Cell Cycle and Cell Transport

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of phases that a cell goes through from its formation to its division into two daughter cells.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases of the cell cycle are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Mitosis (including Cytokinesis).

Front

What occurs during Interphase?

Back

During Interphase, the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for division.

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division where one cell divides to form two identical daughter cells.

Front

What happens during the G1 phase of Interphase?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What happens during the S phase of Interphase?

Back

During the S phase, the cell replicates its DNA, resulting in two identical sets of chromosomes.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of Interphase?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis by producing necessary proteins and organelles.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
