Cell Size
Name a reason why cells remain small.
Large cells have difficulty diffusing nutrients rapidly enough, Their ratio of surface area to volume increases, or transportation of wastes become a problem for large cells
What are the stages of mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What are all of the stages of interphase?
G1, S, G2
Where does a cell spend most of its time in the cell cycle?
Interphase
The programmed cell death.
apoptosis
What is a good representation of how big a cell is. We talked about this example in our notes.
Smaller than a period at the end of a sentence.
True or False, Cytokinesis is the last process of mitosis.
False
What happens during the S phase of interphase?
The cell copies its DNA in preparation for cell division
What are the stages of the cell cycle?
Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
These are substances and agents that can cause cancer.
Carcinogens
As a cell's volume increases, what happens to the proportional amount of surface area?
Decreases
In this stage, the nuclear envelope reforms and chromosomes decondense.
Telophase
In this stage, the cell is growing and carrying out normal cell functions.
G1 or Gap 1
binary fission
Where are all of the checkpoints located at in the cell cycle? All 4 of the checkpoints in their specific locations.
At the end of G1, S, and G2 also in mitosis
Starting with one cell that under went five divisions, how many cells would result?
32 cells
During which stage does the microtubules shorten, moving chromosomes to opposite poles.
Anaphase
In the cell cycle interphase follows which stage?
Cyotinesis
What is the correct order of the cell cycle? Including all of the phases of interphase.
G1, S, G2, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
Name the proteins used in stages of interphase and mitosis that start various activities that take place in different stages of the cell cycle.
Cyclins
What is the ratio of surface area to volume if a side of a cube is 2 cm?
4:1
Explain what a cell would look like during metaphase.
the chromosomes would be aligned at the equator of the cell.
This phase of interphase is where the cell prepares for mitosis.
G2 or Gap 2
Spindle apparatus
Name the enzyme used in stages of interphase and mitosis that start various activities that take place in different stages of the cell cycle.
Cyclin-dependent kinases
