Plant Cells vs Animal Cells
What does a cell need to have in order to begin mitosis?
2 copies of all chromosomes, and enough copies of all organelles.
During this phase, the cell is growing and developing, "just being a cell"
G1/ Gap 1

What 2 organelles do we see in plant cells but NOT in animal cells?
Cell wall and chloroplast
What does the nucleus do during prophase?
the nuclear membrane/envelope breaks down
Which phase of the cell cycle do cells spend MOST of their time in?
Interphase (G1, S, G2 phases)
This person is the oldest in the class!

What does the central vacuole do for a plant cell?
stores water, helps support structure of the cell.
What do the chromosomes do during Metaphase? Where are they?
They line up in the middle/at the equator of the cell
What is interphase?
the part of the cell cycle where the cell is not dividing, it is made up of g1, s, and g phases

True or False: Plant cells do not have a cell membrane since they have a cell wall.
FALSE. Plant cells have a cell wall on the outside and cell membrane inside!
How many nuclei are there in the cell during telophase?
2 nuclei (the plural of nucleus)
All the DNA gets copied in this phase
S/ Synthesis phase
This is the youngest person in the class!

True or false: Plants can ONLY get energy during the daytime when the chloroplast can do photosynthesis. Plant cells don't have any other organelles that can make energy.
False! Plant cells have a mitochondria that makes their energy at night!
Name all the stages of mitosis, IN ORDER, and describe what happens in each phase
Prophase - nuclear membrane breaks down
Metaphase- chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell
Anaphase- chromosomes split and are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell
telophase- 2 nuclei reform
cytokinesis- the cell divides and now we have 2 identical daughter cells
The nucleus divides in this phase
M / Mitotic phase
