Mitosis
This is the purpose of mitosis in multicellular organisms.
What is growth and repair?
This is the term used to describe haploid cells created by meiosis.
What are gametes? or What are sperm and egg?
This energy source drives photosynthesis.
What is sunlight? or What is the sun?
This medical treatment introduces weakened or inactive pathogens to stimulate immunity.
What is vaccination? or What is a vaccine?
These are large carbon-based molecules such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.
What are macromolecules?
Uncontrolled cell growth
What is cancer?
These are identical copies of a chromosome joined at the centromere.
What are sister chromatids?
This gas is taken in during photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
These cells "engulf and digest" invading pathogens as part of the immune response.
What are phagocytes? or What are macrophages?
These organic molecules are built from amino acids and perform many cellular functions.
This phase of mitosis is when chromosomes line up at the cell's equator.
What is metaphase?
This process includes two rounds of division but only one round of DNA replication.
What is meiosis?
This pigment absorbs light energy.
What is chlorophyll?
These cells remember pathogens.
What are memory B cells? or What are memory T cells? or What are memory B and memory T cells?
This macromolecule's monomer is fatty acids and glycerol and is used for long-term energy storage.
What are lipids?
This phase marks the division of the cytoplasm.
What is cytokinesis?
This phase occurs when homologous chromosomes separate or pull away.
What is anaphase I?
This molecule stores energy produced during photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
Overuse of antibiotics can lead to this phenomenon in bacteria.
What is antibiotic resistance?
This macromolecule stores genetic information and are built using carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
What are nucleic acids?
These structures pull chromosomes apart during cell division.
What are spindle fibers? or What are spindles?
Crossing over occurs during this phase which helps increase genetic variation.
What is prophase I?
This equation summarizes photosynthesis.
What is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy (sunlight)--> C6H12O6 + 6O2? or What is 6 Carbon dioxide + 6 Water + light energy (sunlight) --> Glucose + 6 Oxygen?
These proteins specifically recognize and bind to antigens to pathogens.
What are antibodies?
These three elements make up all macromolecules?
What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?
