Question 5 Part 1 [6 pts] Apoptosis is an important cellular process where cells within an organism undergo controlled cell death. A. What is one example of how controlled cell death is used by organisms? [2 pts] B. Contrast apoptosis with necrosis. What is necrosis and why might an organism benefit from apoptosis instead of necrosis? [2 pts] C. One of the first steps in apoptosis often involves breaking down the mitochondrial membrane. Explain how this leads rapidly to cell death. [2 pts]

Apoptosis is an important cellular process where cells within an organism undergo controlled cell death. What is one example of how controlled cell death is used by organisms? Contrast apoptosis with necrosis. What is necrosis and why might an organism benefit from apoptosis instead of necrosis? One of the first steps in apoptosis often involves breaking down the mitochondrial membrane. Explain how this leads rapidly to cell death.

1. (a) Discuss the MAJOR characteristics that ALL metabolic pathways share, (ex. control mechanisms, etc.) (b) describe a SPECIFIC metabolic pathway to support your description. 2. (a) DISTINGUISH the tasks accomplished by MITOSIS as compared to MEIOSIS; (b) Discuss the importance of interphase; (c) A DIPLOID cell from a hypothetical organism has 14 chromosomes. How many chromosomes would be found in a sperm or egg cell of this organism? Explain your answer and include the words somatic cells and meiosis.
