Cell Division
How many stages does a cell go through during Cell division?
Three
What are the two ways in which a cell can get (or obtain) energy?
Through fermentation and cellular respiration
Stores water, food and waste until needed
Vacuole
Which cell structure allows materials to enter and exit the cell
Cell membrane
During this stage, the cytoplasm and the cell membrane split forming two identical daughter cells.
Cytokinesis
Cells need power to carry out their individual cell functions. They do this through two main processes. The first process is an ________________ process, meaning it requires oxygen
aerobic
Controls the activities of a cell
Nucleus
Which process took place in our egg-speriment when the egg became colored by the food coloring that was in the water?
Diffusion
This is the first and longest stage of cell division and the cell grows and copies its DNA in this stage
Interphase
This process in which cells need oxygen to obtain their energy is called __________________
Cellular respiration
breaks down food using digestive enzymes
lysosome
Which process occurred when the egg began to swell after it was left in plain water overnight?
Osmosis
They are the three stages that the cell goes through when it divides.
Cellular respiration occurs mainly in the __________________ which is why these organelles are called the powerhouses of the cells.
Mitochondria
site of protein production
Ribosome
What was the independent variable in our experiment? What was the dependent variable?
type of solution; egg circumference
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase are the four phases during this stage of Cell Division
What is Mitosis
The second process is a ________________ process because it happens in the absence of oxygen. This process is called _______________________ and occurs in the __________________ of the cell.
Anerobic; fermentation; cytoplasm
the powerhouse of the cell; produces energy
mitochondria
What are the steps of the scientific method?
Ask a question, research, hypothesis, experiment, analyze data, draw a conclusion
