Active transport
Movement of molecules against their concentration gradient
Cell cycle
The process of cell growth and division
Concentration gradient
Difference in concentration between two regions
Differentiation
Conversion of cell from unspecialised to specialised
Diffusion
Net movement of particles from a place where there is a high concentration, to one where there is a low concentration
DNA replication
Process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules
Meristems
Growing region of a plant
Mitosis
Process by which body cells divide
Osmosis
Diffusion of water molecules from region of high water potential to low water potential through a selectively permeable membrane
Mitosis
Process by which body cells divide
Osmosis
Diffusion of water molecules from region of high water potential to low water potential through a selectively permeable membrane
Specialised
A cell that is adapted to perform a particular function is called a specialised cell
Stem cell
Undifferentiated cell
Water potential
Concentration of free water molecules
