Cell Cycle
What are the 6 phases of the cell cycle in order?
Innerphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis.
What is photosynthesis?
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
What are the 4 water cycles in order?
evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection.
What is the cell wall?
A rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
A delivery system of folded membranes that sort and transport enzymes and hormones made in one part of the cell and needed in another location in the cell.
What is the cell cycle?
A series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides.
What is ATP?
A molecule containing three high energy phosphate bonds that acts as the primary energy-transferring molecule in a living organism
How is water evaporated?
when energy forces the bonds that hold water molecules together to break.
What is the mitochondria?
An organelle that produces most of the energy cell needs to carry out its function
What is cytopasm?
Jelly-like material surrounding the nucleus of a cell; chemical reactions take place here
What is a chromatid?
What is the calvin cycle?
A cyclic set of reactions occurring in the stroma of chloroplasts that fixes the carbon of CO2 into carbohydrate molecules and recycles coenzyme.
What are the 3 states of matter that water can exist in?
liquid, solid, gas
What is an organelle
A tiny parts within a cell that carry out specific functions within the cell
What is a plastid?
Responsible for photosynthesis, storage of products like starch, and for synthesis of many classes of molecules such as fatty acids
What is the structure shaped as an X in a cell?
Chromosome
What is a photosystem?
A cluster of photosynthetic pigments embedded in a thylakoid membrane of a chloroplast that absorbs light energy.
How does water vapor in the atmosphere turn into clouds?
The vapor cools off and condenses
What is a nucleous?
A small object within the nucleus that helps to make ribosomes
What is a microtubule?
Serve as structural components within cells and are involved in many cellular processes including mitosis and cytokinesis.
A cell with 10 chromosomes undergoes what?
Mitosis
What is the photosynthesis equation?
6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is the water cycle?
the repeated movement of water through the environment in different stages
What is a cell membrane?
The outside boundary of a cell that controls which substances can enter or leave a cell
What is a plasmodesma?
Small pores in the cell wall which appear to allow a bridge of cytoplasm from one cell to the next.
