Organelles
The powerhouse of the cell, creates ATP energy
Mitochondria
This is the smallest unit of life (that we studied) that makes up all living things
cell
In Interphase, the nucleus is filled with these
Chromatids
Single cases that hold one piece of DNA
chromatids
2
The brain of the cell, holds the DNA
Nucleus
groups of specialized cells grouped together to do one job
tissues
In Prophase (2nd step), these form
Chromosomes
These are 2 joined casings, with 2 pieces of DNA involved in splitting apart during Mitosis
chromosomes
this organelle takes in foreign cells or old organelles and digests them to destroy them
lisosome
Protects both plant and animal cells, lets things in and out
cell membrane
a group of organs that all do one same job
organ system
In metaphase (3rd step), this happens
The chromosomes line up down the middle of the cell
These grab on to chromosomes/chromatids during Metaphase and Anaphase
spindle fibers
This organelle engages in photosynthesis, creates energy for plant cells
chloroplast
protects plant cells, gives them structure and protection
A cell with a special structure that helps its function
specialized cell
This happens in telophase (5th step)
2 separate cells begin to form, the cell stretches out and cleaves
This type of reproduction requires to parents and creates a unique offspring
sexual reproduction
This is an example of a tissue
nerve, muscle, connective, or epithelial (animals)
xylem or phloem (plants)
creates proteins (in the form of ribosomes) and lipids (fats)
Endoplasmic Reticulum
This is made up of at least two types of tissues designed to do one specific job and a few side jobs
organ
In Anaphase (4th step), this happens
chromosomes split down the middle, chromatids are pulled to begin forming 2 separate cells.
This type of reproduction involves one single parent dividing itself to create 2 identical offsprings
asexual reproduction
This is an example of an organ system
Digestive system, respiratory system (animals)
Root system, shoot system (plants)
