Q

What part of a cell takes the RNA and turns it into amino acids?

A

The ribosomes.

17
Q

Which part of the cell is the “post office” that packages and sends the protiens off?

A

The Golgi apparatus.

18
Q

What part of a cell synthesises fats and detoxifies a cell?

A

The smooth er

SMOOTH - SYNTHESISES

19
Q

What part of a cell would break things down using enzymes?

A

The lyosome

Y in lyosome - Y in enzymes

20
Q

What part of a cell would break things down using oxygen or hyrogen peroxide?

A

the perioxisome

O in periOxisomes - o in oxygen

21
Q

What organelle can copy itself?

A

The mitochondria

22
Q

What are the 3 main stages of a cell cycle?

A

IMC

Interphase
Mitosis
Cytokenesis

23
Q

What are the stages of Interphase?

A

G1, S, G2

24
Q

What are the stages of mitosis

A

PMAT

P - Prophase
M - Metaphase
A - Anaphase
T - Telophase

25
Q

What happens in the prophase part of mitosis?

A

prophase sets the stage for the subsequent events in mitosis. It involves the condensation of chromatin into distinct chromosomes, breakdown of the nuclear envelope, formation of the mitotic spindle, and attachment of chromosomes to the spindle fibers

26
Q

What happens in the anaphase part of mitosis?

A

anaphase is the stage of mitosis when the sister chromatids separate, and the chromosomes are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell, ensuring that each new cell will receive the correct number of chromosomes

27
Q

What happens in the metaphase part of mitosis?

A

metaphase is the stage of mitosis where the chromosomes align along the metaphase plate, ensuring their proper distribution to the daughter cells

28
Q

What happens in the telophase part of mitosis?

A

Telophase marks the end of mitosis, and it transitions into the subsequent interphase, where the cells prepare for their normal functions or further rounds of division.

29
Q

What is differentation?

A

Differentiation refers to the process by which cells become specialized in structure and function

30
Q

What are stem cells?

A

undifferentiated cells with the potential to develop into various types of cells

31
Q

What is active transport?

A

Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient

32
Q

What is passive transport?

A

passive transport does not require energy and follows the concentration gradient

33
Q

What is bulk transport?

A

Bulk transport involves the transport of large molecules or particles through endocytosis (cellular uptake) or exocytosis (cellular release)

34
Q

What leads to the formation of cancer cells?

A

defects in cell division and differentiation can lead to the formation of cancer cells

35
Q

What are cancer cells?

A

less differentiated cells
