  • Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy through aerobic respiration.
  • Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
  • Nucleus contains genetic material (DNA) and controls all activities within the cell.
  • Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are involved in photosynthesis.
  • Cell membrane regulates what enters or leaves the cell.
  • Ribosome synthesizes proteins using information from DNA.
  • Vacuole stores food and waste products.
  • Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance inside the cell membrane where most reactions take place.
  • The function of the small intestine is to absorb nutrients from food.
  • Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells.
  • Ribosomes are structures where proteins are made.
  • During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, nuclear envelope breaks down, centrioles move to opposite poles, spindle fibers form, and kinetochore microtubules attach to kinetochores on sister chromatids.
  • Plasmids are small circular DNA molecules found outside the main bacterial chromosome, capable of replicating independently.
  • Cytoskeleton provides structure and movement to the cell.
  • Mitochondria produce energy through aerobic respiration.
  • Bacteria are prokaryotes that can be found everywhere on Earth and play important roles in ecosystems.
  • Nucleus contains genetic material (DNA) that controls all activities within the cell.
  • Vacuole stores food, waste products, and maintains turgor pressure.
