Questions and Answers
What is the purpose of mitosis?
What is the purpose of mitosis?
- For growth and repair of cells (correct)
- To produce sperm or egg cells
- To move molecules from high to low concentration
- To break down glucose for energy
Which organisms can rely on diffusion for exchange?
Which organisms can rely on diffusion for exchange?
- Humans
- Organisms with low surface area to volume ratios
- Organisms with high surface area to volume ratios (correct)
- Both A and C
What are the stages of mitosis?
What are the stages of mitosis?
- Telophase, interphase, prophase, and metaphase
- Anaphase, telophase, interphase, and prophase
- Metaphase, interphase, prophase, and anaphase
- Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase (correct)
Study Notes
- Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to produce ATP for energy.
- Diffusion is the movement of molecules from high to low concentration.
- Organisms with high surface area to volume ratios can rely on diffusion for exchange.
- Humans have low surface area to volume ratios and rely on specialized exchange surfaces.
- The cell cycle has two phases: interphase and mitosis.
- Mitosis is a type of cell division for growth and repair.
- Mitosis does not produce sperm or egg cells (meiosis).
- Mitosis has four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
- Spindles help move chromosomes during mitosis.
- New cells are formed with new nuclei during mitosis.
