Cell Basics
The smallest building blocks of all living beings.
What are cells
The formal expression of a research question or problem
What is a problem statement
Movements that occur forward and backward in this plane.
What is the sagittal plane?
The replacement of damaged cells with the same cell type during wound healing.
What is regeneration?
Carbohydrates primarily serve as this in living organisms.
What is energy?
This organelle is called the powerhouse of the cell
What is the mitochondria
A testable prediction made before an experiment
What is a hypothesis
This plane divides the body into front and back halves.
What is the frontal (coronal) plane?
Tissue repair involving scar formation.
What is fibrosis?
Stress is quantified in the same way as this.
What is pressure?
The main function of the cell membrane
What is to control what enters and leaves the cell
A well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world.
What is a scientific theory?
Movements around an axis, like twisting.
What is a rotational movement?
The phase of mitosis where chromosomes separate.
What is anaphase?
The simultaneous action of two or more kinds of forces.
What is combined loading?
This organelle is responsible for breaking down waste and cellular debris
What are lysosomes
A scientific statement that describes an observed phenomenon and is always true.
What is a scientific law?
Tissue that connects muscles to bones.
What are tendons?
The process by which cells maintain a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
The metric unit used for mass.
What is the gram?
The phase following telophase in the cell cycle
What is cytokinesis
This increases the reliability and statistical significance of a research study.
What is a large sample size?
The system responsible for sending signals throughout the body.
What is the nervous system?
True or False: Completion of telophase means mitosis is finished.
What is False?
This force causes bones to remodel in response to stress.
What is mechanical stress?
