Photosynthesis
This is the process by which plants make their own food using sunlight
What is photosynthesis
This process releases energy from glucose using oxygen
What is respiration?
This is the stage where the cell grows and copies its DNA.
What is interphase?
This is a disease where cells divide uncontrollably.
What is cancer?
An organism that makes its own food.
What is an autotroph?
This green pigment captures energy from sunlight
What is chlorophyll?
This process releases energy without oxygen.
What is fermentation?
This is when the nucleus divides.
What is mitosis?
This is a mass of abnormal cells.
What is a tumor?
The series of events a cell goes through as it grows and divides.
What is the cell cycle?
These are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis
What are carbon dioxide and water?
This gas is produced during respiration.
What is carbon dioxide?
This process makes an exact copy of DNA.
What is replication?
Name one common treatment for cancer.
What is chemotherapy/radiation/surgery?
A substance that absorbs light energy.
What is a pigment?
These are the products of photosynthesis
What are glucose and oxygen
This organelle is where most energy is releases during respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
This is when the cytoplasm divides.
What is cytokinesis?
Cancer begins when this system is disrupted.
What is the cell cycle?
A structure made of DNA that contains genetic information.
What is a chromosome?
This structure allows gases like CO2 and O2 to enter and exit the leaf
What are stomata?
Why do organisms carry out respiration?
What is to release energy for cell functions (growth, repair, movement)?
Why are daughter cells identical to parent cells?
What is DNA exactly and evenly divided?
These are changes in DNA that can lead to cancer.
What are mutations?
What happens to energy from the sun during photosynthesis.
What is energy from the sun is captured by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy stored in glucose.
