fluid that fills cell, most reactions and work occur there, contains salt

38
Q

chloroplasts

A

produces food, photosynthesis, contains green chlorophyll, plant only

39
Q

CENTRAL vacuole

A

Plant only (animals have small, spread vacuoles); store water, food and waste; helps with turgor pressure

40
Q

What is turgor pressure?

A

Water pressure to keep plants upright

41
Q

cell wall

A

Plant only, protects cell

42
Q

nuclear membrane

A

separates nucleus from cytoplasm, controls what enters and exits the nucleus

43
Q

cytoskeleton

A

controls cell shape, organization, and movement

44
Q

what are microtubules?

A

what cytoskeleton is made of

45
Q

genetic material

A

tells cell what to do, how to do it, and when.

46
Q

Most cells in an organism go through a cycle called ______ (multi-word)

A

a cell cycle

47
Q

name the two phases and what each are

A

Interphase-growth and preparation for division

Mitosis-cell division

48
Q

which phase takes up most of cell cycle

A

Interphase

49
Q

During interphase, DNA is called_______

A

chromatin

50
Q

Begins with rapid growth. This is called:

A

G1 stage

51
Q

second, cell replicates strands of chromatin. This is called:

A

S Stage

52
Q

two indentical strands of DNA are called:

A

Sister chromatids

53
Q

NOT IMPORTANT: what do stages stand for?

A

Gap 1, Synthesis, Gap 2

54
Q

A stage of final preparation and growth before mitosis

A

G2 stage

55
Q

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

A

mitosis is the split of the nucleus, cytokinesis is the split of cytoplasm.

56
Q

what are the names of the new cells from mitosis and cytokinesis?

A

daughter cells

57
Q

In animal cells, a ____ gets deeper and depper until the cell membrane comes together to divide the cell.

A

furrow

58
Q

in plant cells, a _____ (multiword) grows outward toward a new cell wall until two new cells form.

A

cell plate

59
Q

True or False: The original cell no longer exists.

A

True.

60
Q

How many daughter cells are made in meiosis?

A

4

61
Q

female sex cell

A

egg

62
Q

male sex cell

A

sperm

63
Q

egg cell and sperm cell unite in____

A

fertilization

64
Q

what kind of cell have pairs of chromosomes?

A

diploid

65
Q

Homologous chromosomes are what?

A

pairs of chromosomes that have genes for the same traits arranged in the same order

66
Q

Haploid cells have

A

only one chromosome from each pair

67
Q

Meiosis has _ divisions of nucleus and cytoplasm

A

2

68
Q

Meiosis creates genetic variation by producing ____ _____

A

haploid cells

69
Q

Advantages and disadvantages of sexual reporduction

A

Adv,
Variation is good if environment changes, selective breeding is used to create perfect anumals and plants
dis,
have to develop before they can reproduce, searching for a mate takes time and energy

70
Q

The Cell Cycle

A

growth, development, and division

71
Q

Prophase

A

nuclear membrane disappears, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, spindle fibers form, centrioles move to poles

72
Q

Metaphase

A

Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell.

73
Q

Anaphase

A

The chromosomes/homologous pairs split and move to opposite sides of the cell, cell begins to stretch

74
Q

Telophase

A

nuclear membrane reforms, chromosomes recondense into chromatin, cells are almost split

75
Q

What is interkinesis?

A

A short interphase inbetween meiosis I and II

76
Q

Match division with outcomes:
Meiosis
Mitosis

Unique
Identical

Four
Two

A

Mitosis, Identical, Two

Meiosis, Unique, Four

77
Q

What is crossing over?

A

Pieces of homologous chromosomes switch places during prophase I
