DAY 2 Flashcards
Prophase
nucleoli disappears; mitotic spindle forms in between pairs of centrioles
Interphase
DNA is replicated; cell grows and develops
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 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 division is completed in this stage
Anaphase
chromatids are separated into identical sets of chromosomes and begin moving toward opposite ends of the parent cell
Cytokinesis
division of the parent cell’s cytoplasm; occurs in conjunction with telophase
Cell Cycle
sequence of phases consisting of cell growth and division; important to an organism’s 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 during the cell cycle in which the nucleus is divided resulting in identical daughter cells
Chromosome
contains genetic information in the form of DNA
