Study Notes
Cell Division Functions
- Cell division enables growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues and organs in an organism.
- It allows for the reproduction of an organism, as it produces gametes (sperm and egg cells).
- Cell division also enables the replacement of damaged or dead cells.
Cell Cycle
- DNA condenses to form separate chromosomes during the prophase stage of the cell cycle.
Active Transport
- The primary function of active transport in a cell is to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration, requiring energy input.
Cell Division Structures
- Centrioles aid in cell division by pulling chromatids apart into each side of the cell.
