Interphase |
Among/Between Condition --the longest phase --DNA replicates --cell prepares to divide |
|
Prophase |
Before condtion --Chromatin condenses into chromosomes --Spindle fibers appear --Chromosomes pair up --Nucelar membrane breaks down |
|
Metaphase |
Beyond or after condition --Chromosomes line up in the middle of cell --Centromeres attach to spindle fibers |
|
Anaphase |
Back or a new condition --Chromosomes separate and move away from each other |
|
Telophase |
For a distant condition --Chromosomes stretch --New nuclear membrane forms |
|
Cytokinesis |
Cell Monument --Cytoplasm divides --Cell membrane pinches in and two new cells are formed |
|
Nucleus |
large, round/oval structure usually located near the center of the cell it is the control center for all cell activities |
|
Cell Membrane |
Thin, flexible envelope that surrounds the cell it allows the cell to change shape and controls what goes in and out |
|
ER |
Thin, flexible envelope that surrounds the cell it allows the cell to change shape and controls what goes in and out |
|
Ribosomes |
Small grain-like bodies made mostly of RNA and produced in the nucleolus Proteins are constructed here |
|
Nucleolus |
Small, dense object found in the middle of the nucleus it makes the RNA for the cell |
|
Cytoplasm |
Jelly-like area between the nucleus and the cell membrane Helps the organelles move throughout the cell |
|
Mitochondria |
Tiny bean-shaped structures in the cytoplasm with a smooth outer membrane and a greatly folded inner membrane They supply the energy for teh cell by transforming sugar into energy |
|
Chromosomes |
Rod-shaped bodies in the nucleaus made of DNA They contain the info to run the cell and pass on hereditary traits of the cell to new ones |
|
Lysosomes |
Small round structures in teh cytoplasm that contains chlorophyll. it captures the sun's energy to produce food, in teh form of sugar, for itself through photosynthesis |
|
Vacuole |
Large, round sac in the cytoplasm that stores water, food or wastes |
|
Organelles |
Include the cell wall, cell membrane, and nucleus |
|
Cell Wall |
The rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds plant cells |
|
Are cells alive? |
yes |
|
Plants cells |
have chloroplasts |
|
Four types of animal cells |
1. Bone 2. Brain 3. Skin 4. Muscle |
|
Do all cells do the same thing? |
NO |
|
Fastest growing organ in the body |

|
What tells cells what to do? |
Genes |
|
What makes up genes? |
DNA |
|
How many chromosomes do we get from each parent? |
23 |
|
Two types of blood cells |
Red and white blood cells |
