Q

Name 5 things that occur during prophase.

A
  1. Chromatin fibres condense into visible chromosomes
  2. The nucleolus disappears
  3. The nuclear envelope breaks down
  4. The centrioles are pushed to opposite poles by lengthening microtubules
  5. Spindle fibres form and asters are visible around centrioles

Q

What occurs during metaphase? (1)

A
  1. The microtubules of the spindle fibres align the centromeres of each of each pair of chromatids at the metaphase plate.

Q

Name two things that occur during Anaphase?

A
  1. The centromeres split and the chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles
  2. The chromatids are now called chromosomes and appears V - shaped

Q

Name four things that occur during Telophase.

A
  1. Chromosomes are at the poles and begin to uncoil into chromatin
  2. The nuclear envelope reforms around the chromatin
  3. The nucleoli reappear
  4. The spindle breaks down
17
Q

What is Cytokinesis?

A

Cytokinesis begins in late anaphase, with a slight indent in the plasma membrane called the cleavage furrow. It is the process of microfilaments contracting to pull the plasma membrane inward. This marks the completion of cell division into two daughter cells

18
Q

True or False:

Daughter cells are genetically different then the parent cell after mitosis

A

False: they are genetically the same as the parent cell after mitosis

19
Q

How many chromosomes are present during anaphase?

A

2 chromosomes are present during anaphase

20
Q

What is one possible reason that chromatin fibres condense before dividing?

A

Because it is easier to separate the chromatin when it is condensed rather then when it is able to roam freely

21
Q

What is Blastula?

A

An embryonic phase of development that occurs shortly after fertilization, this is when the embryo is undergoing rapid cell division.

22
Q

What is the plasma membrane?

A

A physical barrier that surrounds each cell separating it from the environment and regulating which substances pass into and out of the cell.
The plasma membrane specifically is a semipermeable phospholipid bilayer.

23
Q

Name the two types of transport that can occur across the membrane.

A
  1. Passive transport.

2. Active transport

24
Q

What is Brownian Motion?

A

States that all molecules have kinetic energy and are constantly colliding with adjacent molecules.

25
Q

What is passive process?

A

Molecules that move along their concentration gradients requiring not energy for the movement of the molecules

26
Q

Name three passive processes.

A
  1. Filtration
  2. Diffusion
  3. Osmosis
27
Q

What is active process?

A

Requires the use of energy (adenosine triphosphate = ATP), water-soluble substances are moved against their concentration or electrical gradient

28
Q

Name two forms of active process.

A
  1. Active transport

2. Vesicular transport

29
Q

What is diffusion?

A

Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration of a certain molecule, the driving force behind diffusion is kinetic energy.

30
Q

What is Osmosis?

A

A type of simple diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration

31
Q

What is a solute?

A

Is any substance that dissolves in another

32
Q

What is a solution?

A

The result of dissolved solute becomes a solution

33
Q

What is a solvent?

A

The substance that the solute dissolves in

34
Q

What does it mean to be hypotonic?

A

A solution with a lower concentration of solute is said to be hypotonic to the solution with the higher concentration of solute

35
Q

What does it mean to be hypertonic?

A

The solutions with the higher concentration of solute is said to be hypertonic to the solution with a lower concentration of solute.

36
Q

What does it mean to be isotonic?

A

Two solutions with equal concentrations are said to be isotonic

37
Q

What does hemolysis refer to?

A

When a Red blood cell (erythrocytes) is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell, eventually causing the cell to burst

38
Q

What does it mean when a cell crenates?

A

When a Red Blood Cell (erythrocytes) is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cytosol and enter the solution outside the cell. The cell appears crenated aka shrivelled with spiked edges

39
Q

What do you use as a negative control for starch?

A

Iodine
