Unit 1 Flashcards
Cells and Mitosis
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Protein Synthesis
Nucleus function
Stores DNA; Site of transcription
Ribosomes
Protein Synthesis
Golgi Apparatus
Package and Modify Proteins
Mitochondria
Site of ATP Synthesis
Lysosomes
Breakdown cell debris and foreign pathogens
Peroxisome
Breakdown fat, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide
Centrioles
Assist in mitotic spindle formation
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Lipid Synthesis; Calcium Storage
What is the cell?
Basic unit of life containing different organelles that fulfill various purposes of the cell
Mitosis
Division of the cell which results in genetically identical daughter cells (2 PAIRS OF 23 CHROMOSOMES)
Phases of Mitosis
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
Prophase
DNA condenses into chromosome form & mitotic spindle forms
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell
Anaphase
The duplicated chromosomes begin to be pulled apart by the mitotic spindle
