Cell Biology Fundamentals: Cycle, Control, and Structure

Cell Cycle: Growth, Replication, and Division

The cell cycle is an ordered sequence of events enabling a cell to grow, replicate its DNA, and divide into two genetically identical daughter cells, ensuring accurate genetic transmission. It comprises interphase (G1, S, G2 phases) and the mitotic (M) phase (mitosis and cytokinesis).

  • G1 Phase: The cell grows metabolically, synthesizing proteins and organelles while assessing environmental conditions at the restriction point before committing to division.

Mechanisms of Biological Gas Exchange

Gas Exchange Fundamentals

Gas exchange is the process where an organism takes in oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide. Oxygen is essential for respiration and must reach every cell. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of respiration that must be removed from the body. Gas exchange occurs via diffusion across a gas exchange surface. Oxygen diffuses from air or water, either into the blood for transport to the cells or directly into the cells. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the cells or the blood back
