Cell Parts
Organelle known as the "powerhouse of the cell."
What is the mitochondrion?
Type of transport that requires no energy.
What is passive transport?
Stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle.
What is metaphase?
The breakdown of molecules to release energy.
What is catabolism?
The complementary base to adenine in DNA.
What is thymine?
Organelle responsible for protein synthesis.
What are ribosomes?
When a cell uses energy to engulf a solid particle.
What is phagocytosis?
Stage of mitosis where the nuclear envelope reappears.
What is telophase?
The building of larger molecules from smaller ones.
What is anabolism?
Process of making RNA from DNA.
What is transcription?
Organelle that packages and ships proteins.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
Solution where water moves equally in and out of the cell.
What is isotonic?
The stage where sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
What is anaphase?
The first stage of cellular respiration, occurring in the cytoplasm.
What is glycolysis?
The entire set of genetic material in an organism.
What is the genome?
Organelle filled with digestive enzymes that break down waste.
What are lysosomes?
Movement of molecules from low concentration to high concentration using energy.
What is active transport?
The division of the cytoplasm at the end of mitosis.
What is cytokinesis?
Process in the mitochondria that produces the most ATP.
What is the electron transport chain?
Enzyme responsible for building new DNA strands during replication
What is DNA polymerase?
Organelle where lipid synthesis and detoxification occur.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Process where the cell membrane brings in liquid droplets.
What is pinocytosis?
The stage before mitosis where DNA replication occurs.
What is interphase (S phase)?
When ATP loses a phosphate group, it becomes this molecule.
What is ADP?
Process where mRNA is decoded to build a protein.
What is translation?
