Biology Chapter: Diffusion, Osmosis & Cell Cycle

Movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This can happen in both liquids and gases.

Movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.

The process of cell division in which a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

A type of cell division that results in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

A grouping of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.

The outer layer of a plant, protecting it and controlling interactions with the environment.

Responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant.

All the plant tissues except dermal and vascular tissues, performing various functions like photosynthesis and storage.

The part of the plant that anchors it in the soil and absorbs water and nutrients.

The plant root can also store nutrients for later use.

Specialized plant cells in leaves that contain chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Tiny pores on the leaves of plants that allow for gas exchange, taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.

The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar) for energy and oxygen as a byproduct.

A specialized type of plant tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant.

A type of plant tissue that transports sugary sap, produced during photosynthesis, from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

The process where your body takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It's how your cells get the energy they need.

The mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus all work together to break down food into nutrients your body can use.

The liver helps clean your blood and process the nutrients you get from food. It's a vital organ that helps keep your body healthy.

The heart is a powerful muscle that pumps blood throughout your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to every cell.

The lungs are responsible for taking in oxygen from the air you breathe and releasing carbon dioxide back into the air.

The theory that all living things are composed of one or more cells, cells are the basic unit of life and all cells come from pre-existing cells.

Cells without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

Cells with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

A rigid outer layer found in plant cells made of cellulose. It provides structural support and protection.

Organelles found in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Large fluid-filled sacs in plant cells that store water, nutrients, and waste products.

The process of making new organisms from a single parent. Offspring are identical to the parent.

The process of making new organisms from two parents. Offspring inherit genes from both parents.
