Fundamental Plant Process

4. First Stage of Mitosis
7. Plant cell which is limp through a reduction of pressure inside the cell.
9. Process by which a cell releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.
10. A single piece of coiled DNA that contains many genes
11. Also known as the g1 phase
13. Region of DNA is typically found in the center of a chromosome which links two sister chromatids.
15. First Embryonic Leaf (Leaves) of a Seedling That Emerge at the time of Germination
16. Fourth Stage of Mitosis
17. Ordered a set of events resulting in cell growth and division into two daughter cells.
19. Tissue produced inside the seeds of most flowering plants which surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch, oils, and protein
20. Phase Phase in which the cell replicates its DNA
22. Second Stage of Mitosis
24. First root of the plant which elongates during germination and forms the primary root
25. Solute concentration is the same on either side of the cell membrane and results in incipient plasmolysis

1. Process by which new cells are created
2. Process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution
3. Transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism
5. Phase of the cell cycle is when a cell spends the majority of its time and performs most of its normal functions in preparation for cell division.
6. Spindle Fibers form during mitosis and segregate chromosomes.
8. One copy of a duplicated chromosome which is usually joined to the other copy by a centrosome
12. Area in the cell where microtubules are produced
14. Process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in bonds of sugar.
15. Process which occurs after mitosis where the cell splits and two daughter cells are created, each with one nucleus.
18. Chemical product of photosynthesis
21. Process by which a plant grows from a seed
23. Third Stage of Mitosis
