Give me a "P"!
These are the tiny machine-like molecules that carry out the essential functions of life.
What are proteins?
This cell part regulates what gets into and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This cell part stores the information on how to make proteins.
What is DNA? (chromosomes and genes accepted)
This is the physical property where molecules/particles move around on their own microscopically.
What is diffusion?
Uncontrolled cell growth in a multicellular organism is also called what?
What is cancer?
This acronym consists of the first letter of the four stages of Mitosis.
What is P.M.A.T.?
This organelle stores, modifies, packages, and "ships off" proteins.
What is the Golgi?
This organelle's job is to hold and protect the cell part that stores the information on how its proteins are made.
What is the nucleus?
This is the tendency of water to diffuse automatically to where there’s less water by proportion.
What is osmosis?
These are substances that cause mutations that deregulate the cell cycle.
What are carcinogens/mutagens/cancer causing agents?
This is the first stage of Mitosis.
What is Prophase?
This is the jelly-like water-based fluid that everything in a cell “floats” around in.
What is cytoplasm?
Organisms in the groups plants, fungi, most prokaryotes, and some protists have this cell part while animals do not.
What are cell walls?
Water will diffuse into a cell when the cell is sitting in this type of water.
What is Hypotonic/pure/distilled?
DAILY DOUBLE!!
These are the phases of Mitosis.
These are the lipid, based upon a triglyceride, that make up membranes.
What are phospholipids?
These larger packets of membrane store things like water, salts, proteins and/or carbs for the cell.
What are vacuoles?
This organelle used to be its own free-living bacteria.
What is the mitochondria or Chloroplast?
Small molecules get into/out of the cell through these.
What are protein channels?
This stage of the cell cycle is when the DNA is duplicated.
What is the S Phase ("Interphase" is also alowed)?
These are a classification of simple cells that do not have a nucleus or membrane-based organelles and include bacteria and archaea.
What are prokaryotes?
This cell part lies just outside of the nucleus and is the cite where many proteiens (and lipids) are made.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum or ER?
This cell part temporarily dissipates/dissolves during Prophase.
What is the Nucleus?
DAILY DOUBLE!!
This is what wil happen if you placed a cell in seawater?
These are the three phases of Interphase.
What are G1, S, and G2?
