What is the cell membrane

This organelle controls what substances come into and out of a cell

What is diffusion

This process is how molecules move into or out of a cell from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

What is Interphase

This is the stage of the cell cycle where the cell grows, DNA is replicated, and the cell prepares to divide

What is the nucleus

This organelle is the control center of the cell

Who is Rosalind Franklin

This scientist took an X-ray of DNA and helped Watson and Crick understand the structure which earned them the Nobel Prize

What is the mitochondria

These organelles convert energy in food molecules into energy the cell can use

What is osmosis

This is the diffusion of water

What is Mitosis

This is the stage of the cell cycle where the nucleus divides

What is Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)

This molecule is found inside the nucleus and contains all the genetic information for a cell

Who is Robert Hooke

This scientist is known for naming the cell (meaning little rooms)

What are chloroplasts

These organelles capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell

What is photosynthesis

This process is how producers are able to use carbon dioxide, water and the energy from the sun to make glucose sugar and oxygen

What is Cytokinesis

This is the stage of the cell cycle where the two daughter cells are formed

What is Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C)

These are the nitrogen bases for Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)

Who is Anton von Leewenhoek

This scientist looked at his own teeth scrapings under his simple microscope and is known as the "Father of Microscopy"

What is lysosome

This organelle uses enzymes to break down materials in the cell

What is "opposites of each other"

This is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration

What is Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis (I put my arm there Chuck)

The six phases of the cell cycle IN ORDER ARE...

What is Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA to be exact)...

This molecule copies the DNA code and then moves to the ribosome to be read for protein synthesis

Who are Francisco Redi &/or Louis Pasteur

Which scientist(s) helped disprove spontaneous generation

What are ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi bodies (Golgi apparatus)

These three organelles are involved with proteins: making them, transporting them, and packaging them

What is a tumor (cancer)

This is the result of uncontrolled cell division

What is to make more cells: single celled organisms reproduce and multi-celled organisms grow and replace dead or damaged cells

What is the purpose of cell division. Answer for both single celled AND multi-celled organisms

What are amino acids

These molecules combine to form proteins

All living things are made of cells; Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things; and All cells come from other cells

The three parts of the cell theory state:
