The phase of interphase in which the cell grows in size and a sufficient amount of proteins are made for DNA replication.

Card 7
Front
The phase of interphase in which DNA is replicated and there is very little protein synthesis and RNA transcription, except in histone proteins.
Back
Card 8
Front
The phase in interphase in which there are high levels of protein synthesis, particularly in the formation of microtubules.

Card 9
Front
The processes that a cell endures from its first formation as one of two identical daughter cells until it divides to form its own two identical daughter cells.
Back
Card 10
Front
The name given to G1, S and G2, in which DNA is replicated, the cell grows and new organelles and proteins are synthesised.

Card 11
Front
The spherical, single membrane-bound organelle which contains digestive enzymes and is responsible for the breakdown of worn/ damaged structures and 'cell suicide'.
Back
Card 12
Front
A series of flattened stacks formed by the fusion of vesicles from the rER. It is responsible for the modification and transportation of proteins.
Back
Card 13
Front
A series of membrane-bound sacs which are studded with ribosomes and the site of protein synthesis, as well as protein transport and packaging.
Back
Card 14
Front
A series of flattened sacs which runs continuous with the nuclear envelope and is responsible for steroid and protein manufacture, carb metabolism and drug and poison detoxification.
Back
Card 15
Front
A pectin layer which cements the cell walls of two adjoining plant cells together, to increase the stability of the plant.
