The variable that the researcher changes or manipulates.

Independent Variable

100

This cell structure is found in plant cells and is where photosynthesis takes place. 

Chloroplasts

100

This process allows water to move through the cell membrane from a high concentration to a low concentration of water. 

Osmosis

100

DNA is made up of atoms making it a...

molecule

Asexual reproduction needs this many cells to produce new identical offspring.

One

200

The variable that is measured.

Dependent Variable

200

This cell structures is where osmosis takes place.

Cell membrane

200

Plants obtain stored glucose in their cells through this process. 

Photosynthesis

200

This phase of the cell cycle is the longest phase of the cell cycle. 

Interphase

200
Sexual reproduction needs these two types of cells to produce a new offspring.

egg and sperm cells

300

On a graph, the independent variable is on this axis. 

The X-axis

300

This cell structure surrounds and protects animal and plant cells.

Cytoplasm

300

The reactants of cellular respiration are...

Glucose and oxygen

300

Mitosis has these four phases.

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

300

The genotype BB is described as...

Homozygous dominant

400

On a graph, the dependent variable is found on this axis.

The Y-axis

400
Only plant cells have this rigid structure that supports and protects the cell. 

Cell wall

400

These molecules are needed for photosynthesis to happen. The reactants.

Carbon dioxide and water

400

The complete splitting of the cell happens in this phase.

Cytokinesis

400

If dimples are dominant, then the phenotype of a person with the genotype Bb would be...

Dimples

500

If a researcher wants to test types of fertilizers effects on plant growth, what would be the independent variable?

Types of fertilizers

500

Animal cells and plant cells have this structure, but plant cells have one, while animal cells have many.

Vacuoles

500

If a cell is placed in pure water, the water will flow this direction through the cell membrane. 

Into the cell

500

These two things happen during interphase.

The cell grows and DNA replicates.
500

This many egg or sperm cells are produced from one cell during meiosis.
