Having a single set of unpaired chromosomes
Haploid
Sequence of growth and division in cells. Includes: Interphase, Mitosis & Cytokinesis
Cell Cycle
Process by which light, water and carbon dioxide are used to produce sugar and oxygen
Photosynthesis
any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division
Cancer
Containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent
Diploid
An asexual process by which the nucleus divides into two identical nuclei (PMAT)
Mitosis
Process by which sugar and oxygen are used to produce ATP plus carbon dioxide and water
Cellular Respiration
requires oxygen
aerobic
A form of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms by which one cell divides into two cells of the same size
Binary Fission
Period of cell growth and normal function. The longest phase of the cell cycle. (G1, S, G2)
Interphase
A form of anaerobic respiration that produces alcohol and CO2
Alcohol Fermentation
Occurs in the absence of oxygen
Anaerobic
A reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are identical to the parent.
Asexual Reproduction
Two nuclear membranes form around separated DNA
Cytokinesis
A form of anaerobic respiration that produce a substance that makes your muscles sore
Lactic Acid Fermentation
the universal form of energy for all organisms (useable energy for a cell)
ATP
Process in which cells become specialized in structure and function
Differentiation
The process by which cells receive and respond to information from their environment and other cells
Cell Signaling
Unspecialized cells that retain the ability to become a wide variety of specialized cells
Stem Cells
Body Cells
