How are materials allowed into and out of a cell? What is this called?

Back to Menu Through the Cell Membrane, which is Selectively Permeable.

Describe how Diffusion works. What is Osmosis?

Process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to area of lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water. Back to Menu

What are Active & Passive transport, and how are they like riding a bike?

You use energy to ride a bike uphill. Active transport requires energy. Going down hill requires no energy, like Passive Transport. Back to Menu

Why is it important for cells to be so small?

Back to Menu Final Jeopardy In order to transport materials into and out of the cell efficiently. To have many cells doing the same job. So we are not as voluminous or massive.

What is the regular sequence of growth and division that cells go through called?

Cell Cycle The Cell Cycle. Back to Menu

List the stages of the Cell Cycle in order.

1.Interphase 2.Mitosis 3.Cytokinesis Back to Menu

Of the stages, which one lasts the longest?

Interphase, which lasts around 20 hours, compared to 1 hour for both Mitosis & Cytokinesis. Back to Menu

What is the significant event that occurs during Cytokinesis? What about in a plant cell?

During Cytokinesis, the cell membrane pinches off to form two new cells. Back to Menu

what goes on during this stage? What are the 3 major events during Interphase? (what goes on during this stage?)

Interphase 1)Structures are fully formed Replicates DNA 2)The nucleus grows as it Replicates DNA 3)Cell doubles in size Back to Menu Final Jeopardy

What is the end result of Mitosis?

One cell splits into 2 with identical copies of DNA. Back to Menu

In order, what are the 4 phases of Mitosis?

Back to Menu 1.Prophase 2.Metaphase 3.Anaphase 4.Telophase

Which two phases are represented by the pictures below?

Telophase leftAnaphase right These pictures represent Telophase (left) and Anaphase (right). Back to Menu

What is the structure that connects the two cells? What is the genetic material that attaches to this structure?

Spindle Fibers Chromosomeschromatid Spindle Fibers bridge the two cells and Chromosomes (chromatid) are attached to it. Back to Menu

Describe an important event that occurs during each phase of Mitosis.

1.Prophase 1.Prophase: cell doubles in size 2.Metaphase 2.Metaphase: chromosomes align in center 3.Anaphase 3.Anaphase: chromosomes split as spindles retract 4.Telophase 4.Telophase: nuclear membrane forms Back to Menu Final Jeopardy

A damaging change to DNA causes a … A) Tumor B) Mutation C) Freckle

Back to Menu A damaging change to DNA causes a … A) Tumor B) Mutation C) Freckle

What is a Tumor?

Back to Menu A mass of abnormal cells caused by uncontrolled cell division.

Explain how cancer spreads.

As tumors grow, some cancer cells can break away and enter the blood stream. Back to Menu

What are the techniques used to treat cancer?

Surgery RadiationChemotherapy Doctors use 3 methods: Surgery, Radiation, and Chemotherapy. Back to Menu

Why is it harmful? How does cancer affect your cells? (Why is it harmful?)

Back to Menu Final Jeopardy Like weeds, Cancer cells take nutrients away from normal cells. This lack of nutrition starves, and kills, your healthy cells.

Photosynthesis What 3 ‘ingredients’ do plants need to complete Photosynthesis?

1.Sunlight 2.Water CO 2 3.Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) Back to Menu

byproductsPhotosynthesis How does a plant acquire each of its ‘ingredients?’ What are the results (byproducts) of Photosynthesis?

Roots Chlorophyll Stomata glucose Roots collect water, Chlorophyll the sunlight, and the Stomata takes in CO 2. The results are energy (glucose) and oxygen. Back to Menu

Why are Photosynthesis and Respiration considered opposite processes?

Photosynthesis uses CO 2 and water to make glucose and oxygen. Respiration uses oxygen and glucose to make CO 2 and water. Back to Menu

which went to overtime and you won! After playing hard in a game of your favorite sport (which went to overtime and you won!), your legs are feeling sore. Why?

You have built up Lactic Acid from Fermentation, a form of respiration that does not use oxygen. Back to Menu

SynthSperation Q5

SynthSperation A5 Back to Menu

This picture shows several purple cells in a particular stage of the Cell Cycle. Which stage is it and how do you know?

Back to Menu Interphase: 1) Fully formed nucleus, which 2) contains replicated genetic material. 3) About 2x larger.
