Meiosis
In this phase of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are separated into two different cells
What is Meiosis I
This phase of mitosis is when the chromosomes condense and the nuclear membrane begins to break down
What is prophase
This organelle is often referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell" because it generates ATP through cellular respiration
What is the mitochondria
This organelle is the site of photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy
What is the chloroplast
This is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
What is diffusion
This event occurs during prophase I of meiosis when homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material
What is crossing over
In this phase of mitosis, sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite ends of the cell.
What is anaphase
This structure controls the movement of substances into and out of the animal cell and is composed of a lipid bilayer
What is the cell membrane
This tough, rigid structure surrounds the plant cell and provides support and protection
What is the cell wall
This process describes the movement of water molecules from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration across a semi-permeable membrane
What is Osmosis
These are the types of cells produced by meiosis, and they contain half the number of chromosomes as the original cell
What are gametes
This phase marks the final step of mitosis, where the nuclear membrane reforms and the cell begins to split into two
What is telophase
This organelle is responsible for packaging and modifying proteins for secretion or transport
What is the Golgi apparatus
This green pigment in the chloroplasts absorbs light for photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll
This process occurs when molecules of a substance spread out evenly in a solution, resulting in an equal concentration throughout
What is equalibrium
The furrow is the name of the structure that forms between two daughter cells during this
What is cytokinesis
The period of the cell cycle where the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis
What is interphase
These tiny structures are involved in organizing the microtubules during cell division
What are centrioles
This organelle stores water, nutrients, and waste products in plant cells and helps maintain turgor pressure
What is the vacuole
This type of transport moves molecules against their concentration gradient and requires energy from ATP
What is active transport
This phase of meiosis is when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell before being separated
What is metaphase I
These structures attach to the centromeres of chromosomes during mitosis, helping to separate the sister chromatids.
What are spindle fibres
These organelles are involved in breaking down waste material and cellular debris
What are lysosomes
The plant cell undergoes this process in the chloroplasts to convert light energy into glucose
What is photosynthesis
This type of diffusion involves the movement of molecules like oxygen or carbon dioxide across a cell membrane without the need for energy
What is passive diffusion
