Cell functions (Life and Physical Sciences)

Cell division in eukaryotes that produces two daughter cells, each with the same chromosome number as the parent cell

Specialized cell division used to create haploid gametes in diploid organisms

Sugars and starches, which the body breaks down into glucose

Long molecules made of nucleotides; DNA and RNA

Molecules composed of amino acids joined by peptide bonds

A large organelle within a cell that houses the chromosomes and regulates the activities of the cell

A membrane that surrounds the cell and maintains its internal environment through the property of selective permeability

The material within a eukaryotic cell that supports and suspends structures inside the cell membrane and transfers materials required for cellular processes

A specialized part of a cell that has a specific function and is found in the cell’s cytoplasm

The site of energy production in a cell

A cell organelle that synthesizes and concentrates lipids in the cell; does not contain ribosomes

A protein-RNA complex that is the site of protein synthesis

A cell organelle that aids in digestion and the recycling of old cell materials

A cell organelle containing ribosomes that synthesizes and processes proteins in the cell

A cell organelle that serves as storage for a variety of substances, including water, toxins, and carbohydrates

The stage in meiosis I in which chromosomes condense and form homologous pairs

The stage in meiosis I in which pairs of homologous chromosomes align

The stage in meiosis I in which homologous chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell​​​​​​​

The stage in meiosis I in which nuclear membranes form as the cell separates into two haploid daughter cells with chromosomes consisting of two sister chromatids

The stage in meiosis II in which chromosomes in the haploid daughter cells condense

The stage in meiosis II in which individual chromosomes align

The stage in meiosis II in which sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell

One of the two duplicates of a chromosome formed during the cell cycle

The stage in meiosis II in which nuclear membranes form as the two daughter cells from meiosis I separate into four haploid daughter cells with chromosomes consisting of a single chromatid each
