Organelles (animal and plant)
This organelle controls all the other organelles in the cell.
Nucleus
How many total chromosomes do we have in a human body cell?
46 chromosomes
What is the 2nd phase of MITOSIS
metaphase
The cell cycle results in two genetically _____________ cells.
Identical
Unspecialized cells that can develop into specialized cells depending on which genes are activated in their DNA
Stem cells
This organelle is usually found attached to the nucleus and is the site of protein synthesis.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
A specific segment of DNA that contains instructions to build proteins and determine traits.
Gene
These form during prophase when chromatin condenses.
Chromosomes
Any change in the order of base pairs in DNA caused by physical damange or environmental factors.
Mutation
The blood cells have a concave indent and contain hemoglobin to carry oxygen throughout the body.
Red Blood Cells
This organelle contains enzymes that are used to break down waste and other items the cell no longer needs.
Lysosomes
The structural backbone of the DNA strand is composed of 2 alternating components.
Sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate
What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?
Interphase
What happens to a cell when stop signals or checkpoints are completely ignored?
Cells continue to divide uncontrollably and continuously enters the mitosis phase of the cell cycle.
Name the 4 primary types of tissues found in human bodies.
Epithelial, Connective Muscular, Nervous
Animal cells, and not plant cells, contain ___________, which aid in cellular division.
Centrioles
What is the full name for the 4 nitrogenous base pairs found in DNA, and state which ones bond (pair) together.
Adenine and Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine
In this phase, a new nuclear envelope appears.
Telophase
The programmed, internal process of cell death used by healthy cells to maintain balance.
Apoptosis
White Blood Cells
If you were to compare a cell to a city, what organelle would be the transport company?
Golgi apparatus
What is the specific scientific name for the SHAPE of DNA?
Double helix
In an animal cell, a cleavage furrow forms to pinch the cell membrane, which leads to the separation of the cells. In a plant cells, a cell plate forms between the two cells to leads to the creation of two separate, individual cells.
The process in which cancer cells release chemical signals to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels to supply nutrients.
Angiogenesis
Distinguish between cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle tissue based on whether their movement is voluntary or involuntary.
Skeletal muscle is voluntary, while cardiac and smooth muscle are involuntary.
