Photosynthesis
This is the ultimate source of energy in ecosystems for MOST organisms on Earth.
The sun
Aerobic respiration occurs in the ____________ of cells.
mitochondria
Anaerobic respiration is different from aerobic because it requires...
Oxygen
The longest part of the cell cycle, where the cell grows, replicates DNA, and prepares for division.
Interphase
The second phase of Mitosis where chromosomes line up along the middle (equator) of the cell and spindle fibers attach to centromeres.
Metaphase
What gas does photosynthesis remove from the air?
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Aerobic respiration produces CO2 as a waste product and a whole lot (32-26 to be exact) of this energy storing compound that can be used by the cell.
ATP
This type of fermentation occurs in human muscle cells when there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration.
Lactic Acid Fermentation
The portion of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm separates to create two new daughter cells
Cytokinesis
This is the first phase of mitosis, where the nuclear envelope dissolves.
Prophase
Where does Oxygen exit a plant and Carbon dioxide enter?
Stomata
The first part of respiration, where glucose is split, takes place in the __________ of the cell.
Cytoplasm
This type of fermentation occurs in yeast when oxygen becomes limited.
Alcoholic Fermentation
The phase of the cell cycle where the nucleus of the cell divides, there are 4 steps to this phase.
Mitosis/Mitotic Phase
In the third phase of Mitosis, sister chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.
Anaphase
Which part of a plant would have the most chloroplasts in its cells?
Leaves
This group of organisms performs photosynthesis, but also perform cellular respiration, just like animals.
Plants
Anaerobic respiration produces less __________ than aerobic respiration.
ATP
Name one function of the Cell Cycle.
Growth, Repair, Reproduction
This is the fourth step of mitosis, it results in two new nulcei forming before cytokinesis.
Telophase
Besides creating Oxygen, what does photosynthesis create for heterotrophs?
Glucose/Food
Aerobic cellular respiration produces this waste product (a reactant of photosynthesis)
Water
During alcoholic fermentation, micro-organisms produce alcohol (ethanol) and this gas
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Abnormal cells that have uncontrolled division are known as
Cancer cells
Animal cells contain these structures that move sister chromatids in mitosis, but plant cells do not contain them.
Centrioles
