Prokaryote vs Eukaryote
has no nucleus or specialized organelles.
What is a prokaryote?
The longest phase in the cell cycle, 80-90% of the time is spent in this phase.
What is interphase?
Provides cell with both structural support and protection.
What is a cell wall?
No cell energy needed.
What is passive transport?
This scientist saw cell division.
Who is Rudolph Virchow?
includes plants, animals and protists.
What is a eukaryote?
Prokaryotes, like bacteria, are known to use this method to reproduce.
What is binary fission?
Jelly-like fluid where organelles are suspended.
What is the cytoplasm?
Moving across the membrane against concentration gradient (low to high concentration).
What is active transport?
Known as the father of microbiology.
Who is Antonie van Leeuwenhoek?
organelle unique to eukaryotes that houses DNA.
What is the nucleus?
The phase where mitosis first starts.
What is prophase?
Storage of substances like water and nutrients.

There is more solute outside of a cell than inside. The cell is ____________.
What is hypertonic?
What is the cytoskeleton?
Is this phase the sister chromatids are pulled apart by spindle fibers.
What is anaphase?
Only in plant cells, this organelle conducts photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
Material moves into cell.
What is endocytosis?
There is equal solute outside and inside of the cell. The cell is ____________.
This organelle synthesizes proteins. This organelle is in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
What are ribosomes?
division of cytoplasm, the cell splits into two new cells.
What is cytokinesis?
Protects the cell, regulates what enters/exits.
What is the cell membrane?
Water moves from high to low concentration.
There is less solute outside of a cell than inside. The cell is ____________.
