Photosynthesis
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
The energy currency of the cell, used to perform work.
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)
Thread-like structures located within the nucleus of animal and plant cells, made of protein and a single molecule of DNA.
Chromosomes
Key players in active transport include protein pumps, which are special proteins in the cell membrane. One well-known example of active transport is the what which helps nerve cells function.
sodium-potassium pump
Glucose, which has the chemical formula of _______, is one of the most important sugars in photosynthesis.
C6H12O6
The organelle where cellular respiration happens.
Mitochondria
Phase 1 in mitosis- The chromosomes condense, becoming visible under a microscope. The nuclear envelope breaks down, and the spindle fibers begin to form.
Prophase
Passive transport occurs along the concentration gradient (___ to ___)
(high to low)
These are products of photosynthesis and the reactants in cellular respiration.
Glucose and Oxegen
The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
Cellular respiration
Phase 4 in mitosis- The chromosomes arrive at the poles of the cell and begin to decondense. The nuclear envelope starts to re-form around each set of chromosomes.
Telophase
Active transport moves substances against the gradient (___ to ___).
(low to high)
Chloroplasts, the green organelles in plant cells, use what to absorb sunlight?
Chlorophyll
Nutrient category including sugars and starches, which is a major energy source.
Carbohydrates
Phase 2 in mitosis- The chromosomes align at the cell's equator, and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes.
Metaphase
A type of diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis
