Q

What are the 3 parts of cell theory?

A
  • all organisms are made up of one or more cells
  • all cells cary on life activities
  • new cells arise from other living cells by the process of cell division

Q

what are vacuoles

what cells are they found in

A

a vacuole is what contains the proteins and minerals inside the cell
they are found in both cells but plant cells have larger ones then animals cells

Q

what is a nucleus

what cells are they found in

A

a nucleus has 3 parts
the nucleus itself is what contains the dna
the nuclear membrane is what protects the nucleus
the nuclear pores is what allows molecules to move in and out of the nucleus
the nucleolus is inside of the nucleus and it contains the info to separate protein
this is all found in both cells
near the edge of cell in animals
in middle of cell in plant

Q

what are endoplasmic reticulum (e.r)

what cell is it found in

A
e.r is what transports the materials in the cell
there are smooth e.r and rough e.r
smooth=no ribosomes 
rough =ribosomes 
found in both cells

Q

what is the first function of cell division

A

healing and tissue repair

  • continues to replace damaged or dying cells
  • you need to have different cells or else you’d shrivel up and die

Q

what is the second function of cell division

A

growth

  • your growth depends on cell division
  • the bigger amount of cells on organism, the bigger you’ll be
  • as cells are continuously growing, if the cell gets too big it won’t work as well, so they divide
17
Q

what is the third function of cell division

A

reproduction of organisms

  • the division of cells is vital to reproduce organisms
  • we all start as one cell(egg) and are now made of a trillion
  • single celles organisms can only reproduce but cell division
18
Q

what is the cells cycle

A
  • all cells come from pre-exciting cells
  • cells alternate stages of dividing and not dividing
  • it will spend most of its time in interphase collecting proteins and materials to grow and divide
  • it then goes through mitosis
19
Q

what is cancer and what causes it

A

cancer is uncontrolled cell division

it is caused by damaged dna

20
Q

what’s the difference between a benign tumour and a malignant tumour

A

benign tumour= non cancerous, does not spread, less dangerous
malignant tumour=cancerous, can spread, more dangerous

21
Q

what are some characteristics of cancer cells

A

lack differentiation
has abnormal nuclei
forms tumours

22
Q

5 examples fo was to prevent cancer

A
eat healthy
exercise 
stay tobacco free
low fat diet
avoid sun exposure
23
Q

what is mitosis

A

process of the nuclear material (chromosomes) in the cell is divided

24
Q

what is the first stage of mitosis

explain

A

interphase

cell grows and is preparing for cell division and duplication of the chromosomes

25
Q

what is the second stage of mitosis

A

prophase

the dna condenses into chromosomes. the nuclear membrane begins to disappear

26
Q

what is the thirds stage of mitosis

A

metaphase

the double stranded chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell

27
Q

what so the fourth stage of mitosis

A

anaphase

each set of chromosomes are splits and each half is pulled to opposite ends of cell

28
Q

what do the fifth stage of mitosis

A

telophase
the chromosomes reach the opposite poles and the nuclear membrane begins to reform

cytokinesis begins and the cell divides into 2 daughter cells

29
Q

what is cytokinesis

A

the process where he rest of the cell (cytoplasm, organelles, etc) are divided
