You may use the stop button on the lower left hand side of the interactive at
any time. To begin playing again you will need to click the large forward arrow.
Structures that perform all of the tasks that keep an organism alive are
called______________.
The tasks that the cell performs include:
On the right hand side of this chart, you will fill in the name of the organelle
described, that performs the job listed on the left hand side of the chart.
ORGANELLE
JOB THAT IT PERFORMS
The jellylike substance that fills the cell.
Organelles float in this.
The cell’s command center that directs all
of the cell's activities. Contains genetic
information.
Provides the energy for the cell. They use
oxygen taken in by the cell to release
energy.
Packages and transports material within
the cell.
Builds proteins
Processes materials for storage or to be
transported out of the cell.
Store and transport materials.
Contain chemicals that break down
substances in the cell.
Protective covering that separates the cell
from its outside environment.
Why are centrioles so important in cell division?

_____________________________ are structures found in a cell’s nucleus (center) and are made
of _____________. Chromosomes _________________ and ________________ during mitosis and
meiosis. A sex cell created by meiosis, either sperm or egg, has ___________ the number of
chromosomes as the parent cell. When sex cells join, they create new cells with
_______________ the chromosomes from each individual and therefore, a ________________ of
characteristics from each parent.
Genotype describes the ___________ _____________ ____________ of an individual. A
person’s genotype tells us exactly what ____________ _________ ___________. You
cannot see someone’s genetic makeup. Genotypes are _____ ______________.
Phenotypes are the _________________ __________ of an individual which the individual’s
genes have expressed.

5.01 The Cell
 What is considered the basic unit of life?

What are the four special characteristics of all living things?

What is the difference between unicellular and multicellular?

Why is the nucleus so important to the function of the cell?
** Use the Cell Study Guide found in the Lesson Tab to determine
the different organelles and their functions in the cell. **
5.02 Mitosis
 What is the purpose of Mitosis?

Describe what is happening in each of the following phases of Mitosis:
* Interphase
* Prophase
* Metaphase
* Anaphase
* Telophase

What roll do centrioles play in Mitosis?
5.03 Meiosis
 What is the purpose of Meiosis?

What step occurs in Meiosis 1, that does NOT occur in Meiosis 2? (Remember, this step is vital is
duplicating the chromosomes for division.)

Why are there only 23 chromosomes in each of the four cells, at the end of Meiosis?
