What are monosaccharides?
100
The repeating sequence of cellular growth and division
What is a cell cycle?
100
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
What are the four phases of mitosis?

200
A sugar, a base and a phosphate group
What is are nucleotides?
200
DNA is copied during this phase
What is the synthesis phase?
200
Centromeres
What are the structures that hold chromosomes together?
300
Growth, metabolism and responsiveness to stimuli
What are verifiable ways of knowing something is alive?
300
Attraction between water on a blade of grass
What is adhesion?
300
The structural make up of the body, such as hair, muscle, etc.
What are proteins?
300
mutations in the cell cycle.
What is uncontrolled growth?
300
They pull the chromatids to the opposite poles in this phase.
What is the function of the spindle fibers in anaphase?
400
The factor that vary in an experiment and the factor that is being measured
What is the difference between the independent variable and the dependent variable?
400
Oil does not dissolve well in water.
What is a example of a nonpolar substance?
400
It stores energy whereas the other is involved in protein synthesis
What is the difference between ATP and RNA?
400
Cytokenisis
What is the third phase of the cell cycle?
400
Golgi apparatus fuse at the equator and form the cell plate; whereas in plant cells the protein threads pinch the cell in half.

500
Water molecules are able to move from the roots of a plant to the leaves.
What is adhesion and cohesion?
500
Contains sugar, a base and a phosphate group
What are nucleotides?
500
Cell growth; DNA synthesis; and mitosis
What are the three principal checkpoints in the cell cycle?
