Organelles
The brain of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
This type of cell helps carry O2 TO our body and CO2 OUT of our body
What are red blood cells?
This is the stage cells spend most of their life.
What is interphase?
This is the first phase of mitosis.
What is prophase?
These are the 4 types of tissue.
What are skin/epithelial, muscular, connective, and nerve?
The powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
This type of cell sends electrical signals to our brain.
What are nerve cells?
When the cell fully splits into 2 identical cells.
What is cytokinesis?
The chromosomes line up in the middle during this phase.
What is metaphase?
This is an example of a body part that contains all 4 tissues.
What is the arm/leg/hand/feet/chest?
This controls what goes in and out of the cell (like security).
What is the cell membrane?
This type of cell protects our organs from external factors/damage.
What are skin/epithelial cells?
What are the four stages of mitosis?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
2 nuclei (1 in each cell) start to reform during this stage.
What is telophase?
This human organ system defends the body against infections.
What is the immune system?
This is found only in plants and makes food from sunlight.
What is the chloroplast?
This type of cell has MANY mitochondria to provide it with lots of energy for its job.
What are muscle cells?
These are the 3 reasons a cell divides.
What are growth, repair, and reproduction?
This is what happens during anaphase.
What is the chromosomes are pulled apart?
This human organ system is responsible for the removal of LIQUID waste.
What is the excretory system?
These make proteins (the "workers" of the cell.)
What are ribosomes?
What must a stem cell undergo before becoming a specialized cell?
Differentiation
This is the scientific term for the "life cycle" of a cell (includes interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis).
A chromosome is made up of 2 of these (held together with a centromere).
What are chromatids?
This is the order of the hierarchy of our body from smallest to largest.
What is cells -> tissues -> organs -> organ systems -> organism?
