Protective layer around cells
cell membrane
Directs the cell's activities
nucleus
This organelle is the transport system of the cell.
Endoplasmic reticulum
Movement of molecules from areas of high to low concentration
diffusion
The process of one cell dividing to produce two identical daughter cells.
mitosis
Structure that is only found in plants and is used to give them shape/support
cell wall
Creates protein
ribosomes
The presence of this organelle is the difference between smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum.
ribosomes
osmosis
This is the phase just prior to mitosis
Interphase
This organelle holds cell parts in place
cytoskeleton
Organelle where energy is released
mitochondria
Location of DNA in a cell
nucleus
Facilitated diffusion does not required energy for molecules to move, but does require ____ in the cell membrane.
transport proteins
This phase of mitosis has the chromosomes lined up down the middle of the cell.
Metaphase
Packages proteins and delivers them to other parts of the cell
Golgi apparatus
Cilia and flagella are an extension of this organelle
cytoskeleton
Organelle that is similar to the stomach.
lysosome
What would happen to a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution?
Shrivel or shrink
During this phase of mitosis the nuclear membrane dissolves and the chromatin strands thicken.
Prophase
Contains chemicals to break down cell parts or food particles
lysosome
Organelle where ribosomes are made
nucleolus
Paired organelles that help with cell division
centrioles
What would happen to a cell that is placed in a hypotonic solution?
It would expand and possibly rupture
This phase follows mitosis and finishes dividing the cell into 2 daughter cells.
cytokinesis
