Cell Models. For life all cells have basic needs. Cells have diverged in their structure and function to accommodate these survival requirements. Here are some KEY TERMS to help you think, explore and search for similarities and significant differences that have become the characteristics of eukaryote (animal, plant) and prokaryotic (bacteria) cells.
Examples might be searching: eukaryote prokaryote reproduction or animal plant cell energy. Reproduction / cell division Energy trapping, storage and consumption Form / shape / structure Cell specialization Compartmentalization of cell functions Communication within and beyond the cell Cell / organism survival.

DNA - The Double Helix. The Control of the Cell Cycle. What happens when a cell dies inside the body and how does the body know when to make new cells? The cell cycle is the series of events that take place as new cells grow and divide. In average this process takes about 24 hours for cells in mammals. This game is rather easy to complete if you are familiar with the different phases in the cell cycle. If you're not, pay extra attention to the image of the cell cycle in the introduction. As "Cell Division Supervisor" inside the cell nucleus, your job is to control cell division to make sure each stage of the cell cycle occurs in the correct order.
You also have to ensure the cell has successfully replicated its genetic material at specific checkpoints in the cell cycle. If you make more than three mistakes during one cell division, the cell will be destroyed and you will have to start again.
