|
Process of Building up complex materials (proteins) from simple materials.
|
anabolism
|
|
|
Process of breaking down complex materials (food) to form simpler substances and release energy.
|
catabolism
|
|
|
Structure surrounding and protecting the cell. It determines what enters and leeaves the cell.
|
cell membrane
|
|
|
Rod-shaped structures in the nucleus that contain regions of DNA called genes. There are 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) in every cell except for the egg & sperm cells, which contain only 23 individual, unpaired chomosomes.
|
chromosomes

|
Picture of chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell. The chromosomes are arranged in numerical order to determine their number and structure.
|
karyotype
|
|
|
The total of the chemical process in a cell. It includes both catabolism and anobolism.
|
mitochondria
|
|
|
