100
The "mighty ______________," also known as the "powerhouse" of the cell, is responsible for producing energy.
Mitochondria
100
This cell type contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Eukaryotic Cell
100
What is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends the majority of its life (the longest stage)?
Interphase
100
What is the name of the process by which a cell checks for damage to DNA before moving on to the next stage of the cell cycle?
Checkpoint
100
During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
200
This organelle stores genetic material.
Nucleus
200
This cell type does NOT contain a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotic Cell
200
During which stage of interphase does the cell replicate/synthesize DNA?
S-Phase
200
What is the process called where a less specialized cell becomes more specialized in structure and function?
Cell Differentiation
200
What is the four-letter acronym used to remember the order of the stages of mitosis?
PMAT
300
This organelle surrounds the cell, controlling what enters and exits the cell. It is found in both plant and animal cells.
Cell Membrane
300
This type of cell contains chloroplasts, allowing it to undergo photosynthesis.
Plant Cells
300
In which phase does the cell divide its cytoplasm, resulting in two daughter cells?
Cytokinesis
300
If a cell experiences a mutation in a gene, allowing the cell to bypass all cell cycle checkpoints, what could this potentially lead to?
Uncontrolled Cell Division; Tumors; Cancer
300
Which stage of mitosis is shown in the image below?
Telophase
400
This organelle is responsible for protein synthesis.
Ribosomes
400
Which general cell type makes up all of the tissues found in the human body?
Eukaryotic Cells; Animal Cells; Somatic Cells
400
Interphase, the first stage of the cell cycle, is broken into three stages. List these stages in order.
G1, S, G2
400
What might the S/G2 cell cycle checkpoint look for in a cell before sending it to the next stage?
Damaged DNA (harmful mutations)
400
Which stage of mitosis is characterized by the sister chromatids being pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell?
Anaphase
500
List one organelle that eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have in common.
Ribosomes, Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, etc.
500
What type of cell can differentiate into any type of cell in the body
Embryonic Stem Cells
500
During both G1 and G2 cell growth occurs. What is the primary difference between these two stages? In other words, what occurs during G2 other than growth?
Preparation for Mitosis
500
What term refers to a type of programmed cell death that occurs to prevent damaged cells from dividing?
Apoptosis
500
During which stage of mitosis does genetic material (DNA) begin to condense into X-shaped chromosomes, and the nucleus begins to break down?
Prophase
