Types of Cells
These cells do not have a nucleus.
Prokaryotic
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
The cell membrane
The main function of mitochondria is the production of this molecule.
ATP
This is the first and longest stage of the cell cycle, where the cell grows and copies DNA.
Interphase
Cancer happens when cells lose control of this process.
The cell cycle (or cell division)
Cellulose cell wall; chloroplasts and vacuoles.
Plant cell
Known as the “powerhouse of the cell,” it produces energy.
Mitochondria
This organelle is responsible for digesting waste and old cell parts.
Lysosome
During this phase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
Metaphase
What do we call cells that grow and divide uncontrollably?
cancer cells
Name two similarities that both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells share.
cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA (any two)
This structure modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids.
Golgi apparatus
RNA is stored in this cell structure.
nucleolus
What is the result of the cell cycle?
Two daughter cells
A mass of abnormal cells formed when the cell cycle is uncontrolled is called a ____.
Tumor
Chitin Cell Wall; they are heterotrophs.
Fungal cells
This organelle is the site of protein synthesis.
Ribosome
Photosynthesis takes place in this organelle.
Chloroplast
Name the correct order of the mitosis stages
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What process normally tells unhealthy cells to “self-destruct”?
Apoptosis
These types of cells are generally larger and more complex.
Eukaryotic cells
The cytoskeleton is made up of these three types of protein filaments.
Microfilaments, microtubules, intermediate filaments
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is “rough” because it has these attached.
Ribosomes
What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?
Mitosis divides the nucleus; cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm.
How does chemotherapy target cancer cells, and why does it also affect healthy cells?
It targets rapidly dividing cells; it also affects normal fast-dividing cells
