independent variable
What are the phases of the cell cycle?
Interphase, PMAT, cytokenesis
protein
the process a plant uses to combine sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and sugar
What is the photosynthesis?
Why do organisms go through cell respiration?
Which variable is measured?
dependent variable
a fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes
What is a spindle?
What are the building blocks of nucleic acids?
