DNA
100
What is the control center of the cell?
What is the nucleus.
100
The movement of water across a membrane.
What is osmosis?
100
The four states of cell cycle.
What are G1, S, G2, mitosis (or M)
100
The process where plants convert CO2, water and sunlight into O2 and glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
100
The complementary base pair of G.
What is Cytosine (C)?
200
The organelle that provides the cell with energy through cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria.
200
Maintaining a balance within a cell or within your body.
What is homeostasis?
200
The stage of the cell cycle where DNA is copied in preparation for mitosis.
What is the S phase?
200
The process performed by the mitochondria that breaks down food and gives off CO2 as a byproduct.
What is cellular respiration?
200
The complementary base for A in RNA.
What is Uracil (U)?
300
Two cell organelles only found in plant cells, not in animal cells.
What is the cell wall and chloroplasts.
300
A layer made of two layers of lipids and proteins that regulate cell homeostasis by allowing molecules enter and leave a cell.
What is the plasma membrane? (Double points for phospholipid bilayer.)
300
The stage of mitosis where the chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell plate before being pulled apart by the spindle fibers.
What is metaphase?
300
The number of ATP produced in aerobic respiration.
What is 36?
300
Why is DNA transcribed into RNA before protein synthesis?
Because DNA is too big to leave the nucleus. RNA is single stranded and shorter, so it can leave the nucleus and go to the ribosome.
400
A macromolecule that provides your body with directions and hereditary information.
What is nucleic acid? (half credit to those who guessed DNA or RNA)
400
If the salt concentration in a cell is 35% and the concentration outside of the cell is 45%, which direction with the water move?
Into the cell.
400
The process where the cell membrane pinches off to form two new fully formed cells.
What is cytokinesis? (Half-credit for Telophase)
400
Proteins are synthesized here.
What is the ribosome?
400
What are two characteristics of DNA?
Double-stranded, Base pairs: C, G, A, T, double-helix, laddar-shaped, made of nucleotides, etc.
500
A macromolecule that provides the body with a fast and easy source of energy.
What is a carbohydrate?
500
If the concentration of a solute is 55% outside of the cell and 35% inside of a cell. Which way will the substance move by active transport?
Inside the cell.
500
The process where a single-celled organism grows and divides into two identical organisms.
What is binary fission?
500
A catalyst of biological or chemical reactions that affect the rate of those reactions. They typically denature in extreme temperatures.
What are enzymes?
500
The sugar that makes up DNA.
What is deoxyribose?
