Making a water cycle model 1. add soil to a plastic cup. 2. place an ice cube on the soil. 3. use plastic wrap to seal the top of the cup. 4. place the cup in a location with direct sunlight. which statement is the best comparison between earth’s water cycle and the model described? a) the water evaporates down into the model’s soil, instead of into the air. b) the ice cube in the model represents condensation in earth’s water cycle. c) when the ice melts, it will model infiltration as it absorbs into the soil. d) condensation occurs in the model’s soil, like it occurs in clouds for earth.

C. When the ice melts, it will model infiltration as it absorbs into the soil.

I got it right on USATESTPREP.

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
