Cell Structure
What are cells?
This organelle is the site of photosynthesis (where light energy is converted into chemical energy - glucose).
What is the chloroplast?
________ is when cells may divide uncontrollably as a result of mutations.
What is cancer?
This process results in the formation of two new nuclei.
What is mitosis?
This cell part regulates what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
These cells are the smallest and most simple.
What are prokaryotic cells.
This organelle site of cellular respiration (where glucose is converted into energy the cell can use to do work).
What is the mitochondria?
Cells replicate their DNA, grow, and generally do their job in this phase.
What is interphase?
During this phase of the cell cycle, sister chromatids (replicated chromatids) are pulled apart.
What is anaphase?
The term known as "programed cell death".
What is apoptosis?
These cells are the largest and make up all multicellular organisms. They holding a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What are eukaryotic cells?
This cell part provides protection and regulates what enters/exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane (plasma membrane)?
This is the name of the two cells produced at the end of one round of cell division. They are exact clones of each other, containing the same DNA.
What are daughter cells?
During this phase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the dividing cell.
What is metaphase?
This is considered the last phase of the cell cycle when daughter cells "pinch" apart forming their own cells.
What is cytokinesis?
TRUE or FALSE: Organelles evolved from prokaryotic cells that were "swallowed" by other prokaryotic cells.
What is true?
TRUE or FALSE: Both plant and animal cells have a a cell membrane, but only plant cells also have a cell wall.
What is true?
List the three (3) reasons why cells divide.
What is to grow and organism, replace damaged cells, and reproduce (unicellular organisms).
During this phase the nucleus breaks down and chromatin condense into chromosomes.
What is Prophase?
TRUE or FALSE: Cells that require more energy will have more mitochondria.
What is true.
Bacteria is an example of this type of simple cell.
What is the prokaryotic cell?
This organelle is the site of protein synthesis.
What is the ribosome?
This cell part produces spindle fibers that attach to chromosomes during metaphase.
What are centrioles?
Write the phases of the cell cycle in order using the 1st letter only.
What is interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, & cytokinesis. (IPMATC)
This is the last phase of mitosis.
What is telophase?
