Q

Mitosis

A

The process of cell division in which a cell divides into two cells identical to the parent cell

19
Q

5 stages of mitosis

A

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase

20
Q

Interphase

A

Time cell is maturing, metabolizing, and functioning according to design

21
Q

Prophase

A

When the DNA becomes larger and more defined; The chromatids begin to migrate to opposite sides of the cell

22
Q

Metaphase

A

The chromosomes arrange themselves around the equatorial plane and are held in place by the microtubules

23
Q

Anaphase

A

duplicated chromatids are separated and pulled tword the polls of the cell

24
Q

Telophase

A

The chromosomes begin to uncoil; new nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomses

25
Meiosis
cell division that takes place in the sex organs to produce the egg and sperm required for fertilizaton
26
4 activities of cells
Vegetative, Growth, Reproduction, and Specialization
27
Vegetative
maintence of the cells such as absorption, assimilation, and excretion of waste products
28
Growth
Building essential proteins for growth, repair, and adapting
29
Reproduction
process of meiosis or indirect divison of cells
30
Specialization
differenct cells perform different functions; contractibility, secrete and absorb, and nerve impulses
31
Metabolism
the process taking place in living organisms whereby the cells are norished and carry out their activities
32
Phases of metabolism
Anabolism and Catabolism
33
Anabolism
The process of building larger molecules from smaller ones; uses up stored energy from catabolism
34
Catabolism
Breaking down larger complex molecules into smaller ones; while harvesting their energy and storing it
35
Cell membrane
Transports materials between the outside and inside of the cell, helps control cell activity, and contains cellular material
36
Endoplasmic reticulum
There are two varieties: a smooth type that produces lipid and rough type both transport materials within the cells
37
Golgi apparatus
Collects the products of cell synthesis, synthesises carbohydrates, holds proteins molucles for secretion
38
Lysosome
Digests proteins, carbohydrates, and other foreign substances that enter the cell
39
MItochondria
Contains enzymes for releasing energy by breaking down glucose and generating most of the cell's energy
40
Nucleolus
Forms ribosomes
41
Nucleus
Stores the genetic code for each cell and the body as a whole
42
Ribosome
Sythesizes protine
43
Vacuole
Involved in rapid ejection of fluids or introduction of substances
44
Chromosomes
thread-like structures located within the nucleus of a cell, composed of DNA tightly coiled around proteins
