Photosynthesis | Cell Mitosis | Meiosis |
---|---|---|
What is photosynthesis?
A process used by plants to turn sunlight into energy.
|
What is mitosis?
The process of a cell cloning itself.
|
What is meiosis?
When a cell reproductive cell reproduces when another reproduction cell comes into contact with it.
|
Where in the cell does photosynthesis happen?
The chloroplast.
|
What needs to happen with cell DNA before it can do mitosis?
It needs to double its DNA.
|
What is a gamete?
A reproduction cell.
|
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis in word form?
Carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen + water.
|
Why do we need to do mitosis?
To repair damage and to maintain ourselves whilst our cells break down so we don't melt.
|
What does haploid mean?
A cell that has a single pair of unpaired chromosomes.
|
How many chloroplasts are in a single plant cell on average?
40-50.
|
How many chromosomes do parent and daughter cells have?
46.
|
What does diploid mean?
A cell that has a set of paired chromosomes.
|
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis in chemical form?
6CO2 + 12H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
|
How often do skin cells replace themselves?
Every 3 weeks.
|
Explain why the number of chromosomes is halved during meiosis.
Because having more than 46 chromosomes is like really bad, you could have like a disorder or something.
