BIO Flashcards
pairs of epidermal cells that control gas diusion by
regulating the opening and closure of stomatal pores.
GUARD CELLS
provide an internal hydrophobic surface facilitating water
transport as well as mechanical strength.
XYLEM CELLS
uptake of water and nutrients from the soil
ROOT HAIR CELLS
this enables them to collect more nutrients and water.
Lateral elongation
process of cell growth and division in eukaryotes that is
divided into phases based on what is happening in the
cell at a given time.
The Cell Cycle
the cell is engaged in growth and metabolic activities
and can be further broken down into three discrete
phases called g1, S, and g2.
Interphase
cell grows during the?
G1 PHASE
○ dna replication occurs producing two copies of each chromosome so future cells will each have a
complete set of the genetic instructions in the dna.
S PHASE
after DNA replication is complete, cells enter the g2
phase, they continue to grow & prepare for cell division.
G2 PHASE
cells are not actively preparing to divide.
G0 PHASE
check for nutrients, growth factors, and dna damage
g1 checkpoint
check for nutrients, growth factors, and dna damage
g1 checkpoint
check for cell size and dna replication
g2 checkpoint
check for chromosome spindle attachment
metaphase checkpoint
a complex series of events move the dna so that a
complete set of genetic instructions will be sent to
each daughter cell.
M Phase
the longest phase of mitosis.
PROPHASE
refers to each identical copy of a single chromosome.
SISTERM CHROMATIDS
begin to fan out from two sets of paired structures called
centrioles.
SPINDLE FIBERS
attaches the sister chromatids together.
CENTROMERE
begin to fan out from two sets of paired structures called
centrioles.
