Q

What is cytokinesis

A

Following mitosis, cytokinesis must occur: this is the seperation of the two nuclei and cell contents into two daughter cells. In plant cells, a cell plate forms during cytokinesis that helps form the cell wall. Not a stage of mitosis but is a significant event that signifies the end of mitosis and the start of a new cell cycle.

Q

Healthy Cells

A

usually don’t reproduce when isolated from their other tissue cells. This is because they communicate cell to cell. They adhere to each other well and communicate to work together. They keep and balance between cell destruction and cell growth

False
29
What is the chloroplasts?
Traps energy from the sun to make glucose(Plant only)
30
What is homeostasis?
The maintenance of a balanced state of constant conditions within a cell
31
What is equilibrium?
Based on the constant movement of all particles to establish a uniform concentration throughout.
32
What is isotonic?
Equal movement in and out of the cell (homeostasis)
33
What is hypotonic?
If the extra cellular fluid (ECF) has a lower concentration of solutes than the cytoplasm the cell will move water molecules into the cell (causing it to expand)
34
What is hypertonic?
If the extra cellular fluid (ECF) has a higher concentration of solutes than the cytoplasm the cell will move water out of the cell (causing it to shrink)
35
What is osmosis?
The movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
36
TRUE OR FALSE The medulla oblongata controls the rate and depth of breathing
True
37
A large vein that carries oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium from the upper parts of the body
Superior Vena Cava
38
The left lower chamber of the heart; it pumps the blood through the aortic valve into the aorta

Septum
40
The blood vessel that carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs
pulmonary artery
41
The valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle
bicuspid valve
42
The valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
tricuspid valve
43
Branching nerve fibers running from the apex upwards along the ventricle of the heart

44
the blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart
pulmonary vein
45
What is the cell cycle?
It is the continuous sequence of cell growth and division including the stages of interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis.
46
How long does a full cell cycle to complete in most cells?
800 minutes.
47
What is interphase?
it includes the periods of cell growth (G1 andG2) and the stage of DNA replication (S stage).
48
What is apoptosis?
When cells leave the cell cycle to die because they are damaged beyond repair or they are simply not needed
49
How does cancer develops?
Cancer occurs when the cell cycle fails (ignores the checkpoints) and abnormal cell division begins (this is caused by mutations). These cells then multiply rapidly and form a tumor.
50
Why do cell mutations occur?
They can occur due to chance or carcinogens
51
What are carcinogens
they include toxic chemicals radiation and viral infections

74
Organs included in the skeletal system?
bones
75
Function of the stem
Responsible for physical support and transportation of water nutrients and sugars
76
Function of the leaves
responsible for photosynthesis
77
Function of the roots
responsible for anchoring the plant in the soil and the uptake of water and minerals from the soil. Some roots also act as a storage region for the plant
78
What is dermal tissue
outermost covering of the plant's organs that forms a barrier between the the plant and its external environment. Protects the delicate internal tissues of the plant and controls the exchange of water and gases between the plant and the external environment
79
Function of ground tissue
responsible for many functions including photosynthesis and support
80
Function of vascular tissue
Transports water, nutrients and sugars throughout the plant as well as providing support
81
Meristems
unlike most animals plants are able to continue growing throughout their entire lifespan.This is because the meristem is always active, causing the plant to grow upwards and downwards
82
Types of roots
Tap roots and fibrous roots
83
Xylem cells
DeadTransport water from the roots to other parts of the plan against the force of gravityFound in the vascular bundle
84
Pholem
LivingTransports sugar from the leaves to other parts of the plant with the force of gravityfound in the vascular bundle
85
Tap roots
One main root that grows larger and thicker than the rest so the plant can get water from deep in the groundAlso firmly anchors the plant
86
Fibrous roots
Shallow branching roots that spread out horizontally near the surface of the soil to provide a large surface area for water absorptionAlso stabilize the soil to prevent erosion and landslides
87
What is the stamen made out of
anther filament
88

FoodMedicinePaintsDecoration Land Stabilization
89
what is pistil made out of?
ovary, style, stigma
