughter cell.

Question 87 In animal cells, which organelle begins the process of Mitosis? Centrioles

Question 88 In animal cells, which organelle begins the process of Mitosis? Centrioles

Question 89 What happens during Prophase?
DNA condenses into chromosomes (made up of sister chromatids) Nuclear membrane breaks up Centrioles move to opposite sides of cell.

Question 90 What happens during Metaphase?
Chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell

Question 91 What happens during Anaphase?
Sister chromatids separate from each other Spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell.

Question 92 What happens during Telophase?
Chromosomes unwind (back into chromatin) Two nuclear membranes are formed (around each set of genetic material) Cell membrane begins to pinch together in the middle (animal cells)

Question 93 What is Cytokinesis?
When the single cell that has gone through Mitosis is divided into two daughter cells.

Question 94 What phase is this?
Prophase – because you can see the chromosomes, and they are randomly scattered in the nucleus.

Metaphase – because you can see the chromosomes lined up along the middle.

Anaphase – because you can see the sister chromatids being pulled to opposite sides of the cell.

Telophase – because you can see two nuclei in the cell.

Interphase – because you can only see the nucleus, but no chromosomes can be seen yet.

Question 99 What is the process by which new cells specialize and become different in appearance and function from their parent cells? Differentiation

Question 100 How does differentiation happen?
Chemical signals cause different cells to use different parts of their genetic information. Remember that each and every cell in an organism has the same exact set of genetic information. The cell only uses the information that it needs for its function.

Question 101 How is mitosis different in plant and animal cells?
Animal cells have centrioles, which start the process of mitosis. Plant cells don’t have centrioles. Cytokinesis is different in plant and animal cells.
