4-50 QZZ Test Cell Cycle

What is the process called that prepares a cell for division?

• Interphase

• Meiosis

• Cellular Respiration

• Photosynthesis

Why would a cell want to increase in size?

• Bigger cells are more efficient

• So it can repair faster

• Because cells have to get bigger

• So it can have enough membrane to hold the materials it made
