What is the term for the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms?
What is a cell
Name the phase of the cell cycle during which the cell divides to produce two daughter cells.
What is Mitosis
What is the name for viruses that infect bacteria?
What is a Bacteriophages
What is the term for the process by which cells regulate their internal environment to maintain stability and function?
What is Homeostasis
Name the process by which individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to changes in the population over time.
What is Natural Selection
Which organelle is responsible for generating energy in eukaryotic cells?
What is Mitochondria
Name the phase of mitosis during which sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell.
What is Anaphase
Name the viral reproductive cycle during which the host cell bursts open to release new virus particles.
What is the Lytic cycle
What is the name of the process by which cells break down glucose to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen?
What is Anaerobic respiration (or fermentation)
What is the term for the process by which species evolve from pre-existing species over time?
What is Evolution
What is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll?
What is Photosynthesis
Which type of cellular transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient?
What is Active Transport
What is the term for the physical appearance of an organism as determined by its genetic makeup?
What is phenotype?
What is the term for an organism that has two different alleles for a particular trait?
What is heterozygous?
What is the term for a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring?
What is a Species
Name the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water, releasing energy for cellular activities.
What is Cellular Respiration
What is the term for alternative forms of a gene that can produce different traits in an organism?
What are alleles?
Which type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?
What is Transfer RNA (tRNA)
What is the term for the process by which water moves across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration?
What is Osmosis
What is the term for structures that have a similar form or function in different organisms but have evolved independently?
What is Analogous structures
Name the phase of the cell cycle during which the cell grows, carries out normal functions, and replicates its DNA.
What is Interphase
What is the term for the process by which cells engulf large particles or other cells into vesicles for transport into the cell?
What is Endocytosis
Which molecule serves as the template for DNA replication, transcription, and translation?
What is DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid)
What is the term for a diagram used to predict the outcome of a genetic cross between individuals with known genotypes?
What is a Punnett square?
This theory proposes that eukaryotic organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from symbiotic relationships between ancient prokaryotic cells engulfing each other.
What is the endosymbiotic theory
