Photosynthesis | The process in which some organisms use water along with sunlight and carbon dioxide to make their own food. |
Pigment | A colored chemical that absorbs light. |
Stomata | Small openings on a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move. |
Respiration | The process by which cells break down simple food molecules to release the energy they contain. |
Fermentation | The process by which cells break down molecules to release energy without using oxygen. |
Cell Cycle | The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo. |
Interphase | The stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs. |
Replication | The process by which a cell copy of the DNA in its nucleus. |
Mitosis | The stage of the cell cycle during which the cell's nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one copy of the DNA is distributed into each daughter cell. |
Chromosome | A double rod of condensed chromatin. |
Cytokinesis | The final stage of the cell cycle, in which the cell's cytoplasm divides, distributing the organelles into each two of the new cells. |
Centromere | The center of the chromosome. |
Chromatin | Chromosomes that are long and thin during the interphase. |

DNA | Deoxyribonucleic acid; the genetic material that carries information about an organism and is passed from parent to parent to offspring. |
Adenine | The nucleic acid that binds to thymine. |
Guanine | The nucleic acid that binds to cytosine. |
Thymine | The nucleic acid that binds to adenine. |
Centriole | Makes spindle fibers. |
