Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis occurs in these types of organisms.
What are plants, algae, and some bacteria?
This product of photosynthesis is a reactant for cellular respiration.
What is oxygen?
The acronym to remember the phases of mitosis.
What is PMAT?
This type of cell performs mitosis.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
This is the chemical formula for glucose.
C6H12O6
Photosynthesis occurs in this organelle found only in cells of autotrophs.
What is the chloroplast?
This organelle is the main location for cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
The first stage of mitosis in which the chromosomes form and the nuclear membrane breaks down.
What is prophase?
The phase of the cell cycle in which the cell grows, DNA replicates, and the cell prepares to divide.
What is interphase?
This term is used to describe organisms that get their sugars (glucose) from eating other organisms.
What is a heterotroph?
This is the first stage of photosynthesis.
What are the light reactions?
This substance is the waste product of the electron transport chain.
What is water?
The stage of mitosis in which chromosomes uncoil and spindle fibers break down.
What is telophase?
The phase of the cell cycle in which the cytoplasm splits apart and the cell pinches in two.
What is cytokinesis?
This molecule is produced when a phosphate is removed to release energy into the cell.
What is ADP?
Glucose is the main product in this stage of photosynthesis.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
These are the three stages of cellular respiration.
1. Glycolysis
2. Krebs Cycle
3. Electron Transport Chain
The stage of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up down the middle of the cell and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.
What is metaphase?
A term to describe a DNA molecule that contains genetic information.
What is a chromosome?
The stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids move towards opposite poles of the cell.
What is anaphase?
This is the chemical formula for photosynthesis.
6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
This is the chemical formula for cellular respiration.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
The point in the chromosomes in which the spindle fibers attach.
What is the centromere?
This can result when a cell gets "stuck" in mitosis.
What is cancer?
The green pigment in plants and algae that absorbs light.
What is chlorophyll?
