Ecosystems
A non-living factor
Abiotic
A double layer that supports and protects the cell. Allows materials in and out.
Cell membrane
What stores food and water in the animal cell?
The vacuole stores food+water
What does DNA stand for
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
The 2 parts of the X-shaped chromosomes have this "sibling" name
Sister chromatids
An organism that uses sunlight to create its food
Producer
What is the control center of the cell?
Nucleus
This organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
What is the process of copying DNA called?
DNA replication
The longest phase of the cell cycle
interphase
A relationship when both benefit each other
Mutualism
Green pigment in plants
Chlorophyll
Unlike plant cells, animal cells completely lack this rigid outer covering
Cell wall
Where is DNA located?
Nucleus
In this stage of mitosis, the chromosomes align in the middle or equator of the cell
Metaphase
The number of individuals of a species an ecosystem can support
Carrying capacity
Jelly-like fluid that surrounds and protects organelles
cytoplasm
This organelle acts as the "garage disposal" or recycling center, using enzymes to break down waste
Lysosome
Hydrogen bonds
These are the 4 stages of mitosis (in order)
PMAT
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
3 types of adaptations
Behavioral, structural/physical, physiological
Processes and packages materials for the cell
Golgi body
Plants cells are typically shaped like rectangles, whereas animal cells usually have this general shape
Circular/irregular
What are the four nitrogen bases of DNA?
Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine
This forms between two PLANT cells during cytokinesis
Cell Plate
