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