Mitosis and Cell Cycle POGIL

The Cell Cycle
What controls the life and development of a cell?

An old piece of poetry says “to everything there is a season... a time to be born, a time to die.” For cells, the line might say “a time to divide and a time to grow.” In multicellular organisms, different types of cells have different roles and need to complete specific tasks. For example, a cell that isn’t large enough is not useful for storing nutrients for later, but a cell that is too large will not be useful for transportation through a tiny capillary. In this activity, you will learn about the seasons of a cell’s life, and in turn better understand how organisms function.
