What is the layer around a cell called?
Cell Membrane
What is concentration?
How packed something is, how many particles/molecules per volume.
What does mitosis do?
Makes new cells
How many cells does mitosis make?
2
Why do we do mitosis?
What is the "brain" of a cell? (Tells the cell what to do)
Nucleus
What does isotonic mean?
Same concentration
What does a cell do during metaphase?
Chromosomes line up down the middle
What is this a picture of?

metaphase
Which step is longest in the cell cycle?
Interphase
What fills the cell and holds the organelles in place?
Cytoplasm
What is the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic?
Hypertonic: high concentration of solutes
Hypotonic: low concentration of solutes
What does a cell do in telophase/cytokinesis?
Squeezes in the middle, making 2 new cells
Which step is this?
![]()
Telophase/Cytokinesis
What is one way cells get larger molecules in/out?
-Active transport
-Endo/exocytosis
What do ribosomes do?
Make proteins
What will happen to your cells if you go swimming in the ocean?
They will shrink (the salt will pull water out).

Which step is this?

Interphase
What happens in interphase?
The cell grows, copies its DNA, and does its job.
What's the difference between osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis: water moves
Diffusion: other things move
What are three cell parts that both plants and animals have?
Ex. nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, cell membrane, ER, golgi, vacuole...
Mia has a saltwater fish tank (ocean fish). Can she fill the tank with tap water? Why?

No.
The fishes' cells are used to salt water. Tap water would be hypotonic, and cause their cells to fill with water.

What happens in prophase?
Chromosomes condense (wrap into X shapes), nucleus breaks down, cell prepares to divide.
Which step: chromosomes pull apart, organelles separate to each side of the cell
Anaphase
What does this part do?
![]()
-Packaging/transport
