Cell Cycle
This is the longest phase of the cell cycle, where the cell grows and DNA replicates.
Answer: What is interphase?
This organelle breaks down damaged cell parts, acting like a recycling center or garbage disposal.
Answer: What are lysosomes?
This organelle acts as the “brain” or control center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
This is the basic unit of all living things.
What is a cell?
This scientist first observed cork under a microscope and named the tiny compartments “cells.”
Who is Robert Hooke?
This is the phase where DNA and RNA are created to prepare for cell division.
What is the Synthesis or S phase?
This structure controls what enters and exits the cell, like the glass walls of a fish tank.
What is the cell membrane?
This organelle produces ATP — the cell’s usable form of energy.
What are the mitochondria?
This is what we call a group of similar cells?
What is a Tissue?
This scientist concluded that all animals are made of cells.
Who is Theodor Schwann?
These two identical DNA copies are formed during the S phase and separate during mitosis.
Answer: What are sister chromatids?
These hair-like structures help move materials or sense the environment.
Answer: What are cilia?
These small structures make proteins needed for the cell’s structure and function.
What are ribosomes?
This is what several tissues working together are called.
What is an organ?
This statement is NOT part of the Cell Theory: “All cells contain this green organelle.”
What are chloroplasts?
This final process divides the cytoplasm to create two daughter cells.
Answer: What is cytokinesis?
This pair of organelles works together because one builds proteins, and the other provides the energy to power that process.
What are ribosomes and mitochondria?
What is the network of protein filaments that shapes a cell?
Cytoskeloton
This is what a group of organs working together is called.
What is an Organ system?
Virchow contributed to Cell Theory with this idea about how cells form.
What is all cells come from pre-existing cells?
List the three stages of interphase in order.
Answer: What are G1, S, and G2?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins,the shipping center of the cell.
Answer: What is the Golgi apparatus?
What is the second layer of a cell that surrounds the Nucleus and separates it from the rest of the cell
What is the Nuclear Envelope?
This is the name for a well-defined singular example of life that is composed of different cells, tissues, and organs all working together.
What is an organism?
These are the three main statements of Basic Cell Theory.
All living things are made of cells.
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function.
All cells come from pre-existing cells.
