Cytology Unit Test Flashcards
What does cell division occur for
Growth, Repair, and Reproduction
What is Diffusion
The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
What benefits does being a small cell give
small Volume to Surface Area ratio. This allows the cell to get more oxygen and carbon dioxide
What are the 4 stages in a cells cycle
Mitosis, Gap1, Gap2, Gap0, Synthesis
What is Mitosis
The division of a cell
What happens in Gap1
The cell prepares by gaining energy
What happens in Gap2
The cell prepares by gaining energy
What happens in Gap0
Nothing, the cell rests
What happens in synthesis
the DNA is copied
What are the stages of Mitosis
Interface, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What happens in interface
interface is when the cell is not in mitosis. The cell has a nuclear membrane, 2 centrioles, DNA, and no spindle
What happens in Prophase
Nuclear membrane starts dissolving
Centrioles pairs start moving
DNA becomes chromosones
Spindle begins to develop
What happens in metaphase
Chromosones are lined up
centrioles are at the poles
full spindle
What happens in anaphase
The chromosones are serperated and begin moving towards the poles
What happens in telophase
The nucleaur membrane is reforming
