Unit Assessment: Cells, Cell Cycle, and Organ Systems

Front

What is the significance of mitotic (mitosis) cell division in multicellular organisms?

Back

Growth and repair.

Front

Which body system is composed of interacting subsystems?

Back

The circulatory system.

Front

What happens when sensory receptors detect a stimulus?

Back

They send a message to the brain.

Front

During Interphase, if a cell is not ready to move to the next phase, what phase does it enter?

Back

Resting phase.

Front

What is the primary function of plasmodesmata in plant cells?

Back

They allow the movement of molecules from one cell to another, enabling communication between cells.

Front

What is the role of the cell cycle in multicellular organisms?

Back

The cell cycle regulates cell growth, division, and death.

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

Front

How do sensory receptors contribute to the nervous system?

Back

They detect stimuli and transmit signals to the brain for processing.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What is the function of the circulatory system?

Back

To transport nutrients, gases, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.
