States of Mitosis
What is the first Stage of mitosis called?
Prophase
What are the two main phases of the cell cycle?
Interphase and Mitosis
What is the main function of the cell membrane?
What is mitosis?
The process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
Name one structure that is found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
Cell Wall
During which phase do chromoosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
What happens to the DNA during interphase?
Cell will grow in .size and double its contents
What organell is known as a powerhouse of the cell?
Mitochondria
Define cell cycle.
What is the primary difference betwen plant and animal cells?
Plant cells have chloroplast and a cell wall; animal cells do not.
What happens during anaphase?
Chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.
Name the three stages of a cell cycle.
First: Interphase, second: Mitosis, and final: Cytokonesis.
What is the role of ribosomes in the cell?
Protein synthesis
What is the term for the genetic material found in the nucleus?
DNA
Which organelle is involved in the storage of substance in the cell?
Vacuole
What is the final stage of mitosis where the cell divides?
Telophase
How many stages are in the sencond phase of the cell cycle, mitosis?
Four: 4
Which organell is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?
Chloroplast
What does the term "chromatid" refer to?
each half of a duplicated chromosome.
What is the function of lysosomes?
To break down waste materials and cellular debis.
What is the process that follows mitosis to form two separate cells?
Cytokinesis
What happens to plant cells in the final stage of the cell cycle, cytokinesis?
Cell plates form in middle of ell creating new cell membranes around each daughter cell.
Cell wall then formas around cell membrane.
What structure provides support and shape to plant cells?
Cell wall
Define cytokinesis.
The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate cells after mitosis.
How do plant cells maintain their structure compared to animal cells?
Through the presence of a rigid cell wall.
