42
Q

Chitin Cell Wall; they are heterotrophs.

A

FUNGAL

43
Q
  • Its primary role lies in regulating the passage of substances, including nutrients and waste materials.
    -surrounds the cell and is a selective barrier between the interior and the exterior.
A

CELL MEMBRANE

44
Q
  • Its primary function is to store and safeguard genetic information, controlling gene expression and DNA replication.
  • An organelle that houses DNA, located in the center of eukaryotic cells.
A

CELL NUCLEUS

45
Q
  • It makes up the bulk of the cell and contains great quantities of all molecular components except DNA.
  • It plays a crucial role in biochemical reactions, energy production, and substance transport. Essential for cellular metabolism, it provides structural support to the cell.
A

cytoplasm

46
Q
  • A network of interconnected membranes that extends from the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane. It plays a fundamental role in the transport, processing, and distribution of proteins and lipids within the cell.
A

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

47
Q

are essential organelles for cellular functioning and survival.
* They synthesize proteins using the genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA), which is crucial for cellular structure, function, and regulation.
* are located in the cytoplasm and the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

A

48
Q
  • Key in the processing and packaging of proteins and lipids produced in the endoplasmic reticulum.
  • It synthesizes carbohydrates and lipoproteins and is essential for maintaining the cell’s internal balance and facilitating communication with the outside.

A

vegetal cells

56
Q
  • is the cell cycle phase in which newly generated DNA is divided into two new cells with the same number and type of chromosomes as the parent nucleus
A

Mitosis

57
Q

STAGES OF MITOSIS:

A

Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis

58
Q
  • A cell spends a period of its growth in this before commencing mitosis
A

interphase

59
Q

When in interphase, it passes through the following phases:

A

G1
S Phase
G2 Phase

60
Q
  • Mitosis officially begins in this phase. During this phase, the chromatin, which consists of DNA and proteins, condenses into visible chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids joined at a region called the centromere. The nuclear envelope, which surrounds the nucleus, begins to break down, and spindle fibers start to form.
A

prophase

61
Q
  • During this phase, the chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate, which is an imaginary plane equidistant from the two poles of the cell. This alignment ensures that each daughter cell will receive the same number and type of chromosomes.
A

metaphase

62
Q
  • is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids. The spindle fibers attached to the centromeres shorten, pulling the sister chromatids apart and moving them toward opposite poles of the cell.
A

anaphase

63
Q
  • the separated chromosomes reach the poles of the cell, and new nuclear envelopes begin to form around them. The chromosomes start to decondense back into chromatin, and the spindle fibers disassemble
A

telophase

64
Q
  • Genetic cells undergo reduction division. No S-phase, therefore no DNA Replication.
A

MEIOSIS

65
Q
  • chromatids exchange chromosomal material
A

CROSSING OVER/CROSSOVER

66
Q

collection of cells of similar structure and function.

A

TISSUES

67
Q

collection of tissue of similar structure and function.

A

ORGANS

68
Q

combination of tissues and organs.
