Unit #4 Review Concepts & Vocab

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process during cell division where the cytoplasm of a parental cell is divided into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the first stage of mitosis?

Back

The first stage of mitosis is prophase.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) stores and transfers energy within cells.

Front

What cell structure is most responsible for maintaining homeostasis in cells?

Back

The cell membrane is responsible for maintaining homeostasis by regulating what enters and exits the cell.

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equator.

Front

Define interphase.

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.

Front

What is prophase?

Back

Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the significance of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is crucial for protecting the cell and controlling the movement of substances in and out.

Front

What occurs during anaphase?

Back

During anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
