is a part of the cell cycle in which chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes, and each set ends up in its own nucleus.
mitosis
1 of 7
is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes, which are made up of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases

2 of 7
a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.
respiration
3 of 7
is the process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen. Cells break down food in the mitochondria in a long, multistep process that produces roughly 36 ATP. The first step in is glycolysis, the second is the citric acid cycle and the third is t
areobic respiration
4 of 7
is a form of respiration using electron acceptors other than oxygen. Although oxygen is not used as the final electron acceptor, the process still uses a respiratory electron transport chain; it is respiration without oxygen.
anaerobic respiration
5 of 7
a temporary oxygen shortage in the body tissues arising from exercise.
oxygen debt
6 of 7
is an organic compound with the formula CH₃CHCO₂H. It is a white, water-soluble solid or clear liquid that is produced both naturally and synthetically.
