Mitosis, Yourtosis
The phase of mitosis when sister chromatids are pulled apart
What is anaphase?
This organism lacks a nuclear membrane around its DNA
What is a bacterium?
The reactants required for photosynthesis to occur
What are carbon dioxide and water?
The reactants needed for cellular respiration
What are oxygen and glucose?
The bead on the yarn chromosome
What is a centromere?
An x-shaped chromosome is made up of two of these identical components
What are sister chromatids?
While able to wreak havoc on biological organisms, this microorganism isn't actually considered living.
What is a virus?
The products of photosynthesis
What are glucose and oxygen?
The usable form of energy produced through a complex set of processes that break down sugars
What is ATP?
The barn doors of the leaf
What are stomata/stoma?
The phase of mitosis when the cytoplasm divides, completing cell division into two identical daughter cells
What is cytokinesis?
This organism can be found on rotting logs, moldy bread, your gut, and even in the air you breathe
What is a fungus?
A 6-carbon molecule that serves as fuel for living organisms
What is glucose?
The organelle where cellular respiration happens
What is the mitochondrion?
The inner tube-like cell that pumps in salts (solutes) to inflate itself
What is a guard cell?
The number of unique chromosomes in human beings (who have 23 homologous pairs)
What is 46?
A whip-like hair that helps some protozoa move through the water
What is a flagellum?
These awkwardly-shaped cells don't line up next to one another, creating air spaces between themselves
What are spongy mesophyll cells?
The number of membranes in a mitochondrion
What is two?
The rubber band gun, in wound up form
What is ATP?
The ploidy status of any cell with DNA copies from both Mom and Dad
What is diploid?
Lacking the skills to make its own proteins, this organism hijacks the protein-making factories of other microorganisms, inserting its own DNA for replication
What is a virus?
The green pigment in the thylakoids of the chloroplast that absorb energy from the sun
What is chlorophyll?
The enzyme that synthesizes ATP during cellular respiration
What is ATP synthase?
The fishing line cast from the dock during metaphase
What is a spindle fiber?
