| A | B |
| Hypertonic | More salt outside, causing cell to lose water and shrivel |
| Hypotonic | More salt inside, causing cell to gain water and swell |
| Isotonic | Same amount of salt inside and outside, so cell stays the same size |
| Nucleus | Control center of the cell. Contains DNA |
| Cell Wall | Supports and protects the cell. Found in plants, algae, fungi, and some bacteria. |
| Cell Membrane | Controls what enters and leaves the cell. |
| Ribosome | Site of protein synthesis. |
| Mitochondria | Site of cellular respiration (where ATP is made). Powerhouse of the cell. |
| Chloroplast | Site of photosynthesis. Contains chlorophyll. Only found in plants, algae, and some bacteria. |
| Prophase | First and longest phase of mitosis / meiosis. Chromatin coils into chromosomes and nuclear membrane breaks down. |
| Metaphase | Second phase of mitosis / meiosis. Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. |
| Anaphase | Third phase of mitosis / meiosis. The chromosomes are pulled apart, to opposite sides of the cell. |
| Telophase | Last phase of mitosis / meiosis. Chromosomes are in two new cells and nuclear membranes start to reform. |
| Cytokinesis | The division of the cytoplasm during mitosis / meiosis. |
