Life
100
This organelle stores materials within the cell.
What is a vacuole?
100
This is when water molecules move from areas of HIGH concentration to LOW concentration.
What is osmosis?
100
This is the phase of the cell cycle in which the cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
100
This is the process by which molecules move from areas of HIGH concentration to LOW concentration.
What is diffusion?
100
This scientist was the first to observe plant cells under the microscope.
Who is Robert Hooke?
200
This is where the DNA is located in eukaryotic cells.
What is the nucleus?
200
This property of water allows water molecules to stick to one another.
What is cohesion?
200
In this phase of mitosis, the chromosomes separate and move toward opposite poles.
What is anaphase?
200
This type of cell contains genetic material bound in a nucleus.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
200
This property of life means that a living organism maintains a stable internal living environment. For example, we maintain a body temperature around 98.6 degrees.
What is homeostasis?
300
This organelle produces proteins.
What is a ribosome?
300
This property of water allows water to ADHEREto other molecules/surfaces.
What is adhesion?
300
In this phase of the cell cycle, the DNA of the cell is duplicated.
What is S (synthesis) phase?
300
This organic molecule type of composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Examples include starch and fructose.
What is a carbohydrate/polysaccharide?
300
All living organisms are composed of this subunit.
What is a cell?
400
This organelle produces ATP from organic molecules such as sugars.
What is the mitochondria?
400
This property of water allows water to resist an external force. In your lab, it allowed the paper clip to float.
What is surface tension?
400
This is the process by which, the cytoplasm divides and two new cells form.
What is cytokinesis?
400
Bacteria are composed of what kind of cells?
What are prokaryotic cells?
400
This property of life allows offspring to receive traits from their parents.
What is inheritance?
500
This organelle regulates what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
500
This property of water allows water to travel up a narrow tube against gravity.
What is capillary action?
500
This organelle binds to the sister chromatids and pulls them apart during mitosis.
What is the mitotic spindle?
500
This type of transport requires energy because molecules are moved from areas of LOW concentration to HIGH concentration.
What is active transport?
500
This property of life allows for new generations to develop. Remember, an organism cannot spontaneously appear, it must come from a parent through this process.
What is reproduction?
