Cells
This organelle is the "powerhouse" of the cell. It is responsible for making ATP, which the body uses as energy. It has multiple membranes.
What is the mitochondria?
These are the nucleotide pairs that make up DNA (matched correctly).
What is Adenine-Thymine and Cytosine-Guanine? (A-Team, CoverGirl)
What is the first phase in Mitosis
What is interphase?
This is the basic definition of homeostasis.
What is keeping the body at a "steady state" - ensuring that internal conditions are kept relatively constant?
These types of cells are made up of animal, plant, protist, and fungi cells.
What are eukaryotic cells?
This is the simpler of the two types of cells that we studied this year. Mostly only bacteria fall into this category.
What is prokaryotic cells?
This is where DNA is stored in the cell at all times except during mitosis.
What is the nucleus?
In this phase, the chromosomes line up in the middle of the spindle.
What is metaphase?
This is what happens to our skin when we are too hot and we need to quickly cool down.
What is sweating?
This is the organelle that is responsible for making proteins. It exists in some form in every type of cell.
What are ribosomes?
These are the two organelles that most famously exist in eukaryotes, but not prokaryotes.
What are the nucleus and the mitochondria?
These are the two components that make up the backbone of DNA molecules.
What is sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate?
The number of phases in mitosis.
What is five?
This is what happens to our heart and breathing rate when we are resting.
What is a decrease?
This is the place in the cell where translation takes place.
What is the cytoplasm?
These types of cells are undifferentiated and have unlimited potential. Able to turn into any other cell type, they can exist in the embryo or the grown adult.
What are stem cells?
This is the central dogma of biology.
What is DNA to RNA to protein?
This phase is where the chromosomes become condensed.
What is prophase?
This is the reason that our heart and breathing rate increase when we are exercising.
What is the fact that our bodies need more oxygen to keep up with the energy they are expending?
This is a fun fact about any of the teachers in this room (do you remember when we told you about ourselves??).
What is anything true about Mr. Jones or Ms. Springman or Ms. Townsend...
These molecules are responsible for activating the correct genes in the products of stem cell mitosis that lead to differentiation.
What are transcription factors?
These are the two major differences between DNA and RNA.
What is Uracil and Thymine, and double vs single backbone?
What is the purpose of mitosis?
What is the replacement of damaged cells or growth?
This phenomenon describes a system wherein the body sends feedback to the brain to tell it to stop increasing a stimulus (ex. temperature).
What is a negative feedback loop?
This is what can happen to DNA when mitosis starts happening too quickly. Enough of these problems leads to cancer.
What is a mutation?
