Skin cancer
49

Chromatids
50
The stage of the cell cycle where two daughter cells are formed and chromatids unwind is
Telophase
51
The stage of the cell cycle where chromosomes are visible and nuclear membrane dissolves is
Prophase
52
The stage of the cell cycle where the chromosomes line up
Metaphase
53
The stage of the cell cycle where the chromosomes begin to split
Anaphase
54
What is the process of plants converting the Sun's energy into food?
Photosynthesis
55
This organ is part of the digestive system, makes bile and stores it in the gall bladder. Located in the chest area.
Liver
56
The path food takes after the stomach. Part of the digestive system and is where bile from the liver is stored. Fat from food is broken down here to later be converted to energy.
Gall bladder
