This biomolecule, found in sugary foods and grains, provides us with a burst of short term energy.
What are Carbohydrates?
In this dangerous disease, the cell cycle is thrown out of balance.
What is cancer?
Is a virus a living thing?
No
This DNA-containing organelle is found in Eukaryotes but not Prokaryotes
What is the nucleus?
The first step of mitosis.
What is prophase?
This fatty biomolecule is used to store energy in the long-term.
What are lipids?
The process by which cells replicate themselves.
What is mitosis?
What is a capsid?
Photosynthesis is the all-important process that takes place in this membrane-bound organelle.
What is a chloroplast?
During mitosis, DNA clumps up and forms into these 'X' shaped structures.
What are chromosomes?
DNA and RNA are made up of this all-important type of Biomolecule.
What are Nucleic Acids?
DNA is replicated in this phase of the cell cycle.
What does a virus need to reproduce?
A Living Host.
The powerhouse of the cell --- this organelle is site of cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
In this phase of mitosis, the chromosomes line up at the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
The monomer of proteins. (Proteins are made up of long chains of _____)
What are amino acids?
A cell spends most of its time in this phase of the cell cycle.
What is Interphase
Viral reproduction where the viruses replicates within the cell and breaks free.
What is the lytic cycle?
Membrane-bound organelles are only found in this type of cell.
What are eukaryotes?
This step takes place after the final stage of mitosis, when the cytoplasm splits in two.
What is cytokinesis?
This special type of lipid is used to make cell membranes.
What are phospholipids?
What is growing?
Viral reproduction where the virus inserts its DNA into the host cell.
