The Cell Cycle
Cells grow in size and then divide, forming two new cells. Those cells grow and divide, making two more new cells each.
What is cell division?
During the first part of interphase...
What is: the cell grows to its full size and produces structures it needs?
the stage during which the cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei.
What is mitosis?
The process in which the cytoplasm splits apart the cell.
What is cytokinesis?
The process in which our cells convert food into energy
What is cellular respiration?
he regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo is known as the
What is the cell cycle?
During interphase, copies are made of both of these organelles
What is the mitochondria and chloroplasts?
During mitosis, one copy of this is distributed into each of the two daughter cells
What is DNA?
Each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.
What is a chromosome?
What is the chromatin, nucleolus, DNA, and RNA?
Two new cells formed through cell division
What is a daughter cell?
the amount of time the cell spends in interphase
What is the majority of its life?
Scientists divide mitosis into four phases.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
a structure called a cell plate forms across the middle of the cell.
What is cytokinesis in plants?
Elements that are highly reactive, with 7 valence electrons
What is a halogen?
The cell cycle is divided into three phases
What is interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis?
in the next part of interphase, the cell makes an exact copy of the DNA in its nucleus
What is replication?
the threadlike chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form double-rod structures called chromosomes.
What is prophase?
When cytokinesis is complete this forms
What is two new daughter cells form?
an organic molecule that stores fats.
What is a lipid?
The name of the cell before it dividesq
what is a parent cell?
At the end of DNA replication, the cell contains two sets of this
identical dna strands
The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Each chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber at its centromere
What is Metaphase?
Each identical rod in a chromosome
what is a chromatid?
The five classical elements
what is Water, air, fire, earth, Quintessence?
