Intro to Cells
Unicellular organisms are called _________
What are prokaryotes?
This is the "powerhouse" of the cell
What is the mitochondria?
This is the part of the cell cycle in which cell division occurs.
What is mitosis?
This is the end product of photosynthesis
What is glucose (sugar)?
Multicellular organisms are called _________
What are eukaryotes?
The "control center" of the cell, only found in eukaryotic cells.
What is the nucleus?
This is what genetic material is called
What is DNA?
This is a microscopic threadlike part of a cell that carries genes.
What is a chromosome?
These are examples of prokaryotic organisms.
What are bacteria, archaea?
This is the rigid structure that surrounds the cell in plants, fungi, and bacteria that helps protect the cell.
What is the cell wall?
This is how cancer is related to the cell cycle
Cancer is caused by changes to DNA that affect the cell cycle, resulting in uncontrolled cell growth and spread
These types of organisms use photosynthesis for food.
What are plants, algae, and some bacteria.
These are examples of eukaryotic organisms
What are plants, animals, and fungi?
This is what separates the material from the outside of the cell from the material inside of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This is a new cell that is produced as a result of cell division and is essentially the "offspring" of a parent cell.
What is a daughter cell?
This is the equation for what process?
C6H1206 + 6O2 ------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
What is cellular respiration?
These are the basic units of life
What are cells?
These make protein for the cell.
What are ribosomes?
This is the main purpose of the cell cycle
What is for cells to replicate and make new cells
This is the equation for what process?
6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6CO2
What is photosynthesis?
