Flashcards

Cell Theory (3 Postulates)

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

Cell Cycle

The process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells.

Cell Cycle Checkpoints

These are checkpoints during the cell cycle that ensure everything is going according to plan before the cell moves on to the next stage. They can trigger repair mechanisms if something goes wrong.

Cell Specialization/Differentiation

The process by which an unspecialized cell develops into a specialized cell with a specific function.

Refraction of light

The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another, this is caused by a change in the speed of light.

Index of refraction

A value that indicates the speed of light in a particular medium, the higher the refractive index the slower the light travels in that medium.

Partial reflection and refraction

When a ray of light hits a surface at an angle, it splits into two rays: one that is reflected and one that is refracted.

Total internal reflection

The phenomenon where light traveling from a denser medium to a less dense medium is completely reflected back into the denser medium. This occurs when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle.
