Study Notes
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
