Phases of Mitosis
What is the first stage of mitosis? It is where chromosomes become visible by coiling up, the nuclear membrane dissolves, and spindle fibers form.
Prophase
Daughter cells
Conversion of light energy from the sun to chemical energy plants can use.
Photosynthesis
What are offspring?
Children
What day of the week is Thanksgiving always on? +100 bonus points if you know what day of November it falls on this year.
Thursday. The 23rd.
The phase of cell division where the cytoplasm splits to form two separate daughter cells.
Cytokinesis
A self-replicating material found in nearly all living organisms, it is what chromosomes are made of
DNA
The green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and bacteria.
Chlorophyll
What is a clone?
a copy
Subtract the # of the room you are currently in from the # of Mrs. Levesque's room. What number do you get?
3
The phase of mitosis when the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
Anaphase
What do we call the phase that the cell spends most of its life in? This is where the cell grows, performs normal functions, and prepares to divide
Interphase
Small openings on the underside of leaves that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move in and out.
Stomata
What is osmosis?
Thursday. The 23rd.
Phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the center of the cell.
Metaphase
The name of the protein structures that move the chromosomes during cell division.
Spindle fibers
Name the two raw materials of photosynthesis and the two products of photosynthesis. +200 points if you can name the third thing needed for photosynthesis.
Raw materials - Carbon dioxide, water
Products - oxygen, sugars
Bonus material - light energy
Name two of the three parts of the cell theory.
1. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function.
2. All living things are made of cells.
3. All cells come from other cells.
The answer is a character when you put the two pieces together. 1. Its flavor can be chocolate chip or peanut butter. 2. The thing you don't want hiding under your bed/

Telophase
Why do cells divide? Give two reasons.
To grow, to repair, to replace.
What is the name of organisms that make their own food? What is the name of organisms that cannot make their own food?
Make - autotroph
Cannot make - heterotroph
