Cell Components
This is at the center of the cell, containing genetic material
Nucleus
An essential structure for energy production in eukaryotic cells, but you won't find me in bacteria
Mitochondria
Prokaryotic cells lack this membrane-bound structure, containing the cell's DNA.
Nucleus
This process moves molecules across the cell membrane without using energy.
Diffusion
The period of growth and preparation for cell division.
Interphase
These structures are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for cellular respiration.
Mitochondria
In general, which type of cell is significantly smaller: prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Prokaryotic
This fills the cell and suspends the organelles.
Cytoplasm
Large molecules and particles enter the cell through this process.
Endocytosis
Chromosomes replicate during this phase of cell division.
S phase
This membranous network transports materials throughout the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Between eukaryotes and prokaryotes which type of cell has compartments?
Eukaryotes
The outermost layer of the animal cell, controlling what enters and leaves.
Plasma Membrane
Waste products and other molecules leave the cell through this process.
Exocytosis
Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell during this phase.
Anaphase
Found in plant cells, this rigid structure provides support and protection.
Cell Wall
Which cell has 70s Ribosomes?
Prokaryotes
These structures are found in plant and animal cells and help cells move.
Cytoskeleton
These channel proteins allow specific molecules to pass through the cell membrane.
Channel Proteins
New cell membranes form around the separated chromosomes, creating two daughter cells.
Telophase
Lysosomes are the cell's ____, breaking down waste and foreign invaders.
digestive system
Which type of cell has a circular DNA?
Prokaryotes
Multicellular organisms have these specialized cells that perform specific
Tissues
The concentration of a substance outside the cell compared to its concentration inside.
Gradient
This uncontrolled cell division is a hallmark of cancer
Mitosis
