Question
Answer
Why do cells divide instead of growing indefinately?   a. the cell places more demands on its DNA. b. The cell has more trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane.  
🗑
Does a cell make extra copies of its DNA as it grows?   no  
🗑
What determines the rate at which food and oxygen in a cell are used up and waste products produced.   The cell's volume.  
🗑
Cell division   the process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells  
🗑
How does cell division solve the problem of increasing size?   The DNA replicates, so each new, smaller cell has all the DNA it needs. Its volume is also smaller.  
🗑
Visible chromosomes   only visible during cell division. They consist of condensed DNA and protein molecules that were previously spread throughout the nucleus.  
🗑
Centromere   where each pair of chromatids is attached.  
🗑
Interphase   the period of growth in between cell divisions.  
🗑
Cell cycle   the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide.  
🗑
G1 phase   Cells do most of their growing and syntehsize new proteins and organelles.  
🗑
S phase   Chromosomes are replicated and the syntehsis of DNA molecules takes place.  
🗑
G2 phase   Many of the organelles required for cell division are produced  
🗑
Mitosis   the division of the cell nucleus. Consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Also called the M phase.  
🗑
Centrioles   the two tiny structures near the nuclear envelope at the ends of the spindles.  
🗑
Spindle   a fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes  
🗑
Prophase   the chromosomes become visible, the centrioles take up positions of opposite sides of the nucleus  
🗑
Metaphase   the chormosomes line up across the center of the cell.  
🗑
Anaphase   The chromosomes move until they form two groups near the poles of the spindle.  
🗑
Telophase   A nuclear envelope re-forms around each cluster of chromosomes. The nucleolus becomes visible in each daughter nucleus.  
🗑
Cytokinesis   The division of the cytoplasm itself.  
🗑
Cytokinesis in animal cells   The cell membrane is drawn inward (clevage) until it pinches off into two nearly equal parts.  
🗑
Cytokinesis in plant cells.   A cell plate forms midway between the divide nucleus.  
🗑
Cells grow until   they come in contact with other cells.  
🗑
Cyclins   regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.  
🗑
Cancer   A disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth. They form tumors.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
