a network of organs and structures, including the lungs, nose, and trachea, that facilitates breathing and gas exchange.
What is the respiratory system?
400
A network of membranes in eukaryotic cells that is covered in ribosomes, giving it a "rough" appearance.
What is rough ER/Rough endoplasmic reticulum?

This is the name of the region of a chromosome that holds the two sister chromatids together.
What is a centromere?
400
During this phase the chromatin begins to form into chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to dissolve.
What is prophase?
400
the body's central communication network, consisting of the brain and spinal cord, which transmit signals to and from the brain and spinal cord controlling both movement and thoughts.
What is the nervous system?

Pictured below is this, a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
What is a chloroplast?
600
This type of solution causes a cell to swell as water enters by osmosis.

enables voluntary and involuntary bodily movement through specialized fibers that contract and relax. It supports posture, maintains body temperature, and circulates blood.
What is the muscular system?
800
Membrane-bound organelles within cells containing acid enzymes that act as the cell's digestive system by breaking down waste materials and cellular debris.

these microtubules are responsible for pulling the chromosomes apart during anaphase.
What are spindle fibers?

A network of glands that produce and secrete hormones, which are chemical messengers that regulate almost every cell, organ, and function in the body.
