What is a chromosome?
one long continuous thread of DNA that consists of many genes
The type of transport that requires energy.
Active transport
What is mitosis?
Cellular division part of the cell cycle.
What is homeostasis?
A stable, internal environment.
Where are telomeres located?
Found on the ends of chromosomes
What are the three types of passive transport?
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.
Daughter cells have the same ______.
DNA
How does the cell membrane help to maintain homeostasis?
It is selectively permeable meaning it is picky about what goes in and out of the cell.
What happens during interphase?
- replication of DNA
- cell growth
If materials are moving from an area of high concentration to areas of low concentration, it is what type of transport?
Passive
What are the stages within mitosis?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis
What is the difference between endocytosis and exocytosis?
Endocytosis: materials move into the cell
Exocytosis: materials exit the cell
True or false: The cell cycle spends most of its time in interphase.
True
If a cell shrivels, what type of solution is it in?
Hypertonic
What happens at each stage of mitosis?
Prophase: chromosomes condense and envelope breaks
Metaphase: chromosomes line up in center
Anaphase: chromotids pulled apart
Telophase: envelope reforms
Cytokinesis: cell splits into 2 daughter cells
What is negative feedback?
A way for the body to return quickly back to homeostasis.
Some people say that interphase is the resting phase of the cell. Is this accurate? Why or why not?
Resting in terms of not dividing, yes.
Resting in terms of doing nothing, no. The cell grows, duplication of organelles, and replicates DNA in this phase.
What is a solution?
The uniform mixture of two or more substances.
Draw what happens at each phase of mitosis.
Is negative feedback a bad thing?
NO! Negative feedback returns the body straight back to homeostasis so the internal balance can be maintained.
