Hypertonic Solution
|
A greater concentration of solutes lies outside the membrane. Water is drawn out of the cell by osmosis
|
|
Hypotonic Solution
|
a solution that contains less solute (more water) compared to the cytoplasm of the cell. osmosis causes water to have a net flow into the cell, thus, resulting in the swelling and expansion of the cell
|
|
Isotonic Solution
|
One that has the same salt concentration as cells and blood. Solutions that have same tonicity will result in no net flow of water across the cell membrane.

Stages of Mitosis
|
|
Fermentation
|
The anaerobic breakdown of sugar into alcohol
|
|
Photosynthesis
|
The synthesis of complex organic material using carbon dioxide, water, inorganic salts, and light energy (from sunlight) captured by light-absorbing pigments, such as chlorophyll and other accessory pigments.
|
|
Metabolism
|
The process involving a set of chemical reactions that modifies a molecule into another for storage, or for immediate use in another reaction or as a by product.
|
|
Diffusion
|
a type of passive transport, therefore, it is a net movement of molecules in and out of the cell across the cell membrane along a concentration gradient.

|
alveoli
|

|
the process of making a copy of genetic information stored in a DNA strand into a complementary strand of RNA (messenger RNA or mRNA) with the aid of RNA polymerases.

Skeletal
|
The organ system primarily responsible for storing a variety of minerals and releasing them into the bloodstream as needed
|
|
The right atrium receives the "used" or deoxygenated, blood from the body and pumps it in to the right ventricle, from which it moves through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Once it is oxygenated, it returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins through the left atrium, to the left ventricle and out through the aorta to the rest of the body.
