Photosynthesis
This is the organelle that primarily carries out photosynthesis.
What is a chloroplast?
This organelle is the “powerhouse of the cell,” converting energy from food into useable energy.
What is the mitochondria?
This is the part of the cell cycle that replicates chromosomes and separates them to form two new cells.
What is mitosis?
The stage of the cell cycle defined by growth and DNA replication.
What is the interphase?
This is the process by which plants convert solar energy into high-energy glucose molecules.
What is photosynthesis?
The process by which cells convert glucose into accessible energy.
What is cellular respiration?
The first stage of mitosis where chromosomes begin to form and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
What is the prophase?
This structure attaches two sister chromatids at the center.
What is a centromere?
This is the written equation for photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide + water —————> Glucose + oxygen?
This is the written equation for cellular respiration.
What is glucose + oxygen ————> carbon dioxide + water + energy?
The second stage of mitosis, defined by the chromosomes lining up across the center of the cell.
What is the metaphase?
This is the stage of the cell cycle defined by the division of the cytoplasm.
What is cytokinesis?
This is the chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is 6CO2 + 6H2O —————> C6H12O6 + 6O2?
This is the chemical equation for cellular respiration.
What is C6H12O6 + 6O2 ————> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP?
The third phase of mitosis wherein chromosomes split and individual sets of chromosomes move to opposite sides of the cell.
What is the anaphase?
This phase within interphase is defined by the replication of DNA.
What is the S phase of interphase?
The fourth and final stage of mitosis wherein chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and begin to lose their shape.
What is the telophase?
This is a structural protein that DNA wraps around while forming chromosomes.
What is a histone?
