Biology 1 Flashcards
Label an animal cell
You can do it!
What are the steps to mitosis?
Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
What happens during interphase?
The cell carries on its normal activities but near the end of its cycle
The chromatids duplicate to form sister chromatids they are connected by a centromere
What stage is the longest of the cell cycle?
Interphase
What happens during prophase?
The centrioles duplicate and the pairs move to opposite sides of the cells
Spindle fibres extend from the centrioles
Chromatin shortens and thickens
The nuclear membrane and nucleus dissolves
In late prophase, the spindle fibres attach to the centromeres
What happens during metaphase?
The paired chromatids line up in the middle of the cell
Movement is slow so the spindle fibres don’t get tangled
What happens during anaphase?
The centromeres split apart
The spindle fibres pull the sister chromatids to the opposite sides of the cell and are called daughter chromosomes
What happens during telophase?
The nucleus and nuclear membrane reappear
The cell membrane starts to pinch in
Chromosomes become chromatin again
Cytokinesis begins
What happens during cytokinesis?
The rest of the cell divides and the cell membrane forms again. Pinching of the cell is called furrowing.
How is plant cytokinesis different from animal cell cytokinesis?
A cell plate forms in a plant cell which helps separate the daughter cells
What are the 6 ways plant and animal cells are different?
Animal cells/Plant Cells Many vacuoles/one vacuole No chloroplast/chloroplast No cell wall/cell wall Lysosomes/ no lysosomes Centrioles/no centrioles
What is diffusion?
The movement of chemicals from an area of high concentration to low concentration
What is osmosis?
The movement of WATER molecules through a semi permeable membrane towards a region of high solute concentration
Magnification in high, medium and low power
Use magnification formula
Field of view questions
Yay
What happened to the e?
The e mirrored and flipped upside down
Label a microscope
Go!
What are the three main functions of a cell?
Transporting materials (osmosis, diffusion), using energy and dividing
What are the two ways a cell transports materials?
Diffusion and osmosis
How do cells use energy?
To carry out their normal functions and through the combustion reaction in the mitochondria
(Know formula)
What are the characteristics of living things? (6)
Composed of cells Grow Limited life span Reproduce Use energy for maintenance and growth Make changes in response to stimulus
What is the cell theory? (3)
All living things are made up of cells
The cell is the simplest unit that can carry out life’s processes
All cells come from pre-existing cells
What is the formula for magnification?
Magnification of ocular x mag of objective
What is resolution?
The ability to see fine detail
