| the longest phase of the cell cycle | interphase |
| cells actually split apart | cytokinesis |
| a group of tissues working together | organs |
| animal cells | create two identical but separate cells |
| plant cells | the cell split apart but creates a plate that keeps it attached to the mother cell |
