mitosis and cell cycle

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is a repeating sequence of growth and division that cells undergo, consisting of interphase and mitotic phase.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.

Front

What is the function of stomata in leaves?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the leaf surface that allow carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit the leaf.

Front

List the stages of mitosis in order.

Back

The stages of mitosis in order are: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Front

What provides the energy necessary for photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy necessary for photosynthesis.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of the mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is anaphase?

Back

Anaphase is the stage of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is telophase?

Back

Telophase is the final stage of mitosis where the chromosomes de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.
