  1. Cell Processes Review Part 2

  2. Cell Cycle • The cell cycle is an ordered set of events, culminating in cell growth and division into two daughter cells.

  3. Mitosis • Growth occurs in the G1 and G2 phases. • The S stage stands for "Synthesis". This is the stage when DNA replication occurs. • The M stage stands for "mitosis”. In mitosis, two genetically identical daughter cells are produced.

  4. Meiosis • Meiosis is the process by which a cell divides and produces sperm or egg cells. • This process happens only in the reproductive cells. • In this process the cell must divide in half twice. When a cell divides during meiosis, four new cells are created. As each sperm or egg is made, new combinations of chromosomes and genes are created.

  5. Mitosis vs. Meiosis • Purpose: • Mitosis: To make daughter cells identical to the parent cells - eg during growth and repair. • Meiosis: To produce sex cells (gametes). • Takes place: • Mitosis: In all cells apart from gametes. • Meiosis: In the reproductive organs (ovaries and testes).

  6. Mitosis vs. Meiosis • Produces how many cells? • Mitosis: Two daughter cells. • Meiosis: Four gametes. • What happens to number of chromosomes? • Mitosis: Same number as in parent cell. • Meiosis: Half as many as in parent cell (The original number of chromosomes is restored when two gametes fuse to form a zygote.)

  7. ATP • Molecule that stores and releases energy in the bonding of the end phosphate molecule.

  8. Cellular Respiration • Process in which energy (ATP) is produced from food (glucose). • 3 steps: glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron transport chain C6H12O6 + 6O2—> 6CO2 + 6H2O

  9. Glycolysis • 6-carbon glucose molecule is broken down to two 3-carbon molecules. • Oxygen is NOT required. • 2 net ATP molecules are produced.

  10. Citric Acid Cycle • aka Kreb’s Cycle • 3-carbon molecules are broken down in CO2 • 2 net ATPs are produced • high energy electrons are sent to electron transport system CO2 high energy electrons

  11. Electron Transport Chain • Electrons go through several chemical reactions to produce a net of 34 ATPs.
