Cells

• Cell


  Basic unit of life
• Cytoplasm


  Holds the organelles
• Cell membrane


  Surrounds the cytoplasm
• Nucleus


  The "brain" of the cell
• Centriole


  Helps in the formation of spindle fibers
• Centromere


  Responsible for movement of the replicated chromosome
• Cytoskeleton


  Gives shape to the cell
• Ribosome


  Produces or synthesizes protein
• Nucleolus


  Produce and assemble ribosomes
• Prokaryotes


  Unicellular organisms
• Eukaryotes


  Multicellular organisms
• Binary fission


  Type of asexual reproduction
• Cellula


  Cell
• Gametes


  Cells that are used during sexual reproduction
• Cell cycle


  Ordered cycle of cell growth
• Chromosomes


  Thread-like materials that hold the organism's genetic material
• Cytokinesis


  The process of cell division that leads to the eventual division of the cytoplasm, resulting into 2 new cells
• Interphase


  The non-dividing phase and serves as the "resting stage"
• Gap 1


  Primary growth phase of the cell
• Synthesis


  During this time, DNA replication occurs
• DNA replication


  Process where the complete genetic information and chromosomes are duplicated
• Gap 2


  In this period, the cell continues to carry out its usual functions
• Gap 0


  Cell stops dividing and leaves the cycle as early as G1
