Cell Division Allows Organisms To…
Transfer Genetic Material To Offspring
Unicellular Generates A New
Organism
Multicellular Produces New
Cells For OVERALL Cell Development
In order to divide a cell, a cell needs to
duplicate/divide genetic content to it’s 2 daughter cells
Cell cycle is a series of
divisions and duplications
Interphase is __% of a cell’s life
78%
List the 3 parts of Interphase
G1, S, G2
In G1, cells
Grow
In S phase, cells
Replicate the genome
In G2, all protiens are
synthesized
Cell Division includes what 2 procces’s
Meiosis and Mitosis
List the 5 phases of Mitosis
Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Stroma
Fluid filled soace
Chlorophyll absorbs ___ & ___, but reflects ___
red & blue, green
light-independent reactions take place in the
stroma
What is photosynthesis
the process that converts sunlight energy into a simple sugar called glucose
glucose can be used as a
short-term energy source or to build more complex carbohydrates like starches for long-term energy storage
Also known as primary producers, they provide the energy necessary to the organisms that eat them, which are known as consumers
Autotrpohs
Organisms that can photosynthesize are rather
diverse such as cynobacteria
In eukaryotic cells, photosynthesis takes place in an organelle called the
chloroplast
Chloroplasts appear green due to its high content of the pigment
chlorophyll
Pigments are molecules that absorb
light at certain wavelengths
