Structure of an Atom
These are often referred to as the building blocks of matter
Atoms
This is the basic structure and functional unit of life
Cells
What is the jelly-like fluid inside of a cell?
Cytoplasm
One of the most important compounds that cells use to store and release energy
ATP
These are the condensed structures containing DNA that are passed from generation to generation
Chromosomes
Atoms are composed of three smaller subatomic particles. What are they?
Proton, Neutron, Electron
Scientists grouped cells into two basic categories. What are they?
Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic
This cell type has no nucleus, smaller in size, and is simpler (Ex: Bacteria)
Prokaryotic
This process describes how plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into food (glucose)
Photosynthesis
What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis: cell divides once; two daughter cells formed
Meiosis: cell divides twice; four daughter cells formed
What are the positively charged particles called?
Proton
All cells have a phospholipid bilayer that controls what goes in and out of the cell. What is it? (Hint: Made of hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails)
Plasma Membrane
This organelle is the centermost part of the cell, is thought of as the "control center" of the cell, and contains all of the cell's DNA.
Nucleus
What are the reactants for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide and Water
This is the first and longest stage of mitosis. This is where the chromosomes condense
Prophase
What are the negatively charged particles called?
Electrons
These type of cells have a nucleus, are larger in size, and are more complex. (Ex: Plants and Animals)
Eukaryotic
This organelle is a folded membrane that makes all proteins for the cell. (Hint: Smooth and Rough)
Endoplasmic Reticulum
What are the products for photosynthesis?
Glucose and Oxygen
After telophase, the cell is not completely divided. What process occurs to cut the cytoplasm and create two separate cells?
Cytokinesis
What particles have no charge?
Neutrons
What are the three principles of the cell theory?
All living organisms are composed of one or more cells
Cells are the basic unit of structure and organization of all living organisms
Cells only come from preexisting cells!
This organelle modifies and packages proteins to send outside of cell.
Golgi Apparatus
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2
What are the five stages of cell division?
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Telophase
