Definition for Photosynthesis:
|
Process that all living things depend on for energy
|
|
|
Photosynthesis equation
|
Sunlight + Chlorophyll + Water + Carbon Dioxide = Oxygen + Sugar
|
|
|
Photosynthesis raw materials
|
water and carbon dioxide
|
|
|
Stomata
|
Tiny openings on the bottom side of a leaf that allows Carbon
Dioxide to enter the plant and Oxygen to leave the plant. |
|
|
Definition for Respiration:
|
Energy releasing process that requires the use of oxygen.
|
|
|
Respiration Equation
|
Oxygen + Sugar = Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water vapor
|
|
|
Raw materials for Respiration
|
Oxygen and Sugar
|
|
|
Stage 1 of Respiration takes place in:
|
cytoplasm
|
|
|
Stage 2 of Respiration takes place in:
|
Mitochondria
|
|
|
Fermentation
|
Energy releasing process that does not require oxygen
|
|
|
Lactic Acid Fermentation
|
takes place when cells run low on oxygen. It
produces lactic acids that cause muscles to become sore |
|
|
Alcoholic Fermentation
|
Takes place in single-celled organisms such as
Yeast. |
|
|
Name the stages of Cell Division
|
Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokenesis
|
|
|
What is the characteristics of interphase
|
a period of growth and development for
the cell. After the period ofgrowth the cell will make copies of its DNA thru a process called Replication |
|
|
Name the phases of Mitosis in order
|
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
|
|
|
Characteristics of Prophase
|
when the cells chromosomes become
visible and the Centrioles start to move to opposite sides ofthe cell. The nuclear membrane begins to fade away. |
|
|
Characteristics of Metaphase
|
when the chromosomes line up across
the middle ofthe cell. The centromeres become attached to the spindle fibers. |
|
|
Characteristics of Anaphase
|
when the chromosomes begin to separate
and the spindle fibers start pulling them to opposite sides ofthe cell. |
|
|
Characteristics of Telophase
|
when the spindle fibers begin to fade
away and a nuclear membrane begins to form around each new set of chromosomes. Cell membrane begins to pinch together. |
|
|
Characteristics of Cytokenesis
|
when the cells cytoplasm pinches
together to form 2 new identical cells. |
|
|
DNA molecules are shaped like a :
|
spiral staircase
|
|
|
The outside of a DNA Molecule is like a handrail made up of
|
sugar and phosphate
|
