Cell Division
The sequence of events in which the cell grows, prepares to divide, and then divides into two daughter cells.
What is the cell cycle?
DNA condenses into separate chromosomes
What is prophase?
Cells capture energy in sunlight and use it to make food.
What is photosynthesis?
All living things need this
What is energy?
Photosynthesis occurs in this organelle.
What is the chloroplast?
The stage where the cell grows in size and doubles its contents
What is the Interphase?
Chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell
What is metaphase?
Organisms that make their own food.
What are autotrophs or producers?
The process by which cells release energy.
What is cellular respiration?
The main output for photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
The stage that divides up the contents so each cell has equal parts.
Fibers pull the chromatids apart
What is anaphase?
C6H12O6
What is glucose?
Items needed for cellular respiration.
What are oxygen and glucose?
The organelle where cellular respiration takes place.
What is the mitochondrion?
The stage where the cytoplasm divides and distributes organelles into each of the new daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
Chromatids are pulled to the opposite ends, and membrane forms around the DNA
What is telophase?
Output process of photosynthesis
What is oxygen and glucose?
Products released from cellular respiration.
What are carbon dioxide, water, and energy?
The place glucose is broken down before going into the mitochondrion.
What is the cytoplasm?
The part that forms in the middle of a plant cell before dividing into two cells.
What is the cell plate?
Chromosomes are made up of two of these.
What are chromatids?
Splits the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen
What is sunlight?
Chemical reactions occur here within the mitochondria.
What are the folds in the mitochondria?
Comparing photosynthesis and cellular respiration, they are said to be this.
What is opposite?
