|
Interphase |
Cell grows and develops Towards the end, DNA doubles (chromosomes) |
|
|
|
Early Prophase |
The chromatin condenses to form chromosomes. The centrioles move toward the poles. Spindle fibres form. |
|
|
|
Late Prophase |
The nuclear envelope breaks down. Each chromosome is connected to a spindle fibre at its centromere. |
|
|
|
Metaphase |
The chromosomes line up at the centre of the cell. |
|
|
|
Anaphase |
The sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and move to opposite poles. |
|
|
|
Telophase and Cytokinesis |
The mitotic spindle breaks down, and two new nuclei form. The chromosomes lose their distinct shape. The cytoplasm and the cell membrane pinch in half to form two new daughter cells. |
|
|
|
Four types of plant tissues? |
Meristematic tissue Ground Tissue Vascular Tissue Epidermal Tissue |
|
|
|
Four types of plant organs? |
Leaf Stem Root Flower |
|
|
|
Function of Meristematic Tissue? |
Responsible for the division of cells for growth or repair Performs unsynchronized mitosis. |
|
|
|
Function of Ground tissue? |
Performs synthesis.
Provides structural support Stores nutrient. |
|
|
|
Function of Vascular tissue? |
Controls the movemen of fluids/nutrients via the xylem and phloem. Provides physical support Responsible for the growth of the tree |
|
|
|
Function of Epidermal tissue? |
Allows carbon dioxide, water vapour and oxygen to move into or out of a leaf quickly via the stomata. |
|
|
|
Function of a leaf? |
Performs photosynthesis Moves water and nutrients up from the roots (Evapotranspiration) |
|
|
|
Function of a Stem? |
Transports nutrients and water from the roots to the leaves/flowers via the xylem and phloem. |
|
|
|
Funtion of a Root? |
Absorbs water and minerals from the soil. Transports the water and minerals in the soil up to the leaves and fruits through the stem. |
|
|
|
Function of a Flower? |
Produce seeds through sexual reproduction. |
|
|
|
How do cancer cells arise? |
When a cell divides itself uncontrollably. |
|
|
|
What is the difference between normal cells and cancer cells?
|
Cancer cells divide uncontrollably. Normal cells divide in a controlled manner and die. |
|
|
|
What are stem cells? |
Stem cells are unspecialized cells |
|
|
|
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis? |
6CO² + H²O > C6H12O6 + 6O² |
|
|
|
What does the digestive system do? |
Breaks down food and absorbs their nutrients into the blood stream for use inside the body. |
|
|
|
What does the excretory system do? |
Filter and detoxifies the bloodstream. |
|
|
|
What does the muscular system do? |
Responsible for all movement in the body. |
|
|
|
What does the respiratory system do? |
Provides blood cells with oxygen and takes away carbon dioxide. |
|
|
|
What does the integumentary system do? |
Bring nutrients and oxygen to the skin and secrets sweat when the body needs to cool down. |
