Column 1
The final stage of the cell cycle, in which the cell's cytoplasm divides, distributing organelles into each of the new cells
Cytokinesis
The use of drugs that treat diseases such as cancer
Chemotherapy
The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo
Cell Cycle
The location where stage 1 of cellular respiration occurs
Cytoplasm
A mass of abnormal cells that develops when cancerous cells divide and grow uncontrollably
Tumor
Small openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move
Stomata
The process by which a cell makes a copy of the DNA in its nucleus
Replication
An organism that cannot make it own food
Heterotroph
The process by which cells break down molecules to release energy WITHOUT using oxygen
Fermentation
The stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs
Interphase
A change in a gene or chromosome
Mutation
An organism that makes its own food
Autotroph
The stage when sunlight energy is stored by a plant
Stage 1 of photosynthesis
A colored chemical compound that absorbs light
Pigment
The process by which plants and some other organisms capture energy in sunlight and use it to make food
Photosynthesis
Two substances that photosynthesis produces
Oxygen and Glucose (sugar)
A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria
Chlorophyll
Two substances that cellular respiration produces
Carbon dioxide and water
A double rod of condensed chromatin. It contains DNA that carries genetic information
Chromosome
A disease in which some body cells grow and divide uncontrollably, damaging the parts of the body around them
Cancer
The process by which cells break down simple food molecules to release the energy they contain
Respiration
The stage of the cell cycle during which the cell's nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one copy of the DNA is distributed into each new daughter cell
Mitosis
The location where stage 2 of cellular respiration takes place
Mitochondria
