This prevailing theory of early history suggested that life spontaneously arose from organic material
What is spontaneous generation
100
This organelle houses the DNA of the cell
What is a nucleus
100
Animal cells possess this flexible structure that aids in movement and form. It could be likened to a "skeleton."
What is a cytoskeleton
100
This stage of cell growth is comparative to infancy and adolescence-- it is where most growth occurs
What is G1
100
During this phase, chromosomes migrate to opposite ends of the cell preparatory to telophase.
What is anaphase
200
Fill in the blank: All livings things are composed of .......
What are cells
200
This cell organelle generates power for the cell by transforming light energy into chemical energy
What is a chloroplast
200
Plant cells use this organelle to reserve water for hard times-- sometimes the organelle will expand to take up most of the cell
What is a vacuole
200
This is the phase in which a cell grows
What is interphase
200
In this phase, the nuclear membrane disintegrates and chromatin condenses into chromosomes
What is prophase
300
Cell theory states that cells are the basic units of ......... and ......... in living things.
What is structure and function
300
This organelle produces proteins-- commonly referred to as the assembly line.
What is a ribosome
300
A plant cell possess this exterior boundary
What is a cell wall
300
This is a checkpoint stage-- also a stage in which the cells develop fully before mitosis
What is G2
300
Each round of Mitosis for an individual cell produces a total of ________ cells.
What is 2
400
Robert Hooke discovered the cell through this device
What is a microscope
400
This organelle acts as the highway for a cell
What is ER
400
Although both plant and animals cells possess this energy generator (ATP)-- animals tend to use this organelle more extensively
What is mitochondria
400
DNA replication occurs in this stage
What is S phase
400
In this phase, chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the cell
What is metaphase
500
Robert Hooke looked at this specific cell when he made his monumental discovery
What is a cork cell
500
This organelle is double membrane and possesses its own DNA. Its suggested origin comes from the endosymbiotic theory.
What is mitochondria
500
This "security" exterior exists in both plant and animal cells-- however it is more well known in animal cells.
What is a cell membrane
500
In this state, a cell will grow indefinitely, reproduce infinitely, and disobeys signals from other cells.
What is cancer or cancerous cell
500
In this phase, chromosomes decondense into chromatin.
What is telophase
