Photosynthesis
These are products of photosynthesis and the reactants in cellular respiration.
Glucose and Oxegen
The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
Cellular respiration
A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleolus.
Mitosis
The movement of substances across cell membranes without the need for energy by the cell.
Passive Transport
Phase 3 in mitosis- The spindle fibers shorten, pulling the sister chromatids apart to opposite ends of the cell.
Anaphase
The chloroplasts
A type of sugar that is a primary source of energy for cells.
Glucose
Thread-like structures located within the nucleus of animal and plant cells, made of protein and a single molecule of DNA.
Chromosomes
The process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration to low concentration.
Diffusion
Phase 4 in mitosis- The chromosomes arrive at the poles of the cell and begin to decondense. The nuclear envelope starts to re-form around each set of chromosomes.
Telophase
Chloroplasts, the green organelles in plant cells, use what to absorb sunlight?
Chlorophyll
The energy currency of the cell, used to perform work.
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)
A type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the production of gametes.
Meiosis
A type of diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis
Body system that breaks down food into nutrients, including glucose, for energy.
Digestive System
Glucose, which has the chemical formula of _______, is one of the most important sugars in photosynthesis.
C6H12O6
The organelle where cellular respiration happens.
Mitochondria
Phase 1 in mitosis- The chromosomes condense, becoming visible under a microscope. The nuclear envelope breaks down, and the spindle fibers begin to form.
Prophase
The movement of substances across a cell membrane using energy, usually against a concentration gradient.
Active Transport
A group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound.
Molecule
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Nutrient category including sugars and starches, which is a major energy source.
Carbohydrates
Phase 2 in mitosis- The chromosomes align at the cell's equator, and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes.
Metaphase
A few methods of passive transport include...
Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion
A substance or molecule that can transport energy for use by cells.
