Q

Microtubule function

A

framework of the cell, part of the cytoskeleton

17
Q

Mitochondria

A

harvests energy in the form of ATP, “powerhouse” of the cell

18
Q

Nucleus

A

contains the DNA, which provides instructions for making proteins; control center

19
Q

3 things in a plant cell that are not found in an animal cell:

A

cell wall, chloroplast, central vacuole

20
Q

How does the shape of a plant cell differ from that of an animal cell?

A

plant cells tend to be square or rectangular (due to cell wall); animal cells tend to be spherical

21
Q

chloroplasts function

A

chloroplasts absorb light, used in photosynthesis

22
Q

vacuole function

A

stores water (also involved in plant turgor pressure)

23
Q

mitochondria function. Why do plants need both chloroplasts and mitochondria?

A

mitochondria supply energy for the cell/ chloroplasts are used to make glucose, which is then used in cellular respiration by the mitochondria to make ATP

24
Q

Cell Division

A

Occurs in a series of stages, or phases

25
Q

Interphase

A

Chromosomes are copied (#doubles)= replication
Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils (chromatin) at the start, but each chromosome and its copy (sister chromosomes) change to sister chromatids

26
Q

Prophase

A

Mitosis begins (nucleus begins to divide)
Centrioles (or poles) appear and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell.
Spindle Fibers form between the poles
nuclear membrane
nucleolus disappears

27
Q

Meatphase

A

Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers
Chromosomes are lined up along equator or middle of the cell. Double stranded

28
Q

Anaphase

A

Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell
divide or tear the centromere

29
Q

Telophase

A

Two new nuclei form (Double Yolk Egg)
Chromosomes appear as chromatin (threads rather than rods)
Mitosis ends

29
Q

Telophase

A

Two new nuclei form (Double Yolk Egg)
Chromosomes appear as chromatin (threads rather than rods)
Mitosis ends

30
Q

Cytokinesis

A

Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells- each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.
