The Animal Cell
Every animal cell contains this group of structures that carry out functions that keep the cell, and our bodies, alive.
What are organelles
Plants undergo this process to create energy for themselves by using sunlight and water
What is photosynthesis
Osmosis Jones represented this member of the immune system
What is a white blood cell
When learning about viruses, Mr. Ostafiew opening the door represented a virus entering the body through this type of "opening"
What is a cut on the skin
Uncoiled, skinny DNA that is preparing to begin mitosis is called this
What are chromatins
This structure is responsible for producing fats in the cell.
What is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth E.R.)
Mitochondria undergo this process in order to make energy for our bodies
What is cellular respiration
These cells specialize in memorizing foreign materials so they can be destroyed significantly faster the next time they enter the body
What are Memory B Cells
When our body is infected with a virus this area (located in our neck, armpits and groin) swell up as they prepare to attack the virus
What are the lymph nodes
A successful cell division (or mitosis) will result in two daughter cells each containing this many chromosomes with half being the genes from your mom and the other half from your dad
What are 46 chromosomes.
This structure is the powerhouse of the cell and is responsible for ATP (Energy) synthesis
What is the Mitochondria
Cellular respiration involves using these two "things" in order to produce CO2, water and energy
What are oxygen (O2) and glucose (sugar or C6H12O6)
This is the process a cell undergoes when it self-destructs in an attempt to destroy the virus that has taken it over
What is apoptosis
This is the process when a virus forces a cell to burst because it contains to many virus offspring within it
What is lysis
This two cell types are the ONLY two in the body that do NOT undergo mitosis but instead perform meiosis
What are sperm and egg cells
This structure acts as the Amazon of the cell by collecting, modifying, packaging and delivering materials around the cell
What is the Golgi Apparatus
Photosynthesis occurs at this site on plants
What is/are (a leaf)/leaves
These are the three layers of defense against viruses
The skin, white blood cells & antibodies
A virus is able to infect a cell using these two methods
What are fooling the membrane and passing through and forcefully injecting it's DNA into the cell
Our DNA exists in these THREE different forms while doing mitosis
What are chromatins, chromosomes, and chromatids
This structure is the site of protein synthesis in the cell
What is the Ribosome
Chloroplast and Mitochondria exist in balance because this waste product from photosynthesis is used by Mitochondria to produce energy.
What is oxygen
List the 5 types of white blood cells in the human body we learned about
What are Neutrophils, Macrophages, B cells, Memory B cells and T cells
Mr. Ostafiew's favourite virus
What is a bacteriophage
List ALL the phases of mitosis in order
What are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase & cytokinesis
