B. root hairs: increase surface area which allow for efficient absorption of water and minerals
C. actin and myosin: slide past one another as the muscle contracts and expands for organism activity
D. pili: allow cells to sense changes in their surroundings which in turn allows the cells to respond
appropriately

Part III. Identification. Use the word bank to identify what is being described.
_________________1.) A critical control point in the Cell Cycle where ‘stop’ and ‘go-ahead’ signals can regulate the
cell cycle.
_________________2.) Ensures that DNA replication in S phase has been successfully completed.
_________________3.) Ensures that the cell is large enough to divide and that enough nutrients are available to
support the resulting daughter cells.
__________________4.) If the cell does not receive the ‘go-ahead’ signal, it will exit the Cell Cycle and switch to a
non-dividing state called ____________.
__________________5.) Ensures that all of the chromosomes are attached to the mitotic spindle by a kinetochore.
__________________6.) A protein which activates or deactivates another protein by phosphorylating them.
__________________7.) Results in reducing the number of chromosomes (reduction division).
__________________8.) In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs by the formation of a constriction called __________.
__________________9.) DNA synthesis happens in what part of interphase.
__________________10.) The image shows _________________.

Kinases G2 checkpoint G0 phase Metaphase II

Histones Cell Plate S phase Cleavage furrow
G1 checkpoint M checkpoint metaphase I Cell checkpoint
