Cellular respiration
What is the function of cellular respiration?
To burn food (to make energy for the cell).
What is the shape of DNA?
Double helix / Twisted ladder
What is mitosis?
The division of the nucleus of a cell
What is Cytokinesis?
A parent cell splitting into daughter cells
What is the full name of DNA?
Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid
What is the first step of cellular respiration?
Hint: It starts in the cytoplasm
Glycosis
What do we call little pieces of DNA?
RNA
How many different Mitosis phases are there?
5
What is Meiosis?
Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each
What do we call the space inside the cristae?
Matrix
Mitochondria have two membranes
What are they called?
An outer membrane and an inner membrane
What do we call a bunch of twisted bundles of DNA that contain all of your genetic information?
A chromosome
What does DNA need to do before Mitosis occurs?
Replicate (make an exact copy of itself)
How many divisions does Meiosis have?
2 (Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2)
The inner membrane folds in on itself
What do we call these folds?
Cristae
What is the second phase of cellular respiration?
The Kreb’s Cycle or the Citric Acid Cycle
What do we call the repeating units DNA is made up of?
Nucleotides
What does I-P-MAT (or I Punched MATt) stand for?
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase
What Phase does Cytokinesis occur after?
Telophase
What are the 4 basic categories of biomolecules that make up cells?
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, & nucleic acids (DNA / RNA)
What are the 3 end products of cellular respiration?
(name at least 2)
Carbon dioxide, water, and ATPs
How many kinds of nucleotides are there?
(Bonus points if you can name them)
there are 4
(Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine)
What is Anaphase?
Anaphase is where paired chromosomes pull apart and move to opposite poles of the cell.
(HARD)
What is Meiosis 2?
The division in meiosis that reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid without replicating DNA again.
What do we call the process when water passes through a semipermeable membrane?
Osmosis
