Three States of Matter and Cell Cycle Overview

Matter can exist in three physical states: solid, liquid, and gas
In solids, particles are held close together in an orderly fashion with limited movement
Liquids have particles close together but with freedom to move around
Gases have particles far apart with easy and fast movement
Solids have definite volume and shape, liquids have definite volume but not shape, and gases have neither definite volume nor shape
States of matter are interconvertible by changing temperature and pressure
The cell cycle is the series of events in a cell that causes it to divide into two daughter cells
In eukaryotic cells, the cell cycle is divided into interphase and mitosis in the M phase
During interphase, the cell grows and replicates its DNA and organelles
Mitosis involves the separation of replicated chromosomes, organelles, and cytoplasm into two daughter cells
Control mechanisms known as cell cycle checkpoints determine if the cell can progress to the next phase
In prokaryotic cells, the cell cycle is divided into the B, C, and D periods, involving cell division and DNA replication
