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