8 characteristics of life
Cell energy
Cell Cycle and DNA
Mitosis and Meiosis
100

What organelle is responsible for making proteins?

ribosome

100

All living things are made of 1 or more

cells

100

What organelles are related to cell energy?

The chloroplast and mitochondria

100

part of the cell cycle that cells spend most of their time

interphase

100

The structure that pull apart chromosomes/chromatids

Spindle fibers

200

What is the function of the ER?

make lipids and proteins and transport them throughout the cell

200

Maintaining stable internal balances in the cell is called:

Homeostasis

200

What are the reactants of photosynthesis, that are the products of cellular respiration

Carbon dioxide and water.

200

Where DNA is copied

s-phase of interphase

200
What are the 4 stages of mitosis.
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
300

Which cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

Eukaryotic

300

I touch my hand to a hot pan and immediately pull it back in pain.  This is an example of:

responding to stimuli

300

What's the overall goal of cellular respiration?

Breakdown glucose into ATP

300

How is mitosis related to cancer?

Its uncontrolled mitosis

300

Which process creates cells for asexual reproduction

meiosis

400
Explain 3 differences between plant and animal cells

Plants have cell wall, vacuole, and chloroplast

animal cells have lysosomes

400

Needles on cactus are an example of

Adapting and evolving
400

How many reactions in photosynthesis?  cellular respiration?

2 in photo,  3 in CR

400

What are 3 things that cause cancer?

uv light, chemicals, and genetics

400
At what point in meiosis do the cells become haploid?

After telophase I of meiosis

500
List out 4 things found in ALL cells

DNA, cytoplasm, cell membrane, and ribosomes

500

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are examples of

metabolism and using energy

500

Describe the cell energy cycle?

Plants depend on the CO2 and H2O from animals and animals rely on the C6H12Oand O2 from plants

500

What form does DNA take mitosis vs in interphase and why?

In mitosis, DNA is in the form of chromosomes because this is easier to separate than chromatin, which is the form DNA takes in interphase

500
How is the cell different during Metaphase I of meiosis compared to Metaphase of Mitosis

In metaphase I, homologous chromosomes line up as a pair, but in mitosis, chromosomes line up single file
