Vocabulary
100
The stages of mitosis
What are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokenisis
100
The diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane
What is osmosis?
100
These help determine the size, shape, and other traits of an organism
What is protein?
100
The period between cell division, the cell is performing regular activities, and chromosomes are being copied.
What is interphase?
100
Small openings on the underside of a leaf that oxygen and carbon dioxide move through
What is stomata?
200
The structures that make up DNA
What are deoxyiribose, nitrogen base, and phosphate?
200
A property of cell membranes that allows some substances to pass through while others can not.
What is selective permeability?
200
The four nitrogen bases in a DNA molecule
What is adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine?
200
The phase where cell division begins, DNA shortens and thickens, centrioles move to the ends, nuclear membrane disappears, and spindles stretch across.
What is prophase?
200
An organism that makes it's own food
What is an autotroph?
300
The way cancer is related to mitosis
What is cell division?
300
The process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
What is diffusion?
300
The order of nitrogen bases on a gene that determine what protein will be produced
What is the genetic code?
300
The phase when chromosomes line up in the middle of the nucleus
What is metaphase?
300
When plants and other organisms capture energy in sunlight and turn it into food
What is photosynthesis?
400
Ways cancer can be treated
What is drugs, surgery, and radiation?
400
The movement of material through a cell membrane using energy
What is active transport?
400
There is one group of three nitrogen base codes for each one of these
What is a gene?
400
The phase when chromosomes are pulled apart by spindle fibers and sister chromatids move to poles.
What is anaphase?
400
When a cell breaks down a molecules to release energy without using oxygen
What is fermentation?
500
The three methods cells use to move materials in and out of the cells?
What is diffusion, osmosis, and active transport?
500
Cells use info from a gene on a chromosome to produce a specific protein
What is protein synthesis?
500
The building blocks of protein
What is amino acids?
500
The phase when new nuclear membranes are formed, 2 nuclei form, cell membranes pinch in, and chromosomes unwind back into loose DNA
What is telophase?
500
When a cell breaks down a simple food molecule to release energy they contain
What is respiration?
