100
How many daughter cells are made from one cycle of mitosis?
2 identical daughter cells
200
What is a hypothesis?
An educated guess or best explanation for what you believe will happen
200
Nucleotides are the monomer for which macromolecule?
Nucleic Acids

What organelle is arrow #3 pointing to and what is its function?
The mitochondria, cellular respiration to make energy, the power house of the cell
200
In which organelle does cellular respiration occur in?
The mitochondria
200
What are the 4 nitrogenous bases of DNA and which do they pair with?
A-T & C-G
200
What phase of the cell cycle is demonstrated by the 4th cell?
Metaphase
300
What is the controlled variable?
The variable that remains the same, the norm, the base
300
What macromolecule is responsible for energy storage?
Lipids/Fats
300
What are the 3 differences between a plant and animal cell?
Plants have a cell wall, chloroplast, and a large vacuole.
300
What is an example of an autotroph and heterotroph, what is the difference?
Autotrophs make their own food, heterotrophs rely on other organisms for food
300
What amino acids are produced from the following RNA sequence? CAU GCA AGC 
His, Ala, Ser
300
What occurs during anaphase in the cell cycle?
The chromosomes are pulled apart at the centromere
400
Identify the independent variable:
Three redwood trees are kept at different humidity levels inside a greenhouse for 12 weeks. One tree is left outside in normal conditions. The heights of the trees are measured once a week.
The different humidity levels
400
What is the monomer for proteins?
Amino Acids
400
What is the difference between active and passive transport?
Active moves from low to high and uses energy where as passive moves from high to low without energy.
400
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
H2O + CO2 + Sun ------> C6H12O6 +O2
400
What type of RNA is responsible for reading the DNA code?
mRNA
400

Interphase or S phase
500
What is the dependent variable?
The variable that is being measured.
500
What is one way to test for carbohydrates?
Iodine or Benedicts Solution
500
What is the difference between prokaryotes & eukaryotes? and give an example of each
Pro have no nucleus and organelles ex: bacteria
Eukaryotes have a nucleus and specialized organelles ex. animal and plant cells
500
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
They are opposite reactions, the products of one are the reactants for the other.
500
What are two differences between DNA & RNA?
DNA is double stranded, RNA is single stranded
DNA has ATCG, RNA has AUCG
DNA has deoxyribose, RNA has ribose
500
What is the stage of the cell cycle that occurs after Mitosis and what happens during that stage?
Cytokinesis, this is where the cytoplasm of the cell splits
