GBH2425S1 Flashcard 10B

Front

What maintains the structure of a plant cell and helps it resist changes in extreme hyper- or hypotonic conditions?

Back

Cell wall

Front

In which phase of cell division is the cell most likely during Anaphase?

Back

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

Front

During which phase does nucleus division occur?

Back

Mitosis is the phase where the nucleus divides into two daughter nuclei.

Front

What organelle produces the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the fine adjustment knob in a microscope?

Back

The fine adjustment knob is used to make small adjustments to the focus of the microscope.

Front

What is the role of Golgi bodies in a cell?

Back

Golgi bodies modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

What is the difference between metaphase and anaphase in cell division?

Back

In metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, while in anaphase, sister chromatids are separated and pulled to opposite poles.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of chromosomes.

Front

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER), as well as detoxification.
