The document discusses various types of active transport that occur within cells, including exocytosis, pinocytosis, phagocytosis, and facilitated diffusion. It provides the example of the sodium-potassium pump, which pumps potassium into the cell and sodium out. Readers are then challenged to a word search puzzle finding terms related to active transport.

2. Active Transport
• Active transport is the movement of molecules against a concentration
gradient. There are different types of active transport that occur inside
the cell such as; exocytosis, pinocytosis, phagocytosis, and facilitated
diffusion. An example of active transport is the Sodium Potassium pump
which pumps potassium into the cell and sodium out of the cell.

5. Mitosis is the process of organizing and distributing nuclear DNA during cell division
and is a continuous process. (1) page 111
Stages of Mitosis:
1. Interphase
DNA has replicated, but has not
formed the condensed structure
of chromosome. They remain as
loosely coiled chromatin. (2)

2. Prophase
During prophase, the nuclear
envelope falls apart as the paired
chromatids coil up to form dense,
compact chromosomes. Prophase
literally means “before-phase”
(1) page 111

3. Metaphase
The spindle fibres attach
themselves to the
centromeres of the
chromosomes and align the
chromosomes at the
equatorial plate. (2)

6. 4. Anaphase
Anaphase begins as soon as all
the chromosomes have aligned
along the cells equator. During
this phase, the centromere of
each chromosome splits to form

two chromosomes, each
consisting of a single DNA molecule. (1) page 111
5. Telophase
The DNA is returned to its
original form and location within
the cell. (1) page 111

7. Catabolism Anabolism Enzymes
The break-down of
cells making complex
food compounds or
molecules from simpler
cytoplasmic
compounds for example
constituents into
making hormones which is
simpler compounds;
complex from amino acids
the opposite of
which it is simpler
anabolism
A Biochemical substance
allowing chemical reactions to
take place. A functional
protein that regulates
numerous metabolic
pathways of the body.
