What is the nucleus?
The chemical that makes up RNA and DNA.
What is nucleic acid?
The powerhouse of the cell.
What is mitochondrion?
The green pigment found in plant cells.
What is chlorophyll?
The process by which the DNA in a cell no longer is able to function.
What is aging?
The center of the nucleus where ribosomes are created.
The small protein molecules that provide structure to DNA strands.
What are histones?
Where protein synthesis takes place.
What is ribsome?

What is the nuclear lamina?
The teeth of a DNA strand that are also the genes.
What are nitrogenous bases?
The gel-like organelle that suspends the organelles within the cell.
What is cytoplasm?

What is the perinuclear space?
The two pyrimidines of the nitrogenous bases.
What are thymine and cytosine?
Provides support and structure to the plant cell and is mostly made from cellulose.
What is the cell wall?
These organelles absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant.
What are chloroplasts?
A new protein technology that allows geneticists to replace nitrogenous bases in order to create new mutations.
What is CRISPR?

What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
The 2 key components that make chromatin.
What are histones and DNA?
The "stomach" of the cell that contains digestive enzymes.
What is a lysosome?
The process where CO2, H2O, and protons create sugar and oxygen.
What is photosynthesis?
When a cell shrinks forcing the organelles to leave the cell body and form blebs.
