Q

what are fat cells?

A
  • energy
  • nutients (storage)
  • warmth (insulation)
  • vacuoles
22
Q

what are nerve cells?

A
  • most produced before birth
  • spinal cord
  • transmits signals to brain
  • axon: carries signals away
  • clendrite: brings signals towards cell
23
Q

what is the stage of interphase?

A
  • cellular respiration
  • cells take in nutrients to build protiens
  • DNA duplicates in preparation for cell division (sister chromatids joined by centromere)
  • G1, G2, S (synthesis)
24
Q

what is the stage of prophase?

A
  • first phase of mitosis
  • DNA condenses and becomes visible as chromosomes (shorten and thicken)
  • nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappears
  • centrioles move to opposite poles of the cell
25
Q

what is the stage of metaphase?

A
  • second phase of mitosis
  • centromere line up in the middle of the cell (equatorial plate)
  • spindle fibers form, attach to the centromere and pull chromosomes into the middle of the cell
26
Q

what is the stage of anaphase?

A
  • third phase of mitosis
  • centromere splits and sister chromatids seperate into daughter chromosomes
  • spindle fibers pull daughter chromosomes to opposite ends of the cell
27
Q

what is the stage of telephase?

A
  • final phase of mitosis
  • daughter cells
  • chromosomes reach the opposite ends of the cell
  • new nuclear membrane re-forms around each group of daughter chromosomes and the nucleolus also re-appears
  • cleavage furrow forms
28
Q

what is the stage of cytokinesis?

A
  • final stage of cell division
  • cytoplasm divides
  • animal cell: cell membrane pinched of in the middle at the cleavage furrow
  • plant cell: cell plate devolopes into cell wall
29
Q

what is cancer?

A
  • cancer is a cell division out of control
  • “cancer” refers to a whole group of diseases (including leukemia, cancer of the blood)
30
Q

what are normal cells?

A
  • they divide slowly
  • eventually die and are replaced
31
Q

what are cancer cells?

A
  • they divide quickly
  • they dont die quickly
  • cancer cells build tumors
32
Q

what is a tumour?

A

benign: dont harm other cells
malignant: interfere with or destroy other cells

33
Q

what is metastasis?

A
  • the spreading of cancer cells (cells spread)
34
Q

what causes cancer?

A
  • carcinogens: factors that cause cancer
    ex. asbestos, certain chemicals, X-rays, UV radiation
35
Q

what are the types of diagnosis for cancer?

A
  • imaging (CT, MRI, X-ray)
  • Examining cells (biopsy)
  • early diagnosis is crucial for the sucess of the cancer treatment
36
Q

what are the types of treatments for cancer?

A
  • surgery (physical removal of tumour)
  • chemotherapy (drug therapy to kill cells)
  • radiation (targeted radiation to kill cells)
  • bio photonics (using high energy light for detection and treatment)
37
Q

what are Prokaryotic cells?

A
  • cells without a nucleus
  • only organelle in prokaryotic cells are ribosomes
38
Q

what are Eukaryotic cells?

A
  • cells that have a nucleus
  • other cells besides the nucleus
39
Q

What are the differences between animal and plant cells?

A
  • animal cells have centrioles, centrosomes and lysosomes and plant cells do not
  • plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and plastids used for storage, and a large central vacuole and animal cells do not
40
Q

what is Chromatin?

A

the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria (i.e., eukaryotes) are composed. It consists of protein, RNA, and DNA.

41
Q

what are Chromosomes?

A

A structure found inside the nucleus of a cell. A chromosome is made up of proteins and DNA organized into genes.

42
Q

what are Centrioles?

A

it organizes microtubules that serve as the cell’s skeletal system. They help determine the locations of the nucleus and other organelles within the cell. Located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope.

43
Q

what are Spindle fibres?

A

it equally divides the parental cell into two daughter cells

44
Q

what is the Centromere?

A

helps the cell divide up its DNA during division

45
Q

what are Sister chromatids?

A

identical copies of a chromosome

46
Q

what are daughter chromosomes?

A

the result of sister chromatids splitting up

47
Q

what is DNA?

A

a molecule that contains the genetic code that is unique to every individual.

48
Q

what are Diploid cells?

A
  • a cell that contain two copies of each chromosome.
49
Q

what are Haploid cells?

A

a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes.

50
Q

what are Specialized cells?

A

cells designed to carry out a particular role in the body
ex: nerve cells, sperm cells, egg cells
