Organelles
This organelle stores DNA.
What is the nucleus?
These are cells that are not yet specified.
What are stem cells?
This is the primary building block of cell membranes.
What are phospholipids?
This is the process by which your body makes two geneticly identical daughter cells.
If you see a nucleus you are looking at this cell type.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
This organelle is responsible for cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
We say that a cell that has undergone differentiation is this.
What is specified?
This is the movement of material using energy.
What is active transport?
During this phase of the cell cycle chromosomes meet in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
A cell with a nucleus and a cell wall is this cell type.
What is a plant cell?
This organelle helps maintain homeostasis.
What is the cell membrane?
We say that embryonic stem cells are this?
What is totipotent?
If a cell is surrounded by very salty water, we say that its environment is this.
What is hypertonic?
These are the three main reasons cell undergo mitosis (100 points each).
These are three ways prokaryotes and eukaryotes differ.
What is: Prokaryotes lack a nucleus, membrane bound organelles, and are much smaller
This organelle is covered in ribosomes.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Stem cells know to differentiate due to this.
What are a complex series of environmental and chemical signals?
If a cell is placed in pure water we will expect water to flow this way.
What is into the cell?
During this phase of the cell cycle DNA is replicated.
What is interphase?
The cell wall is made of this sugar in plants.
What is cellulose?
This organelle is responsible for protein synthesis.
What is the ribosome?
Genetically, this is how your various cells are different from one another.
They have different segments of DNA active.
If a cell is in a hypertonic solution we describe its apperance after osmosis has occurred as this?
What is crenation?
These are the four identifying features of prophase.
What are: chromosome formation, nuclear membrane breaks down, spindle fibers extend, and centrosomes head to opposite ends of the cell.
These are the two main differences between DNA in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
What is prok - free floating and looped, euk - nuclear and chromosomal.
