This student arrives late to class almost every day and some days doesn't bring a pencil either!

Who is Scott?

100

Prokaryotic cells do not have these.

What are membrane bound organelles? What is a nucleus?

100

These organisms cannot make their own food and must obtain energy from external sources.

What are autotrophs?

100

In this phase, the nuclear membrane is reformed and sister chromatids are separated on either sides of the cells.

What is telophase?

200

This element is the basis of all organic material.

What is carbon?

What is life?

200

This organelle contains digestive enzymes.

What is a lysosome?

200

This provides energy for photosynthesis.

What is light energy?

200

During this part of the cell cycle, DNA is replicated (copied).

What is Interphase Synthesis?

400

This type of cell movement occurs from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration and is accomplished by special proteins in the membrane.

What is facilitated diffusion?

400

This organelle is where photosynthesis takes place.

What is the chloroplast?

400

These two processes occur in Meiosis and increase genetic diversity.

What is crossing over and independent assortment?
