¨When scientists approach a problem to solve, they will often start by gathering information. You and your friends decide to do the same. The park ranger helps out by giving you a map of the park with information about the surrounding areas.¨ 1.What information can you get from this map that is relevant to the problem being solved?

2.What further information do you need to gather to solve this problem? What investigations do you think you should conduct in order to test your predictions?

3.Based on the information you have gathered about the areas surrounding the pond, have your predictions about the cause of the algal bloom changed? Write what you now think the main cause is and the reasons for your new predictions.

you need to figure out the landscapes and where certain things grow. you should try to figure out what thrives in that environment

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
