QuestionAnswer
Explain why cells divide as an organism grows, rather than just getting larger. It is difficult for a single organism to maintain the necessary nutrients to exchange nutrients and the remove waste required for larger organisms, When cells divide they differentiate allowing for a balance between different organ tissues.
Describe the difference between cytokinesis and mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division with its previously copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two identical daughter cells Cytokinesis is the final stage of mitosis where the cell splits into two.
Describe the function of red blood cells. Carry oxygen from our lungs to the rest of the body
Interphase The cell grows and replicates its chromosomes preparing for division.
Prophase Chromosomes condense, spindle fibers from in the cytoplasm
Metaphase Nuclear membrane dissolves, and the spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes and line them up
Anaphase The chromosomes are split by the spindle fibers becoming 2 separate chromatids
Telophase Nuclear membrane reforms around each set of chromosomes, spindle fibers break down
Cytokinesis Cell membrane pinches into 2 separate chromosomes and identical daughter cells
List three reasons why cells divide. The growth of the organism Renew damaged cells To Survive
List three stages of the cell cycle. Interphase, cytokinesis, mitosis
Cells that move bones Muscular
Cells that cover the body and help keep moisture inside Epithelial
Cells that distribute oxygen and remove carbon dioxide Circulatory
Cells that transmit electrical signals from the brain Nervous system
List the biological levels of organization in order. organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms
How are stem cells different from other body cells? Describe an obstacle that stands in the way of stem cell therapy. Stem cells are able to differentiate from other body cells because they can divide and replicate for prolonged periods of time while other cells cannot replicate for example, Muscular, blood or nerve cells.
