Stuff (hard)
100
Type of respiration that requires oxygen.
Aerobic.
100
What is the name for when a cell replicates and all information is preserved?
Mitosis. (If info isn't preserved, we'll call that meiosis, next week).
100
In what phase of Mitosis does the nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear?
Prophase
100
What are the protiens that bind to enzymes telling cells when to proceed to the next cycle?
cyclins
100
In what organelle does Krebs cycle (and thus the production of carbon dioxide) take place?
Mitochondria.
200
Another word for anaerobic respiration.
fermentation
200
What is it called when a cell splits into two (for eukaryotes).
cytokinesis.
200
In what phase do the chromosomes moves to the poles and begin to relax (decondense)?
Telophase
200
What do we call the uncontrolled growth and division of cells?
Cancer
200
What do we call the "staple" that holds together sister chromatids?
Centromere.
300
Breakup of sugar. Gives roughly 2 ATP and one NADH.
Glycolysis
300
Unrelaxed (coiled) form of DNA. Makes a sort of "X" shape in microscopes.
Chromosomes (made of 2 sister chromatids) or chromatids
300
In what phase do the sister chromatids separate and are pulled apart?
Anaphase.
300
What do we call chemicials and agents that increase the likelihood of cancer?
carcinogens
300
Instead of pinching in half, what grows between nuclei in plant cells during mitosis?
Cell plate (becomes cell wall).
400
Series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide.
Krebs Cycle
400
Relaxed form of DNA
Chromatin (not the same as chromatids or chromosomes, which are coiled/condensed DNA)
400
What's the shortest phase of mitosis, where chromosomes align along the equator?
Metaphase
400
What do we call programmed cell death?
Apoptosis
400
What do proteins bind to in the stages of interphase and mitosis to start the activities that take place in the cell cycle?
Cyclin-dependent kinases.
500
What substance builds up in your muscles to make them sore?
Lactic Acid
500
What are the major phases of Interphase?
G1, S1, G2 (G stands for "Gap" but I think of it as Growth).
500
What do we call the pinch in a cell that gradually grows to separate it in half?
Furrow
500
What do we call unspecialized cells that can be tricked into becoming specialized cells (blood, muscle, nerve, etc.)
Stem cells.
500
What's the surface area of a cube that is 2 centimeters tall?
6*2^2=6*2*2=6*4=24 square centimeters.
