    • 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.
