Animal Cell Organelles
This organelle is often called the "control center" of the cell.
Nucleus
Cancer is caused by the uncontrolled division of these.
Cells
The basic unit of all living things.
Cell
These cells carry oxygen in the blood.
Red blood cells
The phase where the cell grows and carries out normal functions.
Interphase
These tiny structures are the site of protein synthesis.
ribosomes
This term describes a mass of abnormal cells.
Tumor
This part of cell theory explains that your first cell came from both your mother and father's cells
All cells come from pre-existing cells
Long, thin cells that transmit electrical signals.
Neurons (nerve cells)
The process by which the cytoplasm divides.
Cytokinesis
This structure stores proteins until they are needed elsewhere
Golgi Apparatus
a tumour which invades neighbouring cells and access the blood supply.
malignant
the cell is the basic unit of life (the smallest thing that can be said to be "living")
These cells engulf pathogens as part of the immune system.
white blood cells
The phase where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
Metaphase
The "powerhouse" of the cell, where cellular respiration occurs.
Mitochondria
the treatment type which attacks rapidly dividing cells
chemotherapy
organisms made up of many cells are called...
multicellular organisms
Explain how a muscle cell structure helps its function
it can stretch and shorten to help move the skeleton
What is DNA called when the cell is in interphase?
chromatin
the "recycling machine" of the cell
lysosome
this type of treatment uses high-energy to kill the cancer cells
radiation
organisms made up of only one cell are called...
unicellular organisms
Explain how a skin cell structure helps it perform its function
it is flat and forms many layers to protect the outer surface of the organism
If a cell normally has 46 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would be counted during telophase of mitosis?
