Magnification | The number of times greater an image is than the object. |
Resolution | The ability to distinguish two separate points that are distinct from each other. |
Ultra-structure (or Fine Structure) | Detailed structure of the internal components of cells as revealed by the electron microscope, rather than the light microscope. |
Mitosis | Nuclear division that results in the formation of two cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. |
Meiosis | Nuclear division that results in the formation of four cells that each contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (haploid). |
Chromosome | A linear DNA molecule wrapped around histone proteins, found in the nucleus. |
Gene | A short sequence of DNA that carries the code for the synthesis of one specific polypeptide (protein). |
DNA | Deoxyribonucleic Acid- a polymer of nucleotide molecules that form the instructions for the synthesis of proteins found within organisms. |
Mitochondria | A membrane bound organelle responsible for the generation of ATP molecules by aerobic respiration. |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | A membrane bound organelle covered with ribosomes- the site of protein synthesis. |
Flagella | Protein based structure that extends from the membrane and is involved in moving the cell itself through a medium. |
Prokaryotic Organism | A single celled organism that does not contain a true nucleus. |
Eukaryotic Organism | An organism consisting of cells that contain a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles. |
Hydrophilic | Associates with water molecules easily. |
Hydrophobic | Water repelling molecule. |
Channel Protein | A protein pore that spans the membrane, through which very small ions and water soluble molecules may pass. |
Diffusion | The net movement of molecules or ions in a gas or liquid from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. |
Osmosis | The movement of water molecules from a region of high water potential to a region of lower water potential across a partially permeable membrane. |
Active Transport | The movement of substances across membranes against a concentration gradient that requires the use of energy in the form of ATP via transport proteins. |
Facilitated Diffusion | The passive movement of molecules down a concentration gradient, aided by transport proteins. |
Enzymes | A globular protein molecule with 3D structure that acts as a biological catalyst. |
Molecular Shape | The particular shape of a molecule. |
Complementary Shape | When two molecules have (matching) shapes which allow them to bind together (Lock and Key). |
Target Cell | A cell with specific receptors on the cell surface membrane which can receive a signal molecule (like a hormone). |
Endocytosis | The process of taking materials into the cell by surrounding them with part of the plasma membrane, which then pinches off to form a vesicle inside the cell. This is an active process requiring ATP. |
Exocytosis | The process of removing materials from a cell by fusing vesicles with the plasma membrane. This is an active process requiring ATP. |
Phagocytosis | Endocytosis of large solid materials such as microorganisms or cell fragments. |
Zygote | Diploid cell made from the fusion of male and female gametes. |
Differentiation | The development and changes seen in cells as they mature to form a specialised cells. |
A tissue | A similar group of cells that perform a particular function. |
Organ | A collection of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or a set of functions. |
Metabolism | All the chemical reactions that take place in the cells of an organism. |
Plasma/Cell Surface Membrane | The outside surface of a organism or cell. |
Surfactant | A chemical that can reduce the surface tension of a film of water. |
Smooth Muscle | A type of muscle (involuntary muscle) found mostly in certain internal organs and involved in involuntary movements such as peristalsis. |
Elastic | Ability to stretch and recoil. |
Intercostal Muscle | Muscles between the ribs responsible for moving the ribcage during breathing. |
Double Circulatory System | Transport system in which blood travels twice through the heart for each complete circulation of the body. |
Respiration | The process in which energy is released from complex molecules (such as glucose) within a cell and transferred to molecules of ATP. |
Atrium | One of the upper chambers of the heart. |
Ventricle | The lower chambers in the heart. |
Coronary Arteries | Arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle. |
Hydrostatic Pressure | The pressure created by a fluid pushing against the sides of a container. |
Diastole | The period when the heart muscles in the ventricles are relaxing and blood pressure is at its lowest. |
Systole | The stage in the heart cycle when heart muscles contract to pump blood. |
Sinoatrial Node (SAN) | A region in the right atrium from which the wave of excitation is initiated. |
Staining | The use of chemical or computer imaging to provide contrast between different parts of a cell for identification. |
