This type of cell is waterproof and makes up the "epidermal" layer.
What are skin cells?
100
This is an environmental factor that causes cancer.
What is a carcinogen?
100
This is the stage of the cell cycle in which the DNA in the cell is divided.
What is mitosis?
100
This a cell that has no nuclear membrane - DNA floats freely around it.
What is a prokaryote?
100
These are 3 examples of anti-carcinogenic foods.
What are carrots, broccoli, garlic, etc.?
200
These types of cells send electrical impulses around your body
What are nerve cells?
200
This a tumor that does not interfere with surrounding cells.
What is a benign tumor?
200
This is the stage of the cell cycle where DNA is copied.
What is interphase?
200
This organelle converts sugar into a usable form of energy.
What is the mitochondria?
200
These help you store energy, but can become unhealthy for you if they are too many.
What are fat cells?
300
These are smooth, bi-concave cells that carry oxygen.
What are red blood cells?
300
This is the process of a secondary tumor being established in the body.
What is metastasis?
300
The stage of mitosis where the centromeres split.
What is anaphase?
300
These are usually significantly bigger in plant cells than animal cells.
What are vacuoles?
300
This is the transport mechanism for moving chemicals into and out of a cell quickly.
What is diffusion?
400
These are made up of fibres and cause bones to move.
What are muscle cells?
400
This test involves a series of X-rays of the body being assembled at different angles.
What is a CT scan?
400
In plant cells, this process involves a plate forming down the middle that eventually becomes a cell wall.
What is cytokinesis?
400
These cells live for a long time, but aren't easy to replace.
What are brain cells?
400
This is the movement of a fluid, usually water, across a membrane toward an area of high solute concentration (solute being a substance dissolved in a fluid).
What is osmosis?
500
This is analogous to being your body's "army".
What are white blood cells?
500
This procedure allows doctors to see in narrow passages with a fibre optic cable
What is an endoscopy?
500
At this stage of mitosis; the nuclear membrane break down and chromosomes unwind into chromatids
What is prophase?
500
These are two things that plant cells have that animal cells don't, and reasons why.
What are a cell wall (provides structure and protection) and chloroplasts (used for photosynthesis, which animals don't do).
