100
Examples of these macromolecules are butter, oils, and waxes.
What are lipids?
100
This cell organelle controls all cell functions. It acts like the brain of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
100
The scientific term used to describe a cell being in balance, or at equilibrium, with its environment.
What is homeostasis?
100
The process in which plants cells take in sunlight to create sugars (food).
What is photosynthesis?
100
The longest phase of the cell cycle in which the cell grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares to divide.
What is interphase?
200
Nucleotides are the building blocks of these macromolecules.
What are nucleic acids?
200
This cell organelle allows certain substances into and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
200
Cell transport where energy is needed to move materials into or out of a cell.
What is active transport?
200
The three products of aerobic cellular respiration.
What are carbon dioxide, water, and 36-38 ATP molecules?
200
A cell has 4 chromosomes BEFORE replication. Each daughter cell has this many chromosomes after cell division.
What are 4 chromosomes?
300
These macromolecules provide short-term energy for cells.
What are carbohydrates?
300
This "simple" cell type does not have a nucleus. It forms single-celled organisms like bacteria.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
300
A freshwater plant is placed in saltwater. Water will move in this direction through osmosis.
What is out of the plant cells (into the saltwater)?
300
The unique product made when our cells don't have enough oxygen, so carry out anaerobic cellular respiration.
What is lactic acid?
300
The phase of mitosis in which identical chromosomes are being pulled apart or separated.
What is anaphase?
400
These specific proteins change the rates of chemical reactions.
What are enzymes?
400
Known as the protein factory, this organelle is where proteins are made.
What are ribosomes?
400
Small molecules can move directly into and out of the cell membrane. Larger molecules need the help of these. Be specific.
What are transport proteins or carrier proteins?
400
The light independent reaction takes place in this part of the chloroplast.
What is the stroma?
400
The phase of mitosis in which the spindle fibers dissolve and the nuclear membrane is being reformed.
What is telophase?
500
The type of macromolecule whales use for energy storage and insulation.
What are lipids?
500
A muscle cell that needs lots of energy, probably has more of this "powerhouse" organelle.
What are mitochondria?
500
Water moves into the cell and swells when a cell is placed in this type of solution.
What is a hypotonic solution?
500
The ultimate energy source of all living things.
What is sunlight?
500
The phase of mitosis in which chromatin condenses to chromosomes.
What is prophase?
