200
Which phase would see the chromosomes thicken and become visible?
prophase
200
Give an example of an organism that has eukaryotic cells inside of its body.
Any of the following examples is acceptable: Plants, animals, fungi, or protist
200
Which organelle is responsible for breaking down food (sugar) to convert it to energy for the cell to use?
Mitochondria
200
If a cell is placed in hypotonic solution, it will __________.
get bigger/enlarge
300
The term for cell death is ______________.
apoptosis
300
What structure holds the chromatids together?
centromere
300
Describe one similarity between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Either answer is acceptable - 1) They both have DNA. 2) They both have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, or ribosome
300
Which organelle makes proteins?
Ribosomes
300
Name all the phases of the cell cycle in order.
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis
400
Which structure organizes the movement of spindles?
centrioles
400
What is the last phase of mitosis?
telophase
400
Give an example of an organism that has prokaryotic cells inside of its body.
Bacteria
400
Name at least 2 organelles that are only found in the plant cell and not an animal cell.
Chloroplast, cell wall, and large vacuole.
400
Name 3 types of transport that use proteins to move molecules across the cell membrane.
facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and protein pumps
500
What is different between plant and animal cells when they go through cytokinesis?
Plant cells form a cell plate to divide the cells and animal cells don't need this structure to divide.
500
Provide 3 reasons why cells divide.
1) To maintain homeostasis (cells can't be too large or else they won't be able to take in or let out materials fast enough). 2) For growth. 3) To replace damaged or old cells
500
Name 3 differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
Any 3 answers are acceptable. Prokaryotic cells are simpler, smaller, and reproduce faster than eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells don't have a nucleus while eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus.
500
Describe the difference between a cell membrane and a cell wall
A cell membrane allows materials to enter or leave the cell. A cell wall provides protection for the cell.
500
Name the three types of passive transport.
facilitated diffusion, simple diffusion, and osmosis
