Cell Cycle

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Cell Cycle   Process where cells grow, replicate DNA and divide.  
🗑
Mitosis   Asexual Reproduction  
🗑
Chromosome   Compacted strands of DNA (there are 23 pair).  
🗑
Gene   Segments of DNA that code for a protein or trait.  
🗑
Diploid   Having a full set of chromosomes.  
🗑
Nucleotide   Building block of DNA.  
🗑
Gap 1 Phase   Cells grow and carry out daily life functions.  
🗑
S Phase   DNA replicates during this phase and doubles the amount of DNA.  
🗑
Gap 2 Phase   The cell creates new organelles and grows in size in preparation to divide.  
🗑
M Phase   This phase is where cell division occurs and it can either be mitosis or meiosis.  
🗑
Diffusion   Process where molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration without using ATP.  
🗑
Active Transport   Process where molecules move from a low concentration to a high concentration using ATP.  
🗑
Photosynthesis   Process that takes inorganic molecules and turns them into organic molecules using energy from the sun.  
🗑
Cellular Respiration   Process that turns Glucose into a usable form of energy for the cells.  
🗑
Nucleus   Organelle that is involved in the reproduction of cells and stores genetic material.  
🗑
Interphase   The phase of the cell cycle where cells go about their daily functions. Cells spend most of their time here.  
🗑
Starch   The polymer of Carbohydrates that is created by bonding glucose together.  
🗑
Nucleic Acids   The organic molecule of which DNA is a polymer of.  
🗑
Asexual Reproduction   Form of reproduction in which the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.  
🗑
ATP   Energy that cells use to carry out life functions.  
🗑
Homeostasis   Maintaining a stable internal environment.  
🗑
Ecological Succession   Process of which an ecosystem recovers after being damaged usually from a natural disaster like a forest fire.  
🗑
Autotrophs   Producers that can make their own food through photosynthesis.  
🗑
Hetertrophs   Consumers that eat other organisms to gain energy.  
🗑
Decomposers   Organisms that return nutrients to the soil after breaking down dead organic matter.  
🗑
Enzymes   Speed up or slow down chemical reactions. Another name is catalyst.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
