Plant and Animal Cells
This organelle is known as the “powerhouse of the cell.”
Mitochondria
This type of reproduction requires only one parent.
This is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and performs normal functions.
Interphase
A random change in the DNA.
Mutation
What do white blood cells do in the body?
White blood cells are essential components of the immune system produced in the bone marrow.
They protect the body against infections, foreign invaders, and diseases.
This organelle contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis in plant cells.
Chloroplast
This is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
Diffusion
This is the phase where daughter chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell.
Anaphase
The process of cancer cells breaking away from original tumour and establishing another tumour elsewhere in the body
Metastasis
These animal cells carry oxygen throughout the body using hemoglobin.
Red blood cells
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport.
Golgi Apparatus
This process moves water from high to low concentration.
Osmosis
Sister chromatids are held together by this structure.
Centromere
These are natural “control points” in the cell cycle that stop damaged cells from dividing.
Checkpoints
These animal cells transmit electrical signals and are essential for communication in the body.
Nerve cells (neurons)
This organelle contains digestive enzymes that break down waste and old cell parts.
Lysosome
All organisms grow and by increasing the ______ of cells and not the ______ of the cells.
1. Number
2. Size
During mitosis, these structures pull the chromosomes apart to opposite ends of the cell.
Spindle Fibres
Name one example of a genetic mutation discussed in class.
These specialized plant cells regulate gas exchange by opening and closing pores in the leaf.
Guard cells (stomata)
This network of membranes is studded with ribosomes and helps synthesize proteins.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
What are three things that cell division is important for:
1. Growth 2. Repair 3. Reproduction
How is cytokinesis different in plant cells vs. animal cells?
In plant cells, a plate between the daughter cells develops into a new cell wall.
In an animal cell, the cell membrane is pinched off in the centre.
Doctors can treat cancer using surgery, chemotherapy, or this method that uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells.
Radiation therapy
Some animals are active mainly at night and others that live deep in the ocean have cells that can emit light.
Photophores
