| Anaphase | the phase of mitosis when the chromosome pairs split and start to move towards the poles of the cell |
| Telophase | the final phase of mitosis- when the chromosomes reach the poles and a nuclear membrane forms two new nuclei |
| Endocytosis | active transport moving materials into a cell |
| Exocytosis | active transport moving materials out of a cell |
| Cytokinesis | when the cytoplasm splits into two halves to make two new cells |
