What is an atom?

100

This is the first stage of Mitosis.

What is prophase?

100

Goes through 2 cell divisions and produces 4 cells.

What is meiosis?

200

This watery gel cushions the organelles.

What is the cytoplasm?

200

This occurs when cells sense they have been damaged and/or are longer able to function properly.

What is self-destruct?

200

This term refers to the most complex level of the cellular hierarchy.

What is an organism?

200

In this phase of mitosis, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and prepare to be pulled away from the center of the cell.

What is metaphase?

200

Produces two cells that are genetically identical.

What is mitosis?

300

This organelle decides what enters and leaves the cell.

What is the cell membrane?

300

The cell cycle consists of these phases.

What is interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis?

300

This is a group of cells that are are similar in structure and function and work together to perform a specific activity.

What is tissue?

300

List 2 reasons why mitosis is important.

What is because it helps you grow, heal damaged cells, maintain homeostasis?

300

Makes cells that are not identical to the parent cell.

What is meiosis?

400

__________ use the sun's energy to make it's own food. This process is known as ______________.

What is the chloroplast and photosynthesis?

400

When cells are growing and performing their specific function, they are in this stage of the cell cycle. __% of the cell's life is spent in this phase.

What is interphase and 80%?

400

A multicellular organism is a ________. A unicellular organism is a _________.

What is eukaryote and prokaryote?

400

In this stage of mitosis, chromosomes are pulled back to their side of the cell and the cell begins to split.

What is telophase or cytokinesis?

400

Produces new cells.

What is both?

500

List three differences between a plant cell and an animal cell.

Plant Cells have cell wall, animal cells do not.

Plant cells make their own food, animal cells do not.

Plant cells have chloroplasts, animal cells do not.

500

Explain the relationship between mitosis and homeostasis.

What is organisms need to complete mitosis so they can keep constant supply of new cells in order to function properly? An organism must be able to function properly in order to achieve and maintain homeostasis? Without mitosis an organism cannot maintain homeostasis.
