9.1 Cell Cycle

Front

What occurs during the S stage of interphase?

Back

The DNA is replicated.

Front

What are the end products of mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Two identical daughter cells.

Front

How would you best describe cytokinesis?

Back

Division of the cytoplasm.

Front

What part of a cell contributes to the surface area?

Back

Plasma membrane.

Front

What happens to the surface area to volume ratio as a cell increases in size?

Back

It decreases.

Front

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure proper cell growth, DNA replication, and division.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

Front

What is interphase and what are its stages?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, consisting of G1, S, and G2 stages.

Front

What happens during the G1 phase of interphase?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What is the role of the plasma membrane in a cell?

Back

It regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
