Front

What is the purpose of DNA replication before cell division in mitosis or meiosis?

Back

To ensure that genetic information is accurately transferred to daughter cells.

Front

List the stages of mitosis in order.

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What molecule supplies the energy used in respiration and is also stored in photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for converting energy in the cell?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria convert energy found in glucose into energy for use by the cell.

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is meiosis and how does it differ from mitosis?

Back

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four genetically diverse gametes, while mitosis produces two identical cells.

Front

What role does glucose play in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is broken down to release energy that is used by the cell.

Front

Explain the significance of the cell cycle.

Back

The cell cycle is crucial for growth, development, and repair in organisms, ensuring that cells divide correctly.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and the Mitotic phase (M).
