The Cycle of Cells, Mitosis Style!
Noah Vonwaldner and Eddy Nieves
Interphase
All cells spend 90% of their time in the interphase. There are three types of phases in the Interphase: G1, cell growth, S, DNA is replicating, and G2, getting ready for mitosis.
Prophase
The chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form chromosomes; the nucleus disappears and centrioles move to opposite ends of cell.
Telophase
There are now two nuclei that have formed. Now the chromosomes change back into chromatin.
Passive Transport
This is the diffusion of molecules without the use of ATP energy.
Osmosis
This is the movement of water molecules from high to low concentration; continues until concentrations reach equilibrium or homeostasis. This is a form of passive transport.
Active Transport
This is the movement of water molecules across the cell membrane using ATP energy.
Protien Transport
This is when protein is embedded in the cell membrane and is responsible for picking molecules from the outside or inside of the cell and carrying them across the cell membrane.
Endocytosis
This is a part of the cell membrane which surrounds materials in a vesicle and carries them into the cell.
Exocytosis
This form of transportation carries materials OUT of the cell to be released.
