Cell cycle
What is the longest phase of the cell cycle?
Interphase
What is the largest organ in the human body?
The skin
What are the phases of Mitosis?
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis.
How many cells do unicellular organisms have?
One
What is the unit of life?
The cell
What does mitosis do to the cell?
It creates duplicate cells
One of the main muscles in the arm which is responsible for flexing your muscles, moving your elbows, moving, and picking things up is?
Biceps
In which phase does the nuclear membrane form?
Telophase
A bacterium is an example of what organism?
Unicellular
What is it called when the cell becomes a more detailed/specialized cell?
Differentiation
What is the last phase of the cell cycle?
Cytokinesis
What is a very important muscle that helps the body taste, swallow, and speak?
Tongue
Why is the cell cycle important?
The answer may vary, but it should be close to this: It is important because it helps repair tissue, grow muscle and tissue back, and rebuild it.
Humans and animals are an example of what organism?
Multicellular organism
What is cell differentiation?
The process by which cells become specialized for specific jobs.
What happens during the phase of anaphase?
Chromosome separate/move away.
Where is smooth muscle tissue found?
In the wall of hollow organs.
What thing helps pull chromatids apart during mitosis?
Spindle Fibers
How are the cells in a multicellular organism different from the cells in a unicellular organism?
Multicellular organisms have many specialized cells, while unicellular organisms have only one cell that does all the jobs.
How does cell differentiation help form tissues and organs?
Specialized cells group together to make tissues, and tissues make organs.
What happens during the phase of prophase?
Chromosomes show up with spindles & Nuclear Membrane disappears.
What is responsible for attaching muscles to the bones for walking and lifting?
Skeletal muscle tissue
If a skin cell with 46 chromosomes starts mitosis, how many chromosomes will each of the two new cells have?
46 chromosomes
What two processes allow multicellular organisms to grow larger and more detailed?
Cell division and cell differentiation
Why is differentiation important for multicellular organisms?
It allows different cells to do other tasks needed to live.
