The process of a parent cell creating two daughter cells
Mitosis
This organelle surrounds an animal cell and acts like a gate
Cell Membrane
This level of specialization is the individual thing; the basic unit of all living things
Cells
The jelly filler of the cell
Cytoplasm
1: An organism made of only one cell is considered to be _________________
2: An organism made of two or more cells is considered to be _______________
1. Unicellular
2. Multicellular
Cells are in this phase the longest; G1, S, G2 happen here
Interphase
This organelle helps the ER make proteins
Ribosome
Tissues grouped together that perform a similar job
Organ
Directs all cell activity; where DNA is stored
Nucleus
Cells with membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotic Cells
The nuclear membrane is dissolved in this step of mitosis and chromatin is turned into chromosomes
Prophase
A series of folded membranes in which materials can be processed and moved around inside the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Cells grouped together to form a similar job
Tissues
Tough, rigid outer covering of a plant cell
Cell wall
Cells without membrane bound organelles
Prokaryotic Cells
Two nuclei are present in this process of cell division
Telophase
Golgi Body
Organ System
Muscle cells have a lot of this organelle inside them because they release lots of energy
Mitochondria
What tool was important in the development of the cell theory?
The microscope
Cell division has occured and the cytoplasm has completely split into two new cells
Cytokinesis
This organelle is where food is made in a plant cell, it captures light energy and makes sugar called glucose
Chloroplast
1. This cell specializes in moving oxygen around the body; it can bend and move into small areas
2. This cell specializes in sending electrical impulses from the body to the brain
1. A blood cell
2. A Nerve Cell
The storage facility inside a cell
Vacuole
Name the 3 statements of the Cell Theory
1. All living things are made of one or more cells
2. Cells are the smallest unit of life
3. Living cells come from other living cells
