1. Describe the purpose of mitosis. 2. Describe what is happening in each stage and what each stage looks like:
Prophase
Prometaphase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis

1) The purpose of mitosis is growth and repair of cells

Explanation:

Prophase:

-DNA condenses (supercoiled, chromatids are visible under light microscope);

-Nuclear membrane begins to disintegrate (by the end of prophase  it is completely gone)

-Centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell

-Splinde fibers start to form from the centrioles and grow

Metaphase:

-Spindle fibers, departing from both poles, are attached to each centromere, on opposite sides

-The spindle fibers pull the chromosomes back and forth until they align in a plane along the equator of the cell, which is called the equatorial plane

Anaphase:

-The spindle fibers shorten

-The centromeres of sister chromatids split

-Chromatids move apart, pulled by the spindle fibers

-Chromatids become chromosomes

-Half of the chromosomes move to one cell pole, half to the other

Telophase:

-The chromosomes reach the cell pole

-Nuclear membrane reforms

-Spindle fibers break down and disappear

-The chromosomes begin to uncoil, which makes them diffuse and less compact

Cytokinesis:

-The cell membrane pinches inward until the cell divides in two;

-There are two daughter cells with the same structures and number of chromosomes as the parent cell

-Chromosomes decondense

the most common energy conversion is from kinetic energy to potential energy, and then from potential energy to kinetic energy.

later on comes the heat energy, mechanical energy, and other energy conversions.

this energy conversion is so common that we can find it in our day to day lives as well.

- one of the most common energy conversions involves the changing of potential energy to kinetic energy or kinetic energy to potential energy
