100

The most basic structural unit of an animal.

What is a cell?

100

Also known as a cell wall or plasma membrane. Responsible for holding a cell together.

What is a cell membrane?

100

A reaction that occurs in the body in which chemicals are broken down and used by the body.

What is metabolism?

100

This type of cell division involves the division of somatic cells, which aid in the body's growth and repair and involves five stages.

What is Mitosis?

100

This tissue covers the body's surface, lines internal organs, and serves as a protective layer

What is epithelial tissue?

200

These are also known as fats and combine hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon into a form that does not dissolve well in water.

What are lipids?

200

Referred to as the "brain" of the cell and is located in the center of a cell.

What is the nucleus?

200
During this type of metabolism, smaller particles combine to form larger particles

What is Anabolism?

200
During this first stage of mitosis, a single cell forms genetic material called chromatin within the nucleus

What is Interphase?

200
This type of connective tissue is responsible for connecting muscle to bone

What are tendons?

300
These supply energy and aid in the structure inside a cell

What are carbohydrates?

300

The fluid part of the cell that allows the cell's internal structure to move. 

What is the cytoplasm?

300
Refers to the buildup of excessive fluid within tissue (e.g., "pulmonary edema")

What is edema?

300

Second stage of cell division that begins when chromatin thickens and forms a chromosome.

What is Prophase?

300
A hairlike extension from a the neuron that carries a nerve impulse

What is an axon?

400

This molecule contains a double-helix structure formed by nitrogen base pairs of adenine (A) with thymine (T) and guanine (G) with cytosine (C) and is the carrier of genetic material.

What is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)?

400

Part of the cell that makes energy and often referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell". 

What is the mitochondria?

400
Type of metabolism in which larger particles break down into smaller particles

What is Catabolism?

400

During this third stage of mitosis chromosomes split and begin to move outward in a "V" shape

What is Metaphase?

400

Type of connective tissue that connects bone to bone

What are ligaments?

500

This nucleic acid is present in all living cells and acts as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins. 

What is RNA (ribonucleic acid)?

500

A collection of folded membranes lined with ribosomes that are attached to the nucleus

What is the endoplasmic reticulum?

500

Process in which a substance moves from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration

What is active transport?

500

The final stage of cell division that results in the creation of two or four new cells

What is Telophase?

500
These are THREE types of muscle tissue found in an animal's body
What are smooth, skeletal, and cardiac tissue?
