Cell Cycle And Importance Of Cell Division

Question 1

Why do cells divide

Answer 1

They divide for 3 reasons,1. Reproduction 2. Growth 3. Repair injuries by replacing old cells in an organism

Question 2

Diffusion

Answer 2

Particles move from an area of high concentration to low concentration

Question 3

3 stages through which a cell passes as it grows and divides

Answer 3

Stage 1. Interphase
stage 2 mitosis
stage 3. Cytokinesis

Question 4

Interphase

Answer 4

Performs all life functions of cell
Grows in size and organelles are doubled
DNA is copied

Question 5

Mitosis

Answer 5

The division or separation of DNA and organelles to opposite sides of cell

Question 6

Cytokineses

Answer 6

The cell cytoplasm and organelles are physically separated are then formed into 2 identical cells by either

Cell membrane pinching off to form 2 new cells (animal cells)

A cell plate forming in the middle and develops into a cell wall (plant cells)

Question 7

A cell will remain in interphase when…

Answer 7

Not enough nutrients for growth
DNA has not been replicated
DNA is damaged
Surrounding cells signals indicate to not divide
