Mitosis and Meiosis

100

This type of cell division yields identical somatic cells.

Mitosis

200

This phase comes directly before both mitosis and meiosis, and includes G1, S, and G2.

Interphase

300

This word means "1/2 the chromosome number" and describes cells made by meiosis.

haploid

400

Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes. After mitosis, cells will have ___ chromosomes. After meiosis, cells will have ___ chromosomes. 

46...23

500

_________ is an event that occurs during _______ of meiosis, and it results in gametes being more unique and varied. 

Crossing over... Prophase 1

Cells and Organelles

100

This organelle is found only in eukaryotes, and converts Oxygen and Glucose to ATP (energy).

Mitochondria

200

This organelle is only in eukaryotic plant cells, and converts sunlight, CO₂, and H₂O into Glucose and Oxygen.

Chloroplast

300

This structure participates in active and passive transport, and separates the cell interior from the environment.

Cell Membrane

400

This organelle packages proteins into lipid vesicles so they can be sent out of the cell.

Golgi apparatus

500

All cells (pro or eukaryote) have _____ as genetic instructions for proteins, and _____ to actually make the protein from RNA.

DNA ... Ribosomes

Macro and Enzymes

100

This macromolecule is shaped like a hexagon and provides quick-burning energy.

Carbohydrate/Glucose

200

Enzymes are ________, and are made of the monomer _______  _______. 

Proteins...amino acid

300

This macromolecule is composed of a phosphate, sugar, and base. It provides genetic information.

Nucleic Acid - Nucleotide

400

Enzymes (Increase? decrease?) activation energy and (Increase? decrease?) reaction speed.

decrease...increase

500

These two environmental conditions will affect enzyme activity in a "Bell Curve" manner.

pH, Temperature

Brain and Hominid

100

This lobe of the brain is farthest back above the cerebellum.

Occipital Lobe

200

Human ____ have gotten smaller to allow human _____ to get bigger over the past 6 million years.

jaws, brains

300

This part of the brain is under the cerebrum and composed of the pons, medulla oblongata, and midbrain. 

Brainstem

400

This word describes a change in hominids that allowed humans to see above tall grass, use their hands for tools while walking, and cover large distances on foot.

Bipedalism.

500

This word describes all of the lobes of the brain.

Cerebrum

Reproduction (Plant AND Animal)

100

This structure in plant reproduction becomes a fruit after the egg inside becomes a seed.

Ovary

200

The male plant structure that produces pollen is called the _____, and the female structure that catches pollen is called the ______. 

Anther...Stigma

300

This structure is the site of fertilization where a sperm meets an egg in mammals.

Fallopian Tube

400

This structure in females houses a placenta, umbilical cord, and developing fetus during pregnancy.

Uterus

500

This tube transports sperm in males and connects the epididymis to the urethra.

vas deferens
