cell growth,division and reproduction
compared to small cells, large cells have more trouble
storing need materials and waste products
what are the phases of mitosis in order?
prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
how do organisms get the energy they need?
by breaking down food particles gradually and capturing their chemical energy
photosynthesis uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into
oxygen and high energy sugars
what is the function of the nucleus?
stores DNA
when during the cell cycle are chromosomes visible?
only during cell division
what is the first phase in prophase?
mitosis
what two different structures are responsible for energy production in plant and animal cells?
chloroplast and mitochondria
what is the light independent reaction called?
the calvin cycle or dark reaction
lysosome
all of the following are problems that growth causes for cells EXCEPT
excess oxygen
what is metaphase?
it's the second phase of of mitosis, the centromeres of the duplicated chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell
cellular respiration is called an aerobic process because it requires
oxygen
the calvin cycle takes place in the
thylakoid membrane
what is a function of the cytoskelton?
helps a cell keep it's shape
during which phase in the cell cycle does mitosis happen?
M phase
what are G1 and G2?
they are the two phases of growth in interphase
what are the reactants in the equation for cellular respiration?
glucose and oxygen
the calvin cycle is another name for the
light- independant reactions
the primary function of a cell wall is to
support and protect the cell
an advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction is that sexual reproduction
provides genetic diversity
what is chromatin?
DNA if found in this form in interphase
cellular respiration releases energy by breaking down
food particles
where are photosynthesis 1 and 2 found?
in the thylakoid membrane
unlike the cell membrane, the cell wall is
a rigid structure
