Cell Size Limitations
Smaller than the period at the end of this sentence.
What is the size of most cells?
Because this allows your body to grow and heal certain injuries.
Why do cells reproduce?
These proteins combine with another enzyme to signal the cellular reproduction processes.
What are Cyclins?
When Chromatin condenses during the prophase.
How are Chromosomes formed?
Process of Cellular reproduction that occurs in 3 main stages.
What is the Cell Cycle?
Key factor that limits the size of a cell.
What is the ratio of its surface area to its volume?
Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.
What are the 3 main stages of the Cell Cycle
Built into the cycle to monitor the process and stops it if something goes wrong.
What are Quality Control Checkpoints?
These fibers have a star like appearance.
What are Aster Fibers?
The final stage of the Cell Cycle where a new cell is created.
What is Cytokinesis?
On the cell, covering the surface area.
Where is the Plasma Membrane?
Is the stage in which the cell's nucleus and nuclear material divide.
What is Mitosis?
Cells do this, in a controlled process, while going through apoptosis.
Why do cells shrink and shrivel?
Chromatids are pulled apart during the Anaphase.
When is replicated DNA separated?
Repeating subunit of chromatin fibers, consisting of DNA coiled around histones
What is a Nucleosome?
Cells have a higher ratio of surface area to volume and can sustain themselves more easily.
Why cells remain small?
This results in two cells with identical nuclei
What is Cytokinesis?
When the Cell Cycle fails to regulate.
What is a cause of Cancer?
When the cell has completed the work of duplicating the genetic material and distributing it
What is the Telophase
A cell structure that joins two sister chromatids
What is a Centromere?
Once inside the cell, substances move by motor proteins pulling them along the cytoskeleton.
How does Diffusion work?
When Gap 1, Synthesis, and Gap 2 are complete.
When does the Interphase stage end?
An individual that inherits one or more DNA changes from a parent.
Who is at a higher risk for developing Cancer?
This role aides in the growth of organisms, replacement of damaged cells, and maintaining chromosomes.
What is the role of Mitosis?
Enzyme to which cyclin binds during interphase and mitosis, triggering and controlling activities during the cell cycle
What is Cyclin-Dependent Kinase?
