Allotropy

Explanation:

Allotropy is existence of a chemical element in two or more different states. When an element exists in more than one physical state, they are said to be allotropes.

Many different substances exhibits allotropy and it largely impacts their physical state.

Carbon has two main allotropes; graphite and diamond. Graphite is a soft substance and can easily be broken. Diamond is the hardest natural substance that is known.

  • A sulfur with a glassy luster and another with a dull earthy luster signifies two sulfur allotropes.

What is mitosis?

a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

What is mitosis in plants?

Mitosis is a carefully controlled process that organizes and. separates the chromosomes correctly. After the cells separate the chromosomes and build new nuclei, they divide their cytoplasm by cytokinesis and form two distinct cells.

hammer [34]

cell- the basic unit of structure and function of all living things

microscope -an instrument that makes small objects larger

cell theory- a widely accepted explanation of the relationship between cells and all living things

organelle- a tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell

cell wall -a rigid layer of nonliving material that surounds the cells of plants and some other organisms

cell membrane- a cell structure that controls which materials go into or out of the cell

nucleus- a cell structure that contains nucleic acids, the chemical instruction's that direct all the cell's activities

cytoplasm -the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus; in organisms without a nucleus, the region located inside the cell membrane

mitochondria rod-shaped cell structures that convert energy in food molecules to energy that the cell can use to carry out its functions

endoplasmic reticulum- a cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which the proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another

ribosome- a small grain-like structure in the cytoplasm of the cell where proteins are made

Golgi body -a structure in the cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from teh endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of teh cell

chloroplast- a structure in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food

vacuole a sac inside a cell that acts as a storage area

lysosome- a small, round cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones

element- any substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances

compound -two or more elements that are chemically combined

carbohydrate- energy-rich organic compound, such as a sugar or a starch, that is made of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen

protein- large organic molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur

amino acid -a small molecule that is linked chemically to other amino acids to form proteins

enzyme- a type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions in living things

lipid- energy-rich organic compound, such as a fat, oil, or wax, that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen

nucleic acid -very large organic molecule made of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and phosphorus, that contains the instructions cells need to carry out all the functions of life

DNA- the genetic material that carries information about an organism and is passed from parent to offspring

RNA- a nucleic acid that plays an important role in the production of proteins

selectively permeable- a property of a cell membrane that allows some substances to pass through, while others cannot

diffusion -the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

osmosis -the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane

passive transport- the movement of materials through a cell membrane without using energy

active transport -the movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy
