• Breakdown of glucose
• Anaerobic or aerobic process
• Final outcome
– 2 pyruvic acid molecules, 2 ATP molecules
(anaerobic), 8 ATP molecules (aerobic)
• Metaphase
– Chromatids align at equator of cell
– Centromere divides
• Anaphase
– Divided centromere pulls chromatids to
opposite pole
– Cytokinesis begins
• Telophase
– Chromosomes uncoil and decondense
– Spindle apparatus breaks down
– New nuclear membrane forms
– Cytokinesis nearly complete
• Animal cells
– Cleavage furrow forms
– Cell is pinched into daughter cells
• Plant cells
– Cell plate forms at equator
– Cell plate becomes new cell wall
