Cell Structure And Function (2) Flashcards
Interphase
DNA is replicated; cell grows and develops.
Prophase
Nucleoli disappears; mitotic spindle forms in between pairs of centrioles.
Carbohydrates
Source of energy; contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; sugars and starches.
Metaphase
Chromatids align in the middle of the cell and are attached to a spindle structure that stretches to opposite ends of the cell.
Proteins
Composed of amino acids; large and complex; can be a hormone or enzyme.
Lipids
Source of energy; insoluble in water; includes fats, wax, and oils.
Telophase
Nuclear envelopes are formed around daughter cells nuclei; cell devision is completed in this stage.
Anaphase
Chromatids are separated into identical sets of chromosomes and begin moving towards opposite ends of the parent cell.
Cytokinesis
Division of the parent cells cytoplasm; occurs in conjunction with telophase.
Cell Cycle
Sequence of phases consisting of cell growth and division; important to an organisms growth and development.
DNA Replication
Transforms one strand of Nucleic acid into two sets so that each set may be passed on to daughter cells in cell division.
Mitosis
Phase durning the cell cycle in which the nucleus is divides resulting identical daughter cells.
Chromosome
Contains genetic information in the form of DNA.
