The "brain of the cell" that controls all cellular functions
What is the nucleus
100
The organic compound that is found in our muscles. It is the building block of all life functions and is found in foods like meat, nuts, and eggs.
What is protein
100
The last phase of cell division where the cytoplasm is completely pinched and two new daughter cells have formed, which are identical to the parent cell
What is cytokenesis
100
The place in the cell where DNA is found
What is the nucleus
100
The process by which plants use the suns energy, carbon dioxide, and water to make glucose and oxygen
What is photosynthesis
200
The part of the cell that holds all of the organelles; a gelatin like material
What is cytoplasm
200
The diffusion of H20
What is osmosis
200
The part of mitosis where the centrioles are on either side of the cell, the chromosomes are attached to the spindle fibers, and the sister chromatids are lined up down the middle of the cell
What is metaphase
200
The substances making up the side ladders of DNA
What is sugar and phosphate
200
The organelles in which photosynthesis takes place (plant) and respiration takes place (human)
What is chloroplast, mitochondria
300
The "highway" of the cell that transports materials from one place to another
What is the endoplasmic reticulum
300
The organic compound making up DNA and RNA
What is nucleic acids
300
The period that cells are usually found in; the period where cells are waiting to begin division
What is interphase
300
The term defining adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine
What is nitrogen bases
300
The part of the leaf where photosynthesis occurs
What is the stomata, the underside of the leaf
400
This is the semi-permeable membrane across which diffusion and osmosis take place
What is the cell membrane
400
This type of movement requires a protein to carry a substance across the cell membrane, due to its size or its movement from a low to high concentration.
What is active transport
400
The period of mitosis where the spindle fibers split the sister chromatids up, pulling the chromatids to opposite ends of the cell
What is anaphase
400
When DNA unwinds as a double helix, nitrogen bases detach from each other, and new strands begin to form
What is DNA replication
400
The formula for respiration (in word form)
What is oxygen + glucose (food)------>carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP)
500
The two organelles that are only found in plant cells
What is the cell wall and the chloroplast
500
When molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
What is diffusion
500
The number of chromosomes present in a cell before and after mitosis
What is 46
500
What DNA stands for
What is Deoxyribonucelic Acid
500
The reason our muscles get sore during a workout; what happens when our cells do not take in as much oxygen as needed
