Cells
Control Centre of the Cell
Nucleus
The stage in mitosis where the chromosomes line up in the centre of the cell
Metaphase
Cancer is cause by the ______ division of abnormal cells
uncontrolled
The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration
Diffusion
The organ system responsible for processing food and removing solid wastes
Digestive
A structure found in plant cells but not animal cells. It is responsible for photosynthesis.
Chloroplast
During this phase of interphase the cell makes a copy of its DNA
S phase
A tumor that does not affect surrounding cells, other than overcrowding them
A benign tumor
Large molecules such as salt and sugar which dissolve in water, and can't pass through membranes without energy
Solute
This imaging technique is used to look at individual cells
Microscopy
This organelle is responsible for making proteins
Ribosomes
The name of the process by which cell division occurs.
Mitosis
A environmental factor that causes cancer

It will get bigger (water moves in by osmosis)
This imaging technique uses sound waves, and is not a form of radiation
ultrasound
A compartment that stores water and nutrients.
Vacuole
The process which begins during telophase and results in the cytoplasm being split in two.
Cytokinesis
Uses chemicals to stop cancer cells from dividing
Chemotherapy
Osmosis is an example of _______ transport
passive
This organ system creates a protective barrier around the body and includes the hair, skin and nails
Integumentary
Thread-like structures that hold the genetic information of the cell.
Chromosomes
The organelle which moves chromosomes around the cell during mitosis
Spindle fibres
The process by which a piece of a tumor spreads to another part of the body
Metastasis
A cell has 40% solute concentration and it's external environment has 60% solute concentration. Which direction will water go?
From inside the cell to outside
