Pro & Eu
Plant vs. Animals
Mix-it-Up!
Cell Cycle
Mitosis or Meiosis
100

Controls the functions of the organelles and contains genetic material.  Prokaryotic cells lack this structure.

NUCLEUS

100

The outer covering that plants and prokaryotes have in common, but animal cells lack.

CELL WALLS

100

The lipid bilayer that surrounds all cells, it is said to be "selectively permeable".

CELL MEMBRANE.

100

Which reproduces faster, prokaryotic cells or eukaryotic cells?

PROKARYOTIC CELLS

100

The name of the asexual process given to eukaryotic cells that undergo "cell division" as a means to repair, replace or grow.

Mitosis

200

The oldest and most primitive type of cell.

PROKARYOTIC or BACTERIA cells

200

A membrane-bound organelle, it stores food, water, waste, and other material for plant and animal cells.  It is much larger in plant cells.

VACUOLE

200

These cells contain only "HALF" of the number of chromosomes as your diploid somatic cells.

Haploid Cells (aka- your gametes)

200

The phase of the cell cycle where centrioles begin forming in preparation for mitosis. 

Gap 2 (or G2 Phase)

200

These organelles pull chromosomes apart using spindle fibers during cell division.  

Centrioles

300

These cells contain organelles, a nucleus, and can be classified as plant, animal or fungi 

Eukaryotes 

300

A muscle cell, as compared to a skin cell, uses way more energy (ATP) to function so it would have way more of these organelles inside it.

Mitochondria.

300

Place these in the correct order from LARGEST to SMALLEST:  

Prokaryotic Cells-Viruses-Eukaryotic Cells-Human Hair


Human Hair-Eukaryotic Cells-Prokaryotic Cells-Viruses

300

DNA Replication occurs in a 5' (prime) to 3' (prime) direction during this phase of the cell cycle . 

(BE SPECIFIC with FULL NAME)

Synthesis Phase (S-Phase)

300

This is the phase of mitosis that the chromatin condenses and the chromosomes first become visible.  

Prophase

400

These TWO types of eukaryotic cells have cell walls. (TWO ANSWERS)

PLANT and FUNGI

400

The Cell Wall is made out of this macromolecule (need specific name).

CELLULOSE. 

400

The spread of cancer cells into other parts of the body. 

Metastasis

400

Chromatin condenses into sister-chromatids, which are connected at this feature in which the spindle fibers attach. 

Centromere

400

The contractile ring is responsible for ____________ in many eukaryotic cells and is thought to contribute to cell division by 'squeezing' the cell into two.  This process also involves the complete separation of the cytoplasm and cell membrane. 

Cytokenisis

500

Prokaryotes undergo cell division through a process known as this.

Binary Fission

500

The cell membrane is primarily made out of phospholipids which have a "water-loving" head and a "water-fearing" tail. What name is given to the HEAD of the phospholipid?

Hydrophilic 

500

This is the process of a cell committing "Cell Suicide" 

Apoptosis

500

These are short sequences of DNA nucleotides which are synthesized discontinuously and later linked together by the enzyme DNA ligase to create the lagging strand during DNA replication.

Okazaki Fragments

500

This is the phase where "cross over" of the tetrads occurs and is also known as the longest phase of gamete division. 

Prophase 1
