The process by which a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make food.
Photosynthesis
An. organism that cannot make its own food.
Heterotroph
The process by which cells obtain energy from glucose.
Cellular Respiration
The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo.
Cell Cycle
The first stage of the cell cycle that occurs before cell division.
Interphase
An organism that makes its own food.
Autotroph
An organism that produces food for others.
Producer
An energy-releasing process that does not require oxygen.
Fermentation
The process by which the cell makes an exact copy of its nucleus and DNA.
Replication
The second stage of the cell cycle in which the nucleus splits, and an identical set of DNA is distributed to each daughter cell. Split into prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Mitosis
The main pigment for photosynthesis in chloroplasts that makes leaves green.
Chlorophyll
An organism that must eat producers or other consumers to make energy.
Consumer
Name BOTH kinds of fermentation.
Alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.
Threadlike structures made of DNA and proteins.
Chromosomes
The final stage of the cell cycle in which two daughter cells end up with identical DNA and half the organelles of their parent cell.
Cytokinesis
Where on the leaf does oxygen exit?
The underside.
This is given off as a waste product during photosynthesis.
Oxygen
The pain you feel in your legs when you run is caused by ______, whereas _______ helps bread to rise.
Lactic Acid Fermentation, Alcoholic Fermentation.
Chromatids
If a single cell multiplies 5 times, how many TOTAL cells will there be at the end of the fifth cycle?
32
1+1=2
2+2=4
4+4=8
8+8=16
16+16=32
List the process by which a lion might get its energy from the sun.
1. Grass uses photosynthesis to make energy from sunlight and water.
2. Zebra eats grass, turning glucose from plant into energy.
3. Lion eats zebra, turning the meat's energy into energy for its own cells.
What is the Photosynthesis Equation?
Light Energy+6 CO(2)+6 H(2)O. ----> C(6)H(12)O(6)+6 O(2)
OR
Light Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water ----> Glucose + Oxygen
What is the equation for Cellular Respiration?
C(6)H(12)O(6) + 6 O(2) ----> 6 CO(2) + 6 H(2)O
OR
Glucose + Oxygen ----> Carbon Dioxide + Water
Name the three functions of cell division.
1. Grow
2. Repair damage
3. Reproduction
This structure must form to split cells in plants but does not form in the replication of animal cells.
Cell Plate
