Cell Structure
the basic unit of life
What is a cell?
The substance used to give energy to cells
What is glucose?
Plants use this to make food
What is sunlight?
The process by which cells replicate
What is cell division?
The process when molecules move from high to low concentration?
What is diffusion?
Part of the cell that controls what enters and exits the cell
What is the cell membrane?
The process of breaking down glucose.
What is cellular respiration?
Pigment responsible for capturing sunlight
What is chlorophyll?
Mitosis and Cytokinesis
What are the 2 main stages of cell division?
The type of transport that does not require energy
What is passive transport?
The organelle known as the powerhouse of the cell.
The gas cells take in during respiration
what is oxygen?
The two main products of photosynthesis
What are glucose and oxygen?
Type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells
What is mitosis?
A cell engulfs large particles
What is phagocytosis?
The structure that provides support and shape to plant cells
Produced as a waste product of cellular respiration
What is carbon dioxide?
The equation for photosynthesis
What is 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6O2?
The phase where DNA is duplicated
What is interphase?
It regulates what enters and exits the cell
What is the function of the cell membrane?
The jelly-like substance inside the cell
What is cytoplasm?
What is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP ?
It produces oxygen and is the basis of the food chain
why is photosynthesis important for life on Earth?
It allows for growth and repair of tissues
What is the significance of mitosis?
The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane
What is osmosis?
