This instrument allowed for the discovery of a cell.
What is a microscope?
This process includes four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
What is mitosis?
The process of creating food using energy from the sun.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the general name for cell transport that requires energy.
What is active transport?
This is the phase where a cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division.
What is interphase?
This type of organism cannot create its own food. It must eat food in order to obtain energy.
What is a heterotroph?
This organelle is crucial in building proteins. It does this by reading genetic instructions from the nucleus.
What are ribosomes?
This is the diffusion of water into or out of the cell.
What is osmosis?
This is the phase where the cell membrane starts to pinch in the middle, separating the two new nuclei.
What is cytokinesis?
This is what goes into a chemical reaction and gets transformed.
What is a reactant?
This cell type is found in bacteria and archaea.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
This type of transport requires no energy but needs the help of a protein.
What is facilitated diffusion?
This is the phase where the centrioles begin to pull apart the chromosomes, bringing each half to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
This is needed in stage 1 of photosynthesis, and it gets broken down into hydrogen and oxygen.
What is water?
List each statement of the cell theory...
1. All living things are made of cells. 2. Cells are the basic unit of life. 3. Cells only come from other cells.
This organelle is a series of interconnected passageways. Proteins and lipids are synthesized here also. There are two varieties: 'S' and 'R'.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
This form of transport requires energy to take materials out of a cell.
What is exocytosis?
This is an additional step that occurs in plant cells when they undergo cytokinesis.
What is the formation of a cell plate?
These are the reactants needed for cellular respiration to occur.
What are glucose and oxygen?
