theory that all living things are composed of living units called cells
What is cell theory?
produces fat and breaks down toxins and wastes
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
chemical substances such as glucose are broken down to produce energy
What is cellular respiration?
this protects against pathogens and other bacteria
What is the cell wall?
the ability to reproduce by constructing an exact cell copy
What is mitosis?
The liquid portion of a cell
What is cytoplasm?
burns carbohydrates and uses the energy to produce ATP
What are mitochondria?
known as cell eating
What is phagocytosis?
Where photosynthesis takes place
What are chloroplasts?
the reproductive process including G1, S, G2, and Mitosis
the cell cycle
the outermost part of a cell
What is the cell membrane?
perform photosynthesis in plants
What are chloroplasts?
known as cell drinking
What is pinocytosis?
This layer allows a plant to stand upright
What is the cell wall?
the first three phases G1, S, and G2 are collectively called
What is interphase?
the control center of the cell
What is the nucleus?
Construct proteins in the cell
What are ribosomes?
This preparatory phase of mitosis replicates chromosomes
What is interphase?
Robert Hooke observed thin sections of this kind of cell
What is cork?
during this phase the chromosomes become elongated then shorter and the cell dismantles its nucleolus
What is prophase?
Actively transports materials into and out of the cell
What is the cell membrane?
The intricate internal skeleton that helps maintain shape
What is the cytoskeleton?
This phase of mitosis reforms 2 nuclear membranes, DNA is uncoiled and 2 daughter cells are formed.
What is telophase?
true
fibers and centrosomes produce this apparatus or structure where chromosomes attach during metaphase
Spindle apparatus
