• cellular respiration
• fermentation
• cytokinesis

The second stage of the cell cycle during which the cell’s nucleus divides into two nuclei and one set of DNA is distributed into each daughter cell 

• interphase
• mitosis
• cytokinesis
• metaphase

A green photosynthetic pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria

• chloroplasts
• mitochondria
• sister chromtids
• chlorophyll

The process by which a cell makes a copy of the DNA in its nucleus before cell division

• duplication
• copying
• replication
• doubling

an organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food

• consumer

• autotroph

The process in which oxygen and glucose undergo a complex series of chemical reactions inside cells releasing energy

• cellular respiration
• photosynthesis
• fermentation
• cytokinesis

The series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells

• cell cycle
• mitosis
• interphase
• cytokinesis

The first stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs, during which a cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA 

• anaphase
• cytokinesis
• mitosis
• interphase

A threadlike structure within a cell’s nucleus that contains DNA that is passes from one generation to the next.

• chromosome
• spindle fiber
• centriole
• centomere

• cytokinesis
• interphase
