What's the Difference?
Chromosomes
100
A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein that carries genetic information in the form of genes.
What is a chromosome?
100
The process in which particles move through a membrane from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.
What is active transport?
100
This is the process by which two new daughter cells are created from one eukaryotic cell.
What is mitosis?
100
Cellular Respiration / Fermentation
What is the first uses oxygen, the second doesn't?
100
Pairs of matching chromosomes are called this.
What are homologous chromosomes?
200
Chloroplasts make energy for plants by turning carbon dioxide, water, sunlight and chlorophyll into glucose and oxygen during what process?
What is photosynthesis?
200
The process in which particles move through a membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
What is diffusion?
200
This is the stage of mitosis where the aligned chromatids are ripped apart by the contracting spindle fibers.
What is anaphase?
200
Active Transport / Passive Transport
What is the first requires energy, but the second doesn't?
200
True or false: Humans have 46 chromosomes
What is true?
300
The two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division.
What are chromatids?
300
The process in which WATER moves through a membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
What is osmosis?
300
In this step of mitosis, the cell membrane begins to constrict and two nuclei begin to form around the genetic material at either end of the cell.
What is telophase?
300
Diffusion / Osmosis
What is they are the same, but the second deals exclusively with the movement of water?
300
True or false: Prokaryotic cells, which do not have a nucleus, have one circular DNA molecule.
What is true?
400
A method for producing energy that also creates carbon dioxide and lactic acid.
What is fermentation?
400
The process that takes place when a cell forms a vesicle around an unwanted particle and ejects it from the cell.
What is exocytosis?
400
Prior to mitosis, this process involves the growth of the cell and copying of genetic material in preparation for division.
What is interphase?
400
Autotroph / Heterotroph
What is the first can make its own food, while the other must consume to survive?
400
This is the name for two copies of chromosomes.
What is chromatids?
500
ATP, carbon dioxide, and water are the products of this chemical process in the mitochondria.
What is cellular respiration?
500
This is how larger molecules are transported into a cell.
What is endocytosis?
500
Following mitosis, this process which literally means "cell movements", completes the separation of the daughter cells
What is cytokinesis?
500
Chloroplast / Mitochondria
What is the first is the site of photosynthesis while the second is the site of cellular respiration?
500
Name the three major stages of the cell cycle.
Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
