INCLUSION BODIES
Used for the storage of waste and food
VACUOLE
INCLUSION BODIES
Useful for maintaining cell structure and water balance
VACUOLE
An orderly series of events where cells divide
CELL CYCLE
2 Divisions:
- Interphase
- Mitosis
a. Prophase
b. Metaphase
c. Anaphase
d. Telophase
Process of division that produces two daughter cells with identical chromosomal content of parent cell.
MITOSIS
A period in which chromosomes are NOT visible with light microscope, Living cells are NOT dividing
INTERPHASE
3 INTERVALS OF INTERPHASE:
- G1 –(growth or gap one) lengthy period after the nucleus divides; RNA are ribosomes are produced & cell increase in size
- S- synthesis- DNA replication takes place
- G2- (growth or gap two) mitochondria & other organelles divide; microtubules are produced; coiling & condensation of chromosomes begin
Where one cell divides into two and each of the two cells to produce two more daughter cells
MITOSIS
Location of cell division in mitosis
MERISTEM (found in the roots and stem tips)
Normally comes with mitosis; division of the remainder of the cell
CYTOKINESIS
The daughter cells have the EXACT number of chromosomes as the parent cell
MITOSIS
MITOSIS:
Condensing chromosomes (consists of 2 sister chromatids)
PROPHASE
MITOSIS:
Chromosomes lines up on the equator; Spindle microtubules
METAPHASE
MITOSIS:
Sister chromatids (now called chromosomes) move to opposite ends of cell
ANAPHASE
MITOSIS:
Has a cell plate and new nuclei
TELOPHASE
The division of the cytoplasm to form two new cells, overlaps with the final stages of mitosis.
CYTOKINESIS
Cell plate forms down the middle of the cell, splitting it into two daughter cells separated by a new wall.
CYTOKINESIS
A group of closely associated cells that perform related functions and are similar in structure.
TISSUES
Where tissues originated
MERISTEMS
Regions where cell divisions produce plant growth
MERISTEMS
3 Types of Meristems
- APICAL MERISTEMS
- LATERAL MERISTEMS
- INTERCALARY MERISTEMS
Lengthen stems and roots, Responsible for primary growth
APICAL MERISTEM
Cells that form apical meristems:
- EPIDERMAL/DERMAL TISSUES
