Basics of The Cell
What part of a cell controls what goes in and out of the cell?
The cell membrane
What is the cell cycle?
The steps a cell goes through to grow and divide.
How many phases of Mitosis are there?
Four (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase).
What type of cells are human cells?
Eukaryotic Cells
What planet is known as the Red Planet?
Mars
Where are the DNA in eukaryotic cells located?
In the Nucleus
What phase of the cell cycle do cells spend the most amount of time in?
Interphase
Mitosis and Cytokinesis
What makes plant cells different from animal cells?
They have cell walls and chloroplast
What is the lightest element on the periodic table?
Hydrogen
What is mitochondria
The Powerhouse of the cell
or
Converts sugars into ATP
or
How cells make energy
What are the two significant things that a cell does while in Interphase?
Grow and copy its DNA
What happens during Prophase?
The Chromosomes appear and the Nucleur Envelope breaks down
True or False: Most cells in our body have the exact same set of DNA
True
What force keeps us on the ground?
The basic unit of life
What is a cell?
To make two identical cells with the same set of DNA
What is the point of the Cell Cycle?
This part of mitosis consists of Chromosomes lining up on the equatorial plate and spindle fibres attaching to them
What is Metaphase?
Around 37 trillion cells in the human body
How many cells in the human body?
The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make energy via sugars.
What is Photosynthesis
The organelle is only found in plant cells and is key for photosysnthesis
What is the chloroplast?
DNA that is wrapped around proteins and condenses to become visible during prophase. Known for its distinct X shape, it is made up of 2 sister chromatids.
What are Chromosomes
The phase in the stages of mitosis that has the nuclear envelope reforming and cell division is set up to occur
What is Telophase
While Valonia ventricosa is the largest non gamete cell, this egg from the largest living bird is technically the largest single celled organism when it is unfertilized.
What is an Ostrich Egg
This gas makes up over 78% of the Earth's atmosphere. (Answer can be stolen)
Nitrogen (N2)
