...and several trace elements (Chemical basis of life)
This chemical element is the basis for all life on planet Earth.
What is carbon?
This organelle is considered the "brain" of the cell and carries most of the genetic information of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
This is the energy molecule of the cell, not to be confused with the molecule used to MAKE energy for the cell.
What is ATP?
This tissue is critical in the circulation of nutrients and removal of wastes.
What is blood?
This describes the constant muscle contractions that move food from the mouth, down the esophagus, to the stomach and beyond.
What is peristalsis?
This carbohydrate is the most commonly used source of energy for cells.
What is glucose?
This is the longest phase of the cell cycle and is where the vast majority of cells spend the most time.
What is interphase?
This cellular organelle is commonly referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
This kind/type of tissue is largely composed of collagen and the cells that secrete said collagen.
What is connective tissue?
This organ produces digestive enzymes as well as hormones that regulate blood sugar.
What is the pancreas?
This chemical bond is the weakest of all chemical bonds and provides water with its unique characteristics that allow for life.
What is the hydrogen bond?
This is the process of water moving across a semi-permeable membrane along its concentration gradient.
What is osmosis?
This molecule is the reason why plants are able to capture solar energy as well as the source of their green coloration.
What is chlorophyll?
This tissue not only physically supports the body, but provides a place for vital stem cells to live and develop into replacement blood cells.
What is bone?
This organ, named for diameter instead of length, is where the majority of nutrients are absorbed.
What is the small intestine?
This macromolecule performs the vast majority of functions within a cell and is commonly found in foods like meat and tofu.
What is protein?
This phase of mitosis is identified by all condensed chromosomes lining up along the midline of the cell.
What is metaphase?
This poison is not only known for preventing cellular respiration, but is commonly seen used in spy movies, stored in a false tooth.
What is cyanide?
This tissue works in antagonistic pairs to move the body around its numerous joints.
What are muscles?
This part of the body is where mechanical and chemical digestion both first occur.
What is the mouth?
This subset of macromolecules makes it possible for cells to perform chemical reactions at faster rates.
What are enzymes?
This is the process of programmed cell death that cells undergo during development or in the face of irreparable mistakes.
What is apoptosis?
The carbon used to make sugar during photosynthesis comes from this molecule.
What is CO2?
This tissue is largely responsible for movement, speech, thinking, judgement, and reflexes.
What is nervous tissue?
The sensation known as heartburn is actually the process of this substance moving into the esophagus.
What is stomach acid?
