What are the 2 major phases of the cell cycle?
Interphase and Mitosis
What is the purpose of the cell checkpoints?
To make sure the cell is growing to the correct size and replicating the organelles and DNA appropriately before moving to the next phase of the cell cycle.

What does homeostasis mean?
an internal steady state that is balanced
Name one way in which viruses and cells are alike.
both have genetic material (DNA/RNA) and
both change over time
What happens during Interphase?
The cell prepares to divide.
G1 - growth and replication of organelles
S - replication of DNA
G2 - continued growth and replication of enzymes (proteins)
What happens to the cell if it is not growing properly?

This type of cell transport requires no energy.
passive transport
Why are viruses considered to be nonliving?
With only 2 exceptions, they do not have the characteristics of life.
