Cells and Cell Structures
The name for simple, single celled organisms that do not contain a true nucleus
What are Prokaryotes?
The stage of the Cell Cycle in which the cell spends the majority of its time.
What is interphase?
The stage of mitosis when cytoplasm is divided to form two new cells.
What is cytokinesis?
The name for a group of diseases in which cells grow and divide out of controll.
What is cancer?
These cells have the ability to become any type of cell.
What are specialized cells?
This organelle is used during the process of photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
This type of reproduction requires two parents and produces offsprings that contain a mixture of genetic information from both parents.
What is sexual reproduction?
All the chromosomes align at this place.
What is the metaphase plate?
These types of tumors are not cancerous.
What are benign tumors?
The name of the process by which specialized cells are produced?
What is cell differentiation?
This organelle is responsible for protecting plant cells and controlling the movement of materials in and out of the cell.
What is the cell wall?
The names of the three main stages of the cell life cycle.
What are Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis?
The structure that forms down the middle of the cell at the end of a plant’s cytokinesis phase.
What is the Cell Plate?
True or false, cancer screening can help prevent cancer?
What is false?
These types of cells conduct electrical impulses to send signals throughout the body.
What are neurons (nerve cells)?
These two organelles are only found in plant cells and not in animal cells.
What are cell wall and chloroplasts?
The name of the structures that are formed when chromatin (DNA) condenses.
What are chromosomes?
This breaks down during mitosis to release the chromosomes.
What is Nuclear Membrane (Envelope)?
The name for the term that results in random changes in DNA.
What are mutations?
These types of cells are contractile and require a lot of energy so they contain many mitochondria.
What are muscle cells (myocytes)?

What are Golgi Bodies?
The stage of the cell life cycle where DNA is separated.
What is Mitosis?
The organelle responsible for making spindle fibers for cell division.
What are centrioles?
This type of cancer treatment is used to destroy cancer cells using drugs and chemicals.
What is chemotherapy?
These types of plant cells are found on the surface of leaves and help to control water loss due to transpiration.
