What is H2O?
What is prophase?
They don't feel too lonely, but organisms containing one cell are termed this.
What are unicellular organisms?
Chewing is this form of digestion that begins in the mouth.
What is mechanical digestion?
Vegetable oils are these types of fats that are liquid at room temperature.
What are unsaturated fats?
This organelle controls energy production in eukaryotic organisms, which is why it is referred to as the "powerhouse."
What is the mitochondrion?
This stage of mitosis features chromosomes moving away from each other during cell division.
What is anaphase?
Talk about independent, these organisms can produce their own food and are termed these in nature.
What are autotrophs?
This substance is produced and stored by the body to digest fats after a heavy meal.
What is bile?
These fats have been banned around the world for their dangerous, artery-clogging consequences.
What are trans fats?
Plants use this compound to make sugars, but we breathe it out of the body as waste.

What is purebred?
This organ has over 500 known functions. One function is to produce substances to digest fats.
What is the liver?

The nuclear membrane reforms during this stage of mitosis that occurs before cytokinesis.
What is telophase?
Trouble breathing and mucus in the lungs are common side effects of this dangerous, genetic disorder.

What is iodine?
This organelle receives proteins and chemicals from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which is why it is often referred to as the cell's "post office."

List the stages of mitosis in order.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
SS and Ss are two types of these that determine what alleles of a trait organisms contain.
What are genotypes?
This organ releases enzymes into the small intestine to help nutrient absorption.
