A biologist examines a series of cells and counts 160 cells in interphase, 20 cells in prophase, 6 cells in prometaphase, 2 cell

s in metaphase, 7 cells in anaphase, and 5 cells in telophase. The complete cell cycle requires 24 hours. Match the average duration to the appropriate cell cycle stage in these cells. M phase prophase metaphase telophase 4.8 hours 14.4 minutes 2.4 hours 36 minutes

Answer:

M phase: 4.8 hr

Prophase: 2.4 hr

Prometaphase: 0.72 hr

Metaphase: 0.24 hr

Anaphase: 0.84 hr

Telophase: 0.6 hr

Explanation:

Mitosis, also known as M phase, is the process of nuclear division after interphase, which is followed by cytoplasmic division via cytokinesis. Mitosis can be subdivided into the following phases: Prophase,  Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. In this case, 160 cells are in interphase (for a total of 200 cells), thereby 40 cells are in mitosis >> 200 - 160 = 40 cells. Since the complete cell cycle requires 24 hours, it is possible to calculate the average duration of each phase:

M phase: 40/200 = 0.2 x 24 hr = 4.8 hr

Prophase: 20/200 = 0.1 x 24 hr = 2.4 hr

Prometaphase: 6/200 = 0.030 x 24 hr = 0.72 hr

Metaphase: 2/200 = 0.01 x 24 hr = 0.24 hr

Anaphase: 7/200 = 0.035 x 24 hr = 0.84 hr

Telophase: 5/200 = 0.025 x 24 hr = 0.6 hr

ATP is used for what?
ZanzabumX [31]
ATP is an energy carrier that holds energy after processes like cellular respiration. The body can turn ATP into energy to do processes like physical movement later on. 

Hope this helps :)
