Made up of DNA and tells the cell what to do.
What is a chromosome?
Building block of all living things.
What is a cell?
Cell division that ends with 2 new cells. It happens in body cells such as bone and skin.
What is mitosis?
The most simple form of cell division and is done by bacteria
What is binary fission?
A complex cell with a nucleus and organelles. "YOU" are an example of this kind of cell.
What is eukaryotic?
Where DNA is found inside the cell. It is also is the brain of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
Jello-O like substance that fills the cell and cushions what is inside.
What is cytoplasm?
The second phase of mitosis during which chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
Division of the cell at the end of mitosis.
What is cytokinesis?
Very simple cells with NO nucleus. Bacteria is an example.
What is prokaryotic?
Growth and repair.
Why do cells divide?
Goes around the outside of all cells and controls what goes in and out of the cell.
What is cell membrane?
The first phase of mitosis during which chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
What is prophase?
Cell division that results in 4 new cells It happens in reproductive cells such as egg and sperm cells.
What is meiosis?
The energy produced in plant and animal cells
What is ATP?
Binary fission, mitosis and meiosis are these.
What are 3 kinds of cell division?
Tiny organ like structures inside of the cell that have special jobs to do in the cell.
What is an organelle?
The third phase of mitosis during which chromosomes separate and move apart or away to the sides of the cell
What is anaphase?
What are the 4 letters that represent the 4 phases of mitosis?
What is P.M.A.T. ?
Organelles that are like factories and make proteins
What are ribosomes?
P.M.A.T. stand for the 4 stages of this.
What is a mitosis?
Organelle that turns food into energy the cell can use. It is a "mighty" important organelle
What are mitochondria?
The cell pinches in the middle and a new nucleus forms around each set of chromosomes.
What is telophase?
The phase of the cell when it grows and rests and when chromosomes are duplicated (copied).
What is interphase?
Takes sunlight and combines it with water and carbon dioxide (CO2) to make energy. Occurs in plant cells.
What is photosynthesis?
