What is found only in plants and provides strength and support to the cell membrane?
cell wall
300
What materials are transported through the process of diffusion?
All molecules except water
300
What happens in telophase?

What is respiration?
The process by which mitochondria breaks down sugar by using oxygen to make ATP

What is a centriole?
The “lasso” that helps pull the chromosomes apart during mitosis.
500
What is the difference between environmental and inherited traits?
Inherited traits are traits that you get from your parents that are influenced by your genes. Environmental traits are influenced by your environment.
