Mit-o-sis A condition of thread; Simple cell reproduction (cloning)
Chromosome development Prophase
Chromosome alignment on spindle fibers Metaphase
Chromsome separation into chromatids at each pole Anaphase
Completion of cell division into two daughter cells. Telephase
Micr-o-scop-ic Pertaining to a small view; clinically refers to something that requires visualization by microscope
Cyt-o-logy The study of cells

Cellular Membrane Outer most structure that forms an envelope or "skin" around all of the intracellular components. Composed of lipids and proteins.
Smooth ER Complex network of canals and flattened sacs throughout the cytoplasm of a cell. It appears rough microscopically because of the many ribosomes attached to it.
Ribosomes Tiny spherical organelles responsible for the production of things like proteins
DNA deoxyribonucleic acid
