These are the two types of cells found in our environment.
What are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
This is the membrane-enclosed organelle that is found only in eukaryotic cells.
What is the nucleus?
These organelles are only found in plant cells.
What are the cell wall, central vacuole, and chloroplasts?
This process is the opposite of photosynthesis.
What is cellular respiration?
____ is the uncontrolled growth and division of cells, meaning that there is a malfunction in the body in knowing when to start and stop mitosis.
What is cancer?
This is another name for the cell membrane, the barrier between the inside of the cell and the outside environment.
What is the plasma membrane?
Humans have 46 of these per cell.
What are chromosomes?
What are the two types of transport?
What is passive and active?
Unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration is divided into these three categories.
What are glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport?
A tumor is a cluster of cells going through uncontrolled mitosis. These are the two types of tumors.
What is benign and malignant?
This organelle acts as the cells "skeleton."
What is the cytoskeleton?
_____ are small cellular structures where protein synthesis occurs.
What are the ribosomes?
These are the three types of passive transport.
What is diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion?
There are two types of cellular respiration: ______ (occurs in the presence of oxygen) and _____ (occurs in the absence of oxygen).
What is aerobic and anaerobic?
During _____, the division of the nucleus in a eukaryotic cell occurs in four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
What is mitosis?
The ____ consists of everything inside of the cell membrane, except the nucleus, and has several important functions.
What is the cytoplasm?
This organelle is nicknamed "the powerhouse of the cell" because it makes ATP.
What is the mitochondria?
_____ is the process that uses energy from the sun, together with carbon dioxide and water, to make glucose and oxygen.
What is photosynthesis?
In a process called _____, only the first step of respiration occurs.
What is fermentation?
______ is a type of cell division in which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half and is specific to the gametes.
What is meiosis?
Although cells are diverse, these parts are shared by all cells.
What is the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, cytoskeleton, and DNA?
These are some of the other organelles found within eukaryotic cells.
What are the rough E.R, smooth E.R, golgi apparatus, vesicles, lysosomes, and vacuole(s)?
Photosynthesis is divided into these two stages.
What are light reactions and the Calvin cycle?
Mitosis and meiosis are both examples of this process.
What is cell division?
While asexual reproduction only requires one parent, this type of reproduction combines the genetic material from both parents when the sperm and egg meet during fertilization to form a zygote.
What is sexual reproduction?
