Mitosis & Meiosis
This form of cell division involves one parent cell becoming two daughter cells
What is mitosis?
These reactants exist in cellular respiration
What is glucose and oxygen?
This is the amount of food energy a person requires; it varies with body weight, age, and activity level
What are calories?
This organelle is the site of photosynthesis
What are chloroplasts?
This is the primary source of energy for most cells in the body
What is sugar?
This form of cell division creates daughter cells with 23 chromosomes each
What is meiosis?
The process of cellular respiration produces these...
What is carbon dioxide, water, and ATP?
These nutrients fuels our brain and muscles
What are carbohydrates?
This organelle is responsible for making proteins
What are ribosomes?
These systems work together to transport oxygen throughout the body
What are the respiratory and circulatory systems?
This is sexual reproduction, resulting in the formation of gametes
What is meiosis?
The scientific word for sugar
What is glucose?
This nutrient is key for building body tissue
What is protein?
Like chloroplasts, this cell part can only be found in plant cells
What is a cell wall?
This is what molecules from food react with in order to provide our bodies with energy
What is oxygen?
This form of cell division results in four daughter cells
What is meiosis?
These reactants exist in photosynthesis
What is carbon dioxide, water, and solar energy?
This nutrient contributes essential fatty acids and promotes absorption of fat-soluble vitamins
What is a lipid?
This jelly-like fluid keeps organelles in place, stopping them from being slammed around in the cell
What is cytoplasm?
This is the set of chemical reactions involved in storing fuel (food) molecules and converting fuel (food) molecules into energy
What is our metabolism?
This form of cell division occurs in animal cells, plant cells, and fungi
What is both mitosis AND meiosis?
The process of photosynthesis produces these...
What is glucose and oxygen?
This accounts for 60% of all energy used in the body
What is BMR (basal metabolic rate)?
This organelle digests excess or worn-out cell parts and food particles
What are lysosomes?
This is increased as we take in more oxygen
What is our metabolism?
