Cell Life Cycle
100

This term refers to a structure being closer to the head.

Superior

100

This is the term for an atom that has lost or gained electrons and carries a charge.

Ion

100

This molecule is known as the "energy currency" of the cell.


ATP

100

This fluid is the viscous, syruplike fluid found inside the cell.

Cytoplasm

100

This is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its time growing and preparing to divide.

Interphase

200

This directional term means a structure is further away from the point of attachment to the trunk.

Distal

200

These are the three components of a nucleotide: a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and what else?

Nitrogenous Base

200

This law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed in form.


1st Law of Thermodynamics

200

These "water-loving" heads of phospholipids face the outward surfaces of the membrane. (hydrophilic OR hydrophobic)

Hydrophilic

200

During this phase of mitosis, the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

Metaphase

300

This body cavity, located in the posterior aspect, contains the brain. (The ___ cavity)

Cranial Cavity
300

This is the most common form of lipid in the body, used for long-term energy storage in adipose tissue.

Triglyceride

300

These biological catalysts accelerate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.


Enzymes

300

This type of diffusion involves small, nonpolar molecules moving directly through the lipid bilayer.

Simple Diffusion

300

This is the process of "programmed cell death".

Apoptosis
400

This plane divides the body into left and right portions.

Midsaggital plane

400

This specific bond forms between water molecules and causes surface tension.

Hydrogen Bonds

400

In this stage of cellular respiration, which occurs in the cytosol, glucose is broken down into two pyruvate molecules.

Glycolysis

400

This is the specific "voltage" of the Resting Membrane Potential of a cell at rest. (number)

-70 mv

400

During this specific phase of mitosis, the sister chromatids are pulled apart by spindle fibers and move toward opposite ends of the cell.

Anaphase

500

Question: This directional term means "away from the midline" of the body, such as the relationship of the thumb to the pinky when the body is in the standard anatomical position.

Lateral

500

Proteins are organized into four levels of hierarchy. This specific level of structure is the unique three-dimensional shape (conformation) of a single polypeptide chain. (A ___ structure)

Tertiary Structure

500

This stage of glucose oxidation occurs twice per glucose molecule and takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.

Citric Acid (Krebs) cycle

500

This process moves large substances out of the cell via a vesicle fusing with the plasma membrane.

Exocytosis

500

These structures at the end of a cell organize the microtubules to pull chromosomes apart during division.

Centrosomes (or centrioles)
