Term

True or False?

 

Large cells CAN transport nutrients across the cell membrane?

Definition

FALSE

 

Large cells CANNOT transport nutrients across the cell membrane. 

Term

Which has a larger surface area?

 

1) A group of smaller cells

 

2) 1 single cell, with the same volume as the smaller cell group

Definition
1 A group of smaller cells has a larger surface area.
Term
What is Osmosis?
Definition
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules, through a cell's partially permeable membrane.
Term
What is diffusion?
Definition
Diffusion is defined as the net movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration.
Term
What 2 processes do cells use to obtain nutrients?
Definition

OSMOSIS

and

DIFFUSION

Term
Define Cell Division
Definition
A process by which a cell splits into 2 IDENTICAL daughter cells.
Term
What are the 2 MAIN phases of cell division?
Definition

1) INTERPHASE (cell copies DNA and prepares for division)

2) M PHASE (chromosomes separate into 2 NEW cells) 

Term
What happens during interphase?
Definition
cell copies DNA and prepares for division
Term
What happens during the M Phase?
Definition
Chromosomes separate into 2 new cells.
Term

Term
What are the phases of the cell cycle? There are 6
Definition
  1. INTERPHASE
  2. PROPHASE
  3. METAPHASE
  4. ANAPHASE
  5. TELEPHASE
  6. CYTOKINESIS
Term
What are the 5 steps of Prophase?
Definition
  1. Chromosomes visible (chromatids)
  2. Centrioles migrate to the poles
  3. Nuclear membrane disappears
  4. Nucleolus disappears
  5. spindle forms[image]
Term
What happens during Telophase?
Definition
  1. Chromosomes disappear -- Chromatin
  2. nuclear membrane reforms
  3. nucleoli reappears
  4. spindle disappears
  5. centrioles duplicate[image]
Term
What happens during metaphase?
Definition

*Chromosomes line up on the equator (middle of the cell) 

*Spindle attaches [image]

Term
What happens during Anaphase?
Definition
Chromatids separate and move to the opposite poles[image]
Term
What is Cytokinesis?
Definition
  1. Division of the cytoplasm to form 2 new DAUGHTER cells

  2. Organelles are divided

  3. Daughter cells are genetically IDENTICAL.

 

Cells return to interphase!

What are Chromosomes?

 

Definition

 

DNA containing cell’s genetic code

 

  • Thread like structures of nucleic acids and proteins found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes. 
Term
In which phase of the cell cycle do Chromosomes copy itself?
Definition

 

INTERPHASE

Term
What is a chromatid?
Definition
  • Each of the 2 thread-like strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division. 
  • Each contains a double helix of DNA
Term
What is Chromatin?
Definition
  • The material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria (id, eukaryotes) are composed, consisting of proteins, RNA and DNA
Term
Cell division in plants: Name 2 big differences from animal cells?
Definition
  1. A plant cell DOES NOT have centrioles that form
  2. A plant cell will produce a CELL PLATE during telophase, which will mature during cytokinesis, that will fully form to officially divide the cell. Basically, this CELL PLATE forms the new cell wall of the daughter cell. 
Term
Name this phase of cell division?[image]
Definition
*BOTH* Telephase and Cytokinesis are happening here at the same time.

Picture of the Cell Cycle and Mitosis 

Definition

The Cell Cycle has 4 phases: G1, S, G2, and M
