| Phagocytosis | is performed to “eat” bacteria and waste products |
| Cytoskeleton | provides structure, support and assists with internal movement |
| Microfilaments | slender strands consisting of chains of actin molecules |
| actin | is a protein |
| Microfilaments | that provide structural support and mobility |
| Microfilaments | influences the cell shape |
| Microtubules | Provide structure (rigidity) |
| Microtubules | Involved in movement of organelles ‘railroad tracks’ |
| Microtubules | Involved in mitosis |
| Centrioles | growth center for microtubules |
| Centrioles | involved in cell division (mitosis) |
| Ribosomes | sites of protein synthesis, located on ER |
| Cilia and Flagella | Microtubules containing extensions of the plasma membrane |
| Cilia and Flagella | involved in cellular mobility (cell motion) |
| Cilia and Flagella | movement of fluids along cell surfaces |
| Cilia and Flagella | sensitive to environment |
| Metabolism | transformation, production or consumption of energy. |
| Anabolism | simple substances combine to form bigger/complex substances |
| Diffusion | random movement of molecules across the lipid bilayer |
| Diffusion | high concentration to low concentration |
| Osmosis | the diffusion of water across a membrane from high to low |
| Phagocytosis | when a cell actively engulfs a foreign body |
| Phagocytosis | The cell “eats” the foreign body |
| Phagocytosis | usually seen with white blood cells |
| Active Transport | works against the concentration gradient |
| Active Transport | brings in necessary nutrients w/o releasing internal fluid. |
| Mitosis | cellular division and replication process called |
| Mitosis | is the exact duplication of one cell into multiple cells |
| Mitosis | is replication of the same cell to form specific tissues/structures. |
| Interphase | All 23 pairs of chromosomes duplicate inside of the nucleus |
| Prophase | the nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear |
| Prophase | Long thread like bodies of chromatin become evident |
| Chromatin | random pieces of DNA that are present in the nucleus |
| Prophase | chromatin does not condense into chromosomes until this stage |
| Metaphase | alignment of chromosomes along the center line of the cell |
| Metaphase | threads from the spindle apparatus take hold of the chromosomes |
| Anaphase | separation of each chromosome into “sister chromatids.” |
| Anaphase | chromatids are pulled to the opposite side or poles of the cell. |
| Telophase | actual cellular division (separation) of the cell |
| cytokinesis | cleavage process known as |
| Tissue | Groups of closely associated cells that perform a specified function |
| Epithelial | Protects the body by covering/lining of all body cavities/surfaces. Epithelial Tissue |
| Epithelial Tissue Types | simple, stratified, pseudostatified or squamous. |
| Connective | Joins together other tissues through a matrix or framework |
| Connective Tissue | supports and protects the body |
| Connective tissue | is the most common type of tissue in the body. |
| Connective Tissue types | Collagen, bone, elastic fibers, adipose, blood, lymph |

| This mutated DNA is called a(n) | Oncogene |
| The study of cancer is | Oncology |
| Initiation | the DNA of the cell mutates & influences the cells to grow rapidly |
