What is the name of the final stage of the cell cycle where we have the final division of one cell into two daughter cells?
Cytokinesis
This is a mass of cancer cells.
Tumour
This grape like part of the respiratory system is where gas exchange occurs (oxygen gas is exchanged with carbon dioxide).

In this phase of mitosis, spindle fibers pull daughter chromosomes into opposite sides of the cell.
Anaphase
An environmental factor that can cause cancer.
Carcinogen
This is where most of the absorption of nutrients takes place in the digestive system.
The small intestine
This type of scan uses radioactive materials to see within someone's body.
PET scan
What key organelle lets us know we are looking at a plant cell?
Chloroplast
This is a reason why cells divide.
1. Growth
2. Reproduction
3. Repair and Replacement
This donut shaped cell is responsible for transporting oxygen to cells and carbon dioxide away from cells.
Red blood cells
This hair like projection in the airway traps dust and bacteria and sweeps it away to keep the airway clear.
