Ch 10: Cell Cycle Coloring Worksheet
Name ________________________________________
Directions: Label the diagram below with the following:
Interphase
Mitosis
G2
G1
Cytokinesis
Metaphase
Telophase
Anaphase
S
Prophase
Then on the diagram, lightly color the G1 phase BLUE, the S phase YELLOW, the G2 phase RED, and the
stages of mitosis ORANGE. Color the arrows indicating all of the interphases in GREEN. Color the arrow
indicating mitosis PURPLE. Color the arrow for cytokinesis BLACK and the stage of cytokinesis BROWN.
Ch 10.1 Cell Cycle
Name ________________________________________________
Use the cell cycle diagram and your notes to answer the following questions.
1. The process of a cell dividing into two new daughter cells is called _________________________________.
2. (T/F) Most cells reach a certain size, stop growing, and then divide.
3. Compare/contrast sexual and asexual reproduction.
4. Compare/contrast chromosome and chromatin.
5. The repeated pattern of growth and division in cells is called the ___________________________________.
6. Which takes the most time during the cell cycle…INTERPHASE, MITOSIS, or CYTOKINESIS?
7. During what stage does the G1, S, and G2 phases happen?
8. What part of the cell divides during mitosis?
9. What part of the cell divides during cytokinesis?
10. How many stages are there in mitosis?
11. Put the following stages of mitosis in order: anaphase, prophase, metaphase, and telophase.
12. Put the following stages of interphase in order: G2, S, G1
13. Put the following in order: G2, G1, S, mitosis, cytokinesis.
14. Cells are better being small which is why they divide. List 5 reasons why small cells are more efficient than
larger cells.
Calculate using the following formulas:
Volume -- L x W x H
Surface Area -- (L x W x 2) + (L x H x 2) + (W x H x 2)
Surface Area/Volume – surface area divided by volume  your answer should be a decimal and round
to the nearest hundredth (.##)
15. The (cytoplasm, cell membrane) represents the surface area of a cell.
16. The (cytoplasm, cell membrane) represents the volume of a cell.
17. Calculate the volume of cube A. Remember units!
18. Calculate the surface area of cube A. Remember units!
12 cm
A
6 cm
8 cm
19. Calculate the surface area to volume ratio of cube A.
20. Calculate the volume of cube B. Remember units!
5 cm
B
2 cm
6 cm
21. Calculate the surface area of cube B. Remember units!
22. Calculate the surface area to volume ratio of cube B.
23. Which cube would be more efficient with cell activities (transportation, supplying nutrients, communication, etc.)?
Hint: Which one has the highest surface area/volume ratio?
