CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
are the basic unit of life
What are cells?
interphase,prophase,metaphase,anaphase,telophase,cytokinesis
What is the six phases for mitosis?
ribose
What is the sugar in RNA?
the process a plant uses to combine sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and sugar
What is the photosynthesis?
the production of genetically identical offspring from a single parent is known as
What is asexual reproduction?
store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
What are vacuoles?
a fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes
What is a spindle?
genetic information is bundled into packages of DNA known as
the movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as
What is active transport?
process by which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell
What is meiosis
the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells
What is cell division?
levels or organization
What is a cell?
What is a tissue?
What is an organ?
What is an organ system?
What is an organism?
the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are moved apart
What is anaphase?
one of the most important compounds that cells use to store and release energy is
What is ATP?
the first stage of mitosis, is usually the longest and may take up half of the total time required to complete mitosis
What is pro phase?
capture the energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
What is chloroplasts?
the cytoplasm pinches in half. each daughter cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes
What is cytokinesis?
plants principle pigment is
What is chlorophyll?
begins when sister chromatids suddenly separate and begin to move apart
What is anaphase?
