Active Transport • Active transport is the movement of molecules against a concentration

gradient. There are different types of active transport that occur inside

the cell such as; exocytosis, pinocytosis, phagocytosis, and facilitated

diffusion. An example of active transport is the Sodium Potassium pump

which pumps potassium into the cell and sodium out of the cell.

Mitosis is the process of organizing and distributing nuclear DNA during cell division

and is a continuous process. (1) page 111

Stages of Mitosis:

1. Interphase

DNA has replicated, but has not

formed the condensed structure

of chromosome. They remain as

loosely coiled chromatin. (2)

2. Prophase

During prophase, the nuclear

envelope falls apart as the paired

chromatids coil up to form dense,

compact chromosomes. Prophase

literally means “before-phase”

(1) page 111

3. Metaphase

The spindle fibres attach

themselves to the

centromeres of the

chromosomes and align the

chromosomes at the

equatorial plate. (2)

4. Anaphase

Anaphase begins as soon as all

the chromosomes have aligned

along the cells equator. During

this phase, the centromere of

each chromosome splits to form

two chromosomes, each

consisting of a single DNA molecule. (1) page 111

5. Telophase

The DNA is returned to its

original form and location within

the cell. (1) page 111

Catabolism Anabolism Enzymes

The break-down of

food compounds or

cytoplasmic

constituents into

simpler compounds;

the opposite of

anabolism

cells making complex

molecules from simpler

compounds for example

making hormones which is

complex from amino acids

which it is simpler

A Biochemical substance

allowing chemical reactions to

take place. A functional

protein that regulates

numerous metabolic

pathways of the body.
