16
Q

Mitochondria

A

Organelle specialized to synthesize ATP enclosed in a double unit membrane with infoldings of the inner membrane called cristae

17
Q

Centrioles

A

An organelle composed of a short cylinder of 9 triplets of micro tubules, usually paired with another centriole perpendicular to it, origin of mitosis spindle, identical to basal body of a cilium or flagellum

18
Q

Cytosol

A

A clear, featureless, gelatinous, colloid where the organelles and other internal structures of a cell are embedded

19
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Consisting of cytosol, organelles, inclusions, and the cytoskeleton

20
Q

Chromatin

A

Filamentous material in the interphase nucleus, composed of DNA and associated proteins

21
Q

Chromosome

A

A complex of DNA and protein carrying the genetic material of a cells nucleus, normally 46 chromosomes in nucleus
23 pairs, 46 unpaired

22
Q

What happens during interphase

A

G1 Cell synthesizes proteins, grows and carries out preordained tasks for the body
S cell makes duplicate copy of its centrioles and nuclear DNA
G2 cell grows more, makes more organelles, finishes centriole replication, synthesizes enzymes that control cell division , checks copied DNA and repairs errors

23
Q

Mitosis

A

Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis

24
Q

Interphase

A

Normal cell, no dark dna in nucleus

25
Q

Prophase

A

Dark strands in nucleus, spaghetti

26
Q

Metaphase

A

Chromatin lined up in center of cell

27
Q

Anaphase

A

Chromatin being pulled apart by centrioles

28
Q

Telophase

A

Further apart than anaphase

29
Q

Cytokinesis

A

Cleavage furrow present, cell splits
