If the membrane didn't dissolve, the cell would contain two cells in one. It just follows that it has to do so to form two separate cells.

What do substances disslove in before entering a cell?

Substances such as enzymes can dissolve in lipids before entering a cell. They can also dissolve in the cell's membrane.


The division of the cell nucleus called?

Mitosis is the process that refers to the splitting of the nucleus, in which two daughter nuclei are produced. Cytokinesis refers to the division of the membrane and cytoplasm.


During Mitosis the cell is performing its special job?

No, the cell performs its special job during inter phase. During mitosis, the membrane around the cell's nucleus dissolves and the chromatids of each chromosome are separated and pulled to each end of the cell. As the nuclear membrane re-forms around each set of chromosomes, the cytoplasm of the parent cell begins to divide to form two daughter cells.www.answers.com/topic/mitosis


Do any of the Cells lack a Cell membrane?

Yes, all cells have a cell membrane. A cell membrane is necessary because it controls what materials go in and out of a cell. Without it, many harmful products would go into a cell and the cell would be destroyed.


What happens during the four phases of mitosis?

Fist thing that happens is Interphase. This is what a cell spends most of its life in, but it is not part of Mitosis, it is before. Interphase is the duplicating of the cell's chromosomes( which hold the DNA). Next is Mitosis. I remember the four stages of Mitosis by PMAT. First stage of mitosis is Prophase, this is when the membrane surrounding the chromosomes is dissolved. Second stage is Metaphase, the chromosomes line up in the middle in pairs. Third stage is Anaphase, the chromosome pairs separate and go to opposite sides of the cell. Last stage of Mitosis is Telephase, the cell starts to split in half taking one of each chromosome. After Mitosis is Cytokinesis, this is when the membrane forms around the the chromosomes and the 1 parent cell is now 2 daughter cells.

What is the process where nucleus divide?

telophase is the point at which the two nuclei are divided and cell membrane is pinched to form a daughter cell


Is mitosis a cycle?

Yes. Mitosis starts off as a single cell then the cell membrane disinegrates, the DNA divides and the cell membrane grows back on. And it eventually doubles and it repeats the process over and over.
