I believe that is called a chord.
Yes, a chord is the straight line segment that crosses a circle, from one side of the circle to the other. The biggest possible chord is the diameter. The curved part of the circle, cut off by the chord [or chords], is the arc or the angle.

What is a line passing through the center of a circle with both end points on the circle called?
This is a line segment called a diameter of the circle.

What is the straight line through the center of a circle called?
A line that goes through a circle is a secant line. (Remember that a line is infinitely long.) Anyline that passes through a circle is a secant line, whether it passes through the center of the circle or not. Compare this to a line segment with endpoints on the circumference of a circle. That segment is called a cord of that circle. If the cord of a circle passes through the center of that circle, it is a diameter of that circle, which is the longest cord of the circle.
What is the line that divides circle into two different parts called?
diameter
