Cell Structure & Organelles
The organelle that controls all cell activities.
What is the nucleus?
The two main types of cells.
What are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
The function of the cell membrane.
What is to control what enters and exits the cell?
The longest type of human cell.
What is a nerve cell (neuron)?
The type of cell division that creates two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
The organelle responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP.
What is the mitochondrion?
The kingdom of organisms that lack a nucleus.
What are bacteria?
The process by which molecules move from high to low concentration.
What is diffusion?
The type of blood cell that helps fight infections.
What is a white blood cell?
The phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle.
What is metaphase?
The organelle that acts as the "packaging center" of the cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
The type of eukaryotic cell that contains chloroplasts.
What is a plant cell?
The process where water moves across a membrane.
What is osmosis?
The type of plant cells responsible for photosynthesis.
What are mesophyll cells?
The type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells)
What is meiosis?
The jelly-like substance that fills the cell and holds organelles in place.
What is cytoplasm?
The smallest living unit of life.
What is a cell?
The type of transport that requires energy (ATP).
What is active transport?
The organelle that breaks down waste and cellular debris.
What is the lysosome?
The structure that pulls chromosomes apart during mitosis.
What is the spindle fiber?
The structure found in plant cells but not in animal cells, providing support and protection.
What is the cell wall?
The three main parts of the cell theory.
All living things are made of cells.
Cells are the basic unit of life.
All cells come from pre-existing cells.
The type of endocytosis where a cell engulfs large particles ("cell eating").
What is phagocytosis?
The hair-like structures on some cells that help with movement.
What are cilia?
The phase in the cell cycle where the cell grows and duplicates its DNA.
What is interphase?
