Biology

• The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains the cell's genetic material.
• Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy through aerobic respiration.
• The cytoplasm is where most chemical reactions take place, including protein synthesis.
• During prophase, DNA copies itself and chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell.
• Chromosomes are comprised of linear strands of genetic material (DNA) that contain genes.
• The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA) that controls all cellular activities.
• Mitosis consists of 4 stages that lead to the division of a single cell into two identical daughter cells.
• The radicle is the embryonic root of the seed.
• Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy through cellular respiration.
• The cytoplasm is the gel-like substance that fills most of the cell, containing organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum.
• Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis.
• Ribosomes synthesize proteins using information from DNA.
• Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials within cells.
• In metaphase, spindle fibers attach to centromeres on the chromatids and pull them apart towards opposite poles of the cell.
• Plant cells contain chloroplasts that carry out photosynthesis.
