BIO-U4: 11.1, 11.2 & 11.3 Review

Which cells are more efficient at obtaining nutrients?

• Small Cells
• Medium Size Cells
• Large Cells
• X-Large Cells

As a cell becomes larger, its

• surface area increases faster than its volume.
• volume increases faster than its surface area

High Surface area to volume ratio allows cells to do what quickly?

• Move materials around inside the cell
• Move materials in and out of the cell 
• Communicate to other cells
• Divide

Which of the following are reasons why cells need to divide?

• Growth

• Replace

• Repair

• Reproduction

A small cell has a ________ surface area to volume ratio than a larger cell.

• larger

• smaller

• equal

The process by which the nuclear material is divided equally between two new cells

• mitosis

• cancer

• spindle

• centromere

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.

In mitosis, the two resulting cells are

• different from the starting cell and identical to each other.
• different from the starting cell and different from each other.
• identical to the starting cell and different from each other.
• identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

The time between cell divisions in the life cycle of the cell is called

• anaphase
• interphase
• prophase
• metaphase

What are the two main types of cell reproduction?

• Asexual & sexual reproduction

• Budding & mitosis

• Fragmentation & meiosis

• Photosynthesis & Cellular respiration
