Name the Organelle
The "brain" of the cell
Nucleus
Ribosomes
Protein factories of the cell- sends proteins to the golgi body
Cell division process required for sexual reproduction
Do plant or animal cells have a cell wall?
Plant cells
Powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
Cell membrane
Regulates the passage in and out of the cell- encloses the cell
Name the step: chromosomes duplicate themselves and shrink by coiling to prepare for cellular division
1- prophase
Male haploid cell (sperm) fuses with a female haploid cell (egg) is called...
Fertilization
True or False: Animal cells have chloroplasts
False - plant cells have chloroplasts not animal cells
Cell storage
Vacuole
Lysosomes
Recycles old cells that are used to make new cells
Name the step: Chromosomes line up neatly end to end along the center of the cell
2- Metaphase
True or False: Meiosis divides a "parent" cell twice into 6 "daughter" haploid cells
False: The parent cell is divided into 4 daughter cells, not 6
Why is mitosis important?
Mitosis is essential for the human body for new cell growth, repair, and maintenance
Liquid that fills the cell
Cytoplasm
Site of cellular respiration- converts oxygen and glucose into energy
Name the step: Sister chromatids are pulled apart breaking the X into two individual chromatids
3- Anaphase
Why is meiosis important?
Meiosis is important because it ensures that organisms produced by sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes.
How long does Mitosis take to complete?
0.5 - 1.5 hours
Shipping and distribution department
Golgi apparatus
Cytoplasm
Contains proteins, gives cell its shape, and breaks down waste
Name the step: Each side of the separating cell has a full set of chromosomes- nuclear membrane forms and cell pinches to form two separate daughter cells
4- telophase
True or False: Meiosis also produces genetic variation by sharing bits of DNA during prophase I
True
Mitosis and meiosis are both a form of ______.
Cell division
