Cell Structure
The "highway" of the cell. A series of tubes that carries materials throughout the cell.
What is the Cell Membrane.
The first stage of the cell cycle.
What is Interphase.
This is the tube that FOOD travels down in the human body.
What is the Esophagus.
Tendons, Ligaments, and Cartilage are all examples of this type of tissue.
What is connective tissue.
This system works by transporting blood throughout the body.
What is the Circulatory System.
The control centre of the cell.
What is the Nucleus.
The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this stage of mitosis.
What is Metaphase.
These are cells that divide uncontrollably.
What are cancer cells.
This type of tissue allows for body parts to move, exert force, or change shape.
What is muscle tissue.
In the digestive system the mouth completes these two types of digestion.
What are chemical and physical digestion.
Chemical reactions that occur here make energy for the cell.
What is the Mitochondria.
This is the end product of the cell cycle (HINT what do you have after cytokinesis is completed).
What are two identical daughter cells.
The diffusion of water molecules across a semi permeable membrane.
What is osmosis.
This is a cell that has been differentiated for a specific task.
What is a specialized cell.
The heart pumps this type of blood to the rest of the body through the arteries.
What is oxygen-rich blood.
These store nutrients and materials for the cell. (Much larger in plants).
What is a Vacuole.
The genetic instructions for the cell are found in this unique molecule.
What is DNA.
These two organ systems work together to facilitate movement.
What are the muscular and skeletal systems (Musculoskeletal system).
This type of tissue's main function is protection however also completes secretion, absorption, and excretion.
What is epithelial tissue.
The brain is the main organ of this organ system.
What is the Nervous System.
Where photosynthesis occurs.
What is the chloroplast.
The term used to identify non-condensed DNA. (HINT think spaghetti)
What is chromatin.
This is an organized group of tissues that work together to perform a specific task.
What is an Organ.
This type of specialized cell has long extensions that allow them to carry messages through out the body.
What are nerve cells.
These tiny blood vessels surround the alveoli and play a role in gas exchange.
What are the capillaries.
