Cell process
What is concentration?
What is the amount of substance in a defined space.
What is a host cell?
What is the cell that a virus attaches to, infects, and uses to make more of itself.
What is prophase?
What is the first stage of mitosis during which the nuclear envelope dissolves and chromosomes and spindle fibers form.
What is a double helix?
What is the shape of DNA that looks like a twisted ladder.
What is taxonomy?
What is the way organisms are identified, classified, and scientifically named.
What is the gradient?
What is the gradual change in the substance amount.
What are antibodies?
What is a molecule that the immune system produces to help destroy pathogens like viruses that infect the body.
What is metaphase?
What is the second stage of mitosis during which the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell as they become attached to the spindle fibers.
What is the repeating component of nucleic acids made of a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base.
What is population?
What is a group of organisms.
What is synthesis?
What is viral attachment?
What is when the shape-specific proteins projecting from a virus attach to host cell proteins; this attachment allows the virus to enter the cell.
What is anaphase?
What is the third stage of mitosis during which chromosomes are pulled to the poles of the cell by the spindle fibers.
What is a nitrogenous base?
What is when molecules that include nitrogen pair with each other to form the rungs of the DNA ladder.
What is a characteristic?
What is a trait that helps to identify.
What is facilitated?
What is the immune system?
What is the system protects the body from pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria. Its immune cells destroy invading viruses and bacteria.
What is telophase?
What is the final stage of mitosis during which nuclei re-form in each of the daughter cells.
What is deoxyribose sugar?
What is a molecule that is a component of the backbone of DNA.
What is a characteristic?
What is an organelle?
What is a specialized structure inside a cell that has a specific function.
Define lyctic?
What is a type of viral infection that has a very rapid onset of symptoms
What is cytokinesis?
What is the division of cytoplasm at the end of mitosis.
Define complementary.
What is it describes how nitrogenous bases pair, that is with a specific molecule that completes that ladder's lungs.
What does common or shared mean?
more than one organism having a particular characteristic.
