Cell Cycle Flashcards
List the cell cycle phases in order
1-interphase
2-prophase
3-metaphase
4-anaphase
5-telophase
6-cytokinesis
What happens during interphase
The cell grows and matures 👵 the nuclear DNA 🧬 is duplicated
What happens during prosphase
The chromosomes condense into an X shaped structure
What happens during metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of cell
What happens during anaphase
Chromosomes separate
What happens during telophase
There’s identical chromosomes on either pole of the cell
What happens during cytokinesis
Division of cytoplasm
As cell size increases
The volume increases faster than surface area
Cube surface area formula
Length times Width times 6
Cube volume formula
Length times Width times Height
Where does a cell spend the majority of its life in
Interphase
What’s surface area
Area of the outside of a cell(plasma membrane)
What’s volume
Amount of space occupied by a substance
3 ways diffusion occurs
-simple diffusion
-osmosis
-facilitated diffusion
