List the five characteristics for life.
- Energy, reproduction, responding, waste, growth
100
These three ingredients are required for photosynthesis.
What are light (energy), water, and carbon dioxide?
100
This organelle is responsible for controlling the functions of the cell?
What is the nucleus?
100

What organelle is responsible for producing energy?

mitochondrion

100

This is the process by witch body cells divide to form two identical cells 

Mitosis

200
Two adults have a child. Which characteristic for life does this represent?
What is reproduction?
200
These two ingredients are required for cellular respiration.
What are oxygen and sugar?
200

This organelle is only present in plant and bacteria cells.

What is a cell wall?

200

This organelle is the site of protein synthesis in the cell. What is its name?

ribosome

200

This type of cell division results in four non-identical cells

Meiosis

300
Your stomach grumbles when you wake up in the morning. Which characteristic for life does this represent?
What is gaining and using energy?
300
This kind of cell does not have a cell wall.
What is an animal cell?
300
This organelle is the site of photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
300

What is Cell Membrane

This semi-permeable structure surrounds the cell and controls what enters and exits the cell. What is it called?

300

The phase of Mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle 

Metaphase 

400
My baby shoes are much too small for me now. Which characteristic for life does this represent?
What is growth and development?
400

This kind of cell uses a flagella to motor itself around.

What is a bacterium?

400
An infected cell is unable to package and sort proteins. This organelle must be damaged.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
400

What is the cell wall

The outer layer provides structure to plant cells

400

This phase is the final step in cell division when two new nuclei form 

Telophase 

500
You breathe out carbon dioxide (which was made during cell respiration). Which characteristic for life does this represent?
What is waste elimination and energy use?
500
Louis Pasteur disproved spontaneous generation with his broth experiment, thereby proving this axiom of cell theory.
What is all cell come from existing cells?
500
This organelle is present in plant cells, animal cells, and bacteria cells.
What are ribosomes?
500

Found in plant cells, this organelle stores water, nutrients, and waste.

central vacuole

500

The process that directly follow mitosis to fully split the cytoplasm 

Cytokinesis
