Cell Cycle
This phase of the cell cycle is where the cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division.
What is interphase?
This is the first step of mitosis when the chromsomes condense and the nucleus disappears.
What is prophase?
The purpose of this process is to convert the sun's energy into chemical energy?
What is photosynthesis?
During prophase these two things happen.
What is DNA?
This phase of the cell cycle is when the cell divides.
What is mitosis?
During this step the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
The purpose of this process is to convert chemical energy stored in glucose into ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
What is the cell wall?
The shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
This part of interphase is when the cell grows in size and prepares for DNA replication.
What is the G1 phase?
In this step of mitosis, new nuclei form around the daughter cells.
What is telophase?
The purpose of this process is the movement of water from a high concentration to a low concentration.
What is osmosis?
These are the three reasons why a cell needs to go through mitosis.
What are cell growth, cell repair, or cell reproduction (asexual)?
This nucleic acid carries messages from DNA.
What is RNA?
This phase of interphase is when the cell's DNA is copied, making an exact duplicate.
What is the S phase (Synthesis phase)?
In this step of mitosis, the sister chromatids pull away to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
The purpose of this process is to maintain balance within an organism.
What is homeostasis?
This structure, composed of microtubules, attaches to the centromere of chromosomes to facilitate their movement during mitosis.
What are spindle fibers?
Adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine
What are nitrogen bases of DNA?
This specific phase of interphase involves the synthesis of proteins and organelles needed for cell division.
What is the G2 Phase?
In this phase, the cytoplasm divides and two daughter cells are formed.
What is cytokinesis?
The purpose of this process is to create identical cells.
What is cell division mitosis?
Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome, joined together at this region.
What is the centromere?
This is the process of making proteins.
What is protein synthesis?
