Known as the life cycle of a cell. In other words, it is the series of growth and development steps a cell undergoes between its “birth”—formation by the division of a mother cell—and reproduction—division to make two new daughter cells.
The Cell Cycle
Phase in the Cell Cycle in which the cell is mainly growing and preparing to divide the nucleus
Interphase
Phase of the Cell Cycle in which the cell is separating and dividing DNA into two nuclei in order to produce two identical daughter cells
Mitosis
One of the basic principles of Biology that defines characteristics of living things
Cell Theory
Organelle that is the site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
All cells are growing and dividing in the Cell Cycle
(True or False)
False
The phase of Interphase in which the cells replicate their DNA
Synthesis (S)
Phase in mitosis in which chromatin condenses into chromosomes and spindle and polar bodies appear
Prophase
Cells are the _____ ______ unit of life
Type of cellular respiration that does not require oxygen
Anaerobic respiration
List all phases of the Cell Cycle
G0, G1, S, G2, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
The phase of Interphase in which the cell is mainly growing
Phase in mitosis in which the nuclear membrane reappears and a full set of chromosomes gather together at each pole of the cell
Telophase
All living things are made up of one or more ____
Term that refers to all the chemical processes in the body
Metabolism
Phase at the end of mitosis in which the nuclei of the cell pinch off and split apart
Cytokinesis
The phase of Interphase in which the cell is growing, but also preparing for mitosis
G2
Phase of mitosis in which the sister chromatids are pulled apart by the mitotic spindle which pulls one chromatid to one pole and the other chromatid to the opposite pole
Anaphase
Cells come from _______
Pre-existing cells
30-32 ATP
The type of cells involved in the Cell Cycle
Somatic (body) cells
The longest phase in the Cell Cycle
Interphase
Phase of mitosis in which the mitotic spindle fibers attach to each of the sister chromatids and the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Metaphase
Two reasons that viruses are not living things
Not made of cells and cannot reproduce on their own
