Required

Match each definition with the correct term. Drag and drop the definitions to line up with the terms.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Passive movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane down a concentration gradient		hypotonic
The mitosis stage where the daughter chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the cell and reform the nuclei		active transport
A group of organs that work together to perform a specific task		cell
Tissue that lines internal and external surfaces		cytokinesis
A class of amphipathic lipids having both a polar and non-polar region, they are a major component of all cell membranes as they can form lipid bilayers		endocytosis
A stage of mitosis in which condensed chromosomes align in the middle of the cell		organ system
The energy-requiring movement of substances across a biological membrane against a concentration gradient		phospholipid
Active transport process by which membrane-bound secretory vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane and release the vesicle contents into the external environment		organelle
A stage of mitosis in a eukaryotic cell in which the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and becomes visible		nervous tissue
A membrane that acts selectively to allow some substances, but not others, to pass		prophase
Support tissue that binds other structures together and provides support and protection against damage, infection, or heat loss		epithelial tissue
The passive movement of molecules from high to low concentration		semi-permeable membrane
A structural and functional part of the cell usually bound within its own membrane. An example is the mitochondria		cell differentiation
Solutions of equal solute concentration		interphase
The basic structural, functional, and biological unit of any living organism		organ
A solution with a higher total solute concentration relative to another solution (across a membrane)		metaphase
Structures comprising two or more tissues with related functions		muscle tissue
Tissue responsible for producing both external and internal movement. Types include skeletal, cardiac, and smooth		passive transport
Movement of substances across a biological membrane without energy expenditure		ion pump
Active transport process by which cells take in molecules from outside the cell by engulfing it with their plasma membrane		mitosis
The phase of the cell cycle prior to cell division in which all the DNA in the nucleus is copied		diffusion
An organized structure of DNA and protein found in cells		connective tissue
The phase of a cell cycle resulting in nuclear division		exocytosis
A collection of cells from the same origin, which together carry out a specific function		hypertonic
Process by which a less specialized cell becomes more specialized in order to perform a specific function		osmosis
Tissue that makes up the structures of the nervous system		telophase
A solution with a lower total solute concentration relative to another solution (across a membrane)		chromosome
A transmembrane protein that moves ions across a plasma membrane against their concentration gradient		isotonic
The division of the cytoplasm of a parent eukaryotic cell into two daughter cells during the late stages of mitosis		tissue
