The G1, S, and G2 phases together are known as what?

It is known as a "interphase"

100

What is another thing viruses can not do since they are not made of cells?

"They can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy."

Prophase (prepare), Metaphase (middle), Anaphase (apart), Telophase (two)

The 4 parts of the PMAT

In Celtic mythology, the fictional creature is connected with both chivalry and dominance as well as purity and innocence.

Scotland chose the unicorn as its national animal.

The cell cycle plays a crucial role in the growth, development, and maintenance of all living organisms.

The cell cycle is the process by which cells reproduce and divide.

200

The cell grows physically larger and copies organelles in what phase?

The G1 phase

200

What are viruses incapable to do?

They are not capable of reproducing by themselves.

200

Viruses reproduce by injecting their genetic material into a host cell.

Viral Reproduction

When the iron heats up, the tower can be up to 15 centimeters (6 inches) taller due to thermal expansion.

The Eiffel Tower gets taller in the summer.

Depending on the type of cell and the organism it belongs to, the duration of the cell cycle can range from minutes to months.

The duration of the cell cycle can vary.

300

DNA is synthesized in what phase?

The S phase

300

When the "checks" built into the cell cycle aren't working properly, the cell isn't able to regulate its growth. This loss of control leads to cancer.

loss of regulation

Virus: Not made of cells, No cell membrane, Don't use energy

Cell: is a cell, cell membrane, use energy

The differences between virus and a cell

In 1905, Frank Epperson left water and soda powder outside overnight with a wooden stirrer in the cup. When he discovered the mixture had frozen, the “Epsicle” was born.

An 11-year-old accidentally invented ice pops.

300

Multiple checkpoints throughout the cell cycle ensure that each phase is completed accurately before proceeding to the next.

The cell cycle is tightly regulated.

400

The cell grows more and makes proteins and organelles in what phase?

The G2 phase

400

What are things that viruses normally have?

"They do not have a cell membrane or other organelles (for example, ribosomes or mitochondria) that cells have."

400

Last part of the cell cycle that divides the cell's cytoplasm to form 2 new cells.

Cytokinesis

400

Every 225 Earth days, Venus travels around the sun, but Venus rotates clockwise once every 243 days.

Venus is the only planet that spins clockwise.

DNA replication is a critical process where DNA molecules are duplicated to ensure each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the genetic material.

DNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase.

500

What is it called when the nucleus divides?

Mitosis

500

What is required for a virus to reproduce?

"A host cell required for viruses to reproduced."

500

All cells have a cell cycle, which consists of a period of growth and a period of division.

Because it has myristicin, a natural compound that has mind-altering effects, you can experience hallucinations if you ingest large quantities nutmeg.

Nutmeg is a hallucinogen.

Mitosis is responsible for the actual division of the parent cell into two genetically identical daughter cells.

Mitosis is the stage where the cell divides into two daughter cells.
