100
Organelles that contain pigments used in photosynthesis
What are Chromoplasts?
100
The region of a eukaryotic cell that contains the cell's main DNA.
What is the nucleus?
100
This part is responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.
What are the ribosomes?
100
The distinguishing characteristic between a plant cell and an animal cell.
What is a cell wall? (Remember, animal cells do not have cell walls. They only have a semi permeable plasma membrane)
100
What organelle in the cells of a lactose intolerant person does not have what it needs to get its job done?
What is the lysosome? (Remember, the lysosome is where digestion of disaccharides and polysaccharides take place).

What do you get when you drop a pumpkin?
What is a squash?
200
The process of producing more cells
What is reproduction?
200
The cell wall is usually made up of these.
What are cellulose and pectin?
200
What organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell?
What is the mitochondria?
200
The last stage of cellular respiration.
What is electron transport sytem?
200
What are active transport and passive transport?
What are the two ways that substances enter or exit a cell? (Remember, both allow molecules through the plasma membrane, but passive transport uses osmosis or diffusion. Active transport uses the opposit of passive and is aided by a process that requires energy.
200
What kind of pants does a ghost wear?
What are BOO Jeans?
300
Substances in which at least one atom has an imbalance of protons and electrons
What are Ions?
300
Three parts of a cytoskeleton
What are microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules?
300
This type of cell has "extra parts" like leucoplast and a central vacuole
What is an Animal Cell?
300
Water-loving
What is hydrophilic?
300
A scientist observes a cell and watches as it explodes. Was the cell in an isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic solution?
What is a hypotonic solution? (Remember, in hypotonic solutions, the solute concentration is lower in the solution than in the cell. Osmosis will force the water in the solution into the cell, thus building pressure within the cell causing it to explode.)
300
What songs do vampires hate?
What is, "You are my Sunshine!"
400
Energy necessary to get a chemical reaction going
What is Activation energy?
400
It is composed of phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins.
What is the plasma membrane composed of?
400
What organelles do plant cells have that animal cells do not?
What are cell wall,chromoplasts, leucoplasts and central vacuoles? (Remember, animal cells have the lysosome and centrioles, but plants do not)
400
The first stage of cellular respiration
What is glycolysis?
400
After a hard workout, your muscles often ache. One reason is because of lactic acid buildup. Where does the lactic acid come from and why does this occur?
What is lactic acid comes from cellular fermentation. This happens because the O2 demand during hard workouts is more than the blood stream can supply. The cells are faced with anaerobic conditions. They perform glycolysis and then convert the pyruvic acid into lactic acid.
400
Who are Huey, Dewey and Louie?
500
The study of cells
What is cytology?
500
The structure in the cell that looks like a flat stack of pancakes and functions like a mailing center
What is the golgi body?
500
The type of endoplasmic reticulum that is part of protein synthesis.
What is the Rough ER? (Remember, rough ER is dotted with ribosomes while smooth ER has none.)
500
This term means "does NOT need oxygen".
What is anaerobic?
500
What you get when you drop a pumpkin.
What is a squash?
