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