| 2642866919 | Endocytosis | the plasma membrane "traps" some extracellular material and brings it into the cell in a vesicle | 0 | |
| 2642875640 | Phagocytosis | large particles are engulfed by the plasma membrane and enter the cell in vesicles; the vesicles fuse with lysosomes, which digest the particles | 1 | |
| 2642878980 | Receptor-mediated endocytosis | membrane receptor molecules recognize substances to be brought into the cell | 2 | |
| 2642894361 | Exocytosis | 3 | ||
| 2642907425 | Vesicle-mediated (endocytosis, exocytosis) | move large volumes of substances at once, such as in secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters | 4 | |
| 2642911934 | Catabolism | breaks large molecules into smaller ones; usually releases energy | 5 | |
| 2642913306 | Anabolism | builds large molecules from smaller ones; usually consumes energy | 6 | |
| 2642932066 | Enzymes | Enzymes are chemical catalysts that reduce the activation energy needed for a reaction - Enzymes regulate cell metabolism - end with "ase" | 7 | |
| 2642953708 | Structure of Enzymes | - Proteins of a complex shape - Substrate molecule—the lock-and-key model | 8 | |
| 2643073488 | Functions of Enzymes | Enzymes regulate cell functions by regulating metabolic pathways - Enzymes are specific in their actions | 9 | |
| 2643082370 | allosteric effectors | affect enzyme action by changing the shape of the enzyme molecule | 10 | |
| 2643257827 | What can change a protein/ enzyme | - Temperature - PH level - Ionizing radiation - Cofactors - | 11 | |
| 2643298523 | Cellular respiration | the pathway by which glucose is broken down to yield its stored energy - Glycolysis - break down glucose - Citric acid cycle - KREBS cycle - Electron transport system | 12 | |
| 2643341679 | Glycolysis | Pathway in which glucose is broken apart into two pyruvic acid molecules to yield a small amount of energy (which is transferred to adenosine triphosphate [ATP] and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide [NADH]) - Anaerobic | 13 | |
| 2643357288 | Citric acid cycle | 14 | ||
| 2643426732 | Deoxyribonucleic acid | A double-helix polymer. Functions to transfer information, encoded in genes, to direct the synthesis of proteins | 15 | |
| 2643429582 | Gene | a segment of a DNA molecule that consists of approximately 1000 pairs of nucleotides and contains the code for synthesizing one RNA molecule, which then may be translated into one polypeptide | 16 | |
| 2643431022 | Ribonucleic acid | rRNA and tRNA, which are copies of a DNA gene but regulate processes rather than code for a polypeptide | 17 | |
| 2643512710 | Non-coding | Introns | 18 | |
| 2643512735 | Coding | exons | 19 | |
| 2643514803 | Spliceosomes | ribosome-sized structures in the nucleus that splice mRNA transcripts | 20 | |
| 2643520190 | Chaperone Molecules | Found in the cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus help polypeptides fold and then possibly combine into larger protein molecules or hybrid molecules | 21 | |
| 2643542307 | Proteome | All the proteins synthesized by a cell make up the cell's proteome | 22 | |
| 2643546118 | Cell growth | depends on using genetic information in DNA to make the structural and functional proteins needed for cell survival. a newly formed cell produces a variety of molecules and other structures necessary for growth by using the information contained in the genes of DNA molecules | 23 | |
| 2643549903 | Cell reproduction | ensures that genetic information is passed from one generation to the next cells reproduce by splitting themselves into two smaller daughter cells | 24 | |
| 2642875641 | Pinocytosis | fluid and the substances dissolved in it enter the cell | 25 | |
| 2646778092 | What is Interphase? | The growth phase. Not a part of Mitosis | 26 | |
| 2646782881 | What is the first stage of Mitosis? | Prophase | 27 | |
| 2646783762 | What is the second stage of Mitosis? | Metaphase | 28 | |
| 2646784176 | What is the third stage of Mitosis? | Anaphase | 29 | |
| 2646785108 | What is the fourth stage of Mitosis? | Telophase | 30 | |
| 2646789366 | DNA replication | Replication of the genome prepares the cell for reproduction; the mechanics are similar to RNA synthesis | 31 | |
| 2646820900 | Cyclin-dependent kinases | activating enzymes that drive the cell through the phases of its life cycle | 32 | |
| 2646899621 | Cyclins | regulatory proteins that control the CDKs and "shift" them to start the next phase | 33 |
