|
Chloroplast
|
large irregular shaped organelle that contains the pigment chlorophyll: the food making site in green plants.

|
|
Chromosome
|
rod shaped structure that directs the activities of the cell and passes on the traits of the organism to a new cell

|
|
Cytoplasm
|
all the living material in the cell outside of the nucleus.

DNA
|
(deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule that stores the information needed to build proteins and carries genetic information about the organism

|
|
Meiosis
|
process that results in a cell with only half of the normal number of chromosomes (formation of gametes)
|
|
|
Mitochondria
|
rod shaped organelles which supply most or the energy for the cell:
(Powerhouse of the cell) |

|
Nucleus
|
the structure that directs all the activities of the cell
|
|
|
Organelles
|
small structures that help carry out the day to day operations of the cell

|
|
Regeneration
|
a type of asexual reproduction in which the whole organism grows from just a part or the parent orgainism
|
|
|
RNA
|
(ribonucleic acid) molecule that "reads" the genetic information carried by the DNA and guides the protein making process
|
|
|
Sexual Reproduction
|
a new organism is produced by combining sex cell of two parents
|
|
|
Spindle Fibers
|
an assemblage of microtububles that orchestrates chromosomal movement during eukaryotic cell division

a reproductive call that forms a new organism without fertilization
|
|
|
Vacuole
|
a large sac in the cytoplasm if a cell that stores food, water, enzymes, and other materials
|
|
|
Vegetative Propagation
|
when a new plant grows from a piece of the parent plant
|
|
|
Ribosomes
|
grain like body made up of RNA and attached to the inner surface of endoplasmic reticulum,(a protein making site of the cell)
|
