In G1, G2 the metaphase is shown the cell.
What is growing properly?
The cell is the basic unit of life.
All cells come from pre-existing cells.
All organisms are composed of cells.
What are the tenets of the cell theory?
Responsible for shot-term energy storage.
What are carbohydrates?
A fluid inside the cell that houses other organelles in the cell.
What is cytoplasm?
Water-loving and Water-fearing.

Storage and transfer of genetic information
What is Nucleic Acids?
Releases energy from food for the cell's use and also the site of aerobic respiration.

The movement of substances from an area of high to low concentration through a channel
What is facilitated diffusion?
List the cell cycle
What are the interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis?
