Components and functions of Eukaryotic Cells
DNA, Chromosomes, and Bears, OH MY!
My-toe-sis
100

This membrane bound organelle takes up 30-90% of the cell, and aids in storage and the removal of waste.

Vacuole

100

The four letters that make up the strands of nucleotides. Bonus points if you can list their full names

(A)denine, (C)ytosine, (G)uanine, (T)hymine

100

The goal of Mitosis is:

Cell division for non reproductive cells

200

The three main components of a eukaryotic cell.

Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Cell Membrane.

200

The function of DNA is: 

Stores and uses information to direct the activities of the cell, copies itself exactly for new cells to be created, and controls the production of proteins within the cell. Variation in nucleotide orientation allows for diversity of genotypes and phenotypes. 

200

In this phase, the chromosomes align in the center of the cell (equatorial plane) as microtubules attach to chromosomes, forming a spindle apparatus.

Metaphase

300

Components and characteristics you would find in a plant cell, but not an animal cell. List at least three.

Cell Wall, Chloroplasts (plastids), Chlorophyll, Larger vacuole(s), uniform and and angular cell shape, larger in size, cytoskeleton composed of many small nucleation sites, and plasmodesmata.

300

A chromosome is made up of: 

Two sister chromatids connected at the kinetochores with microtubules.

300

This process occurs in Interphase.

The cell grows and duplicates its DNA.
400

Three common plastids found in plants.

Chloroplasts, Chromoplasts, and Leucoplasts

400

The abbreviation of DNA stands for:  

Deoxyribonucleic Acid

400

In this phase the cell plate forms, which eventually becomes the cell wall. 

Telophase

500

Components of the double membrane-bound organelle: The Chloroplast. List at least two. 

Stroma, Thylakoids, Granum (stack of thylakoids), Inner membrane, and Outer membrane.

This phase is the shortest phase of Mitosis

Anaphase.
