Cell Cycle & Mitosis
Review of Cell Cycle and Mitosis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| DNA gets copied in the cell cycle | S phase |
| means 2 sets of chromosomes (46 in humans) | diploid |
| 3 of these prevent a cell from continuing in the cell cycle | checkpoints |
| makes 2 genetically IDENTICAL daughter cells | mitosis |
| makes 4 genetically DIFFERENT cells | meiosis |
| means 1 set of chromosomes (23 in humans) | haploid |
| this diseases is caused by uncontrolled cell growth and division (ignoring checkpoints) | cancer |
| gene that triggers apoptosis to prevent cancer | p53 gene |
| reasons that cells divide instead of just get larger | too hard to remove waste and receive nutrients (food) |
| biomolecule used 1st for energy | carbohydrates |
| programmed cell death ; self-destruction that prevents cancer | apoptosis |
| cells that can develop into any cell in the body [is undifferentiated] | stem cells |
| stem cells that are NOT controversial ; can only develop into some cells | adult stem cells |
| stem cells that are controversial; can develop into ANY cell in the human body | embryonic stem cells |
| biomolecule that is NEVER used for energy | nucleic acids |
| biomolecule used 2nd for energy and has the most calories | lipids |
| biomolecule used last (3rd ) for energy | proteins |
| starting material in a chemical reaction | reactants |
| ending material (gets made) in a chemical reaction | products |
| speeds up a chemical reaction (lowers activation energy) | catalysts (enzymes) |
| building blocks of carbohydrates (always in 1:2:1 ratio) | saccharides (simple sugars) |
| building blocks of nucleic acids | nucleotides |
| building blocks of protein | amino acids |
| building blocks of lipids | glycerol & fatty acids |
