Cell Division
100
These smaller units make up proteins
What are amino acids
100
The main method by which small molecules move across the cell membrane
What is diffusion
100
All living things obtain energy either directly or indirectly from the energy captured from sunlight during this process
What is photosynthesis
100
During this process, cells break down simple food molecules such as sugar and release energy they contain
What is respiration
100
The phase of mitosis during which the chromosomes are located along the "equator" of the cell
What is metaphase
200
Most chemical reactions could not take place without this simple compound
What is water
200
The diffusion of water
What is osmosis
200
The main photosynthetic pigment in chloroplasts
What is chlorophyll
200
The equation for cell respiration
What is C6H12O6 (sugar/glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen --> 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O + energy
200
During ________ the cell grows, makes a copy of its DNA and prepares to divide into 2 new cells
What is interphase
300
The genetic material that carries information about an organism
What is DNA
300
