Cell Size Limitations The cells that make up a multicellular organism come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Considering this wide range of cells sizes, why then can’t most organisms be just one giant cell? Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Diffusion limits cell size Although diffusion is a fast and efficient process over short distances, it becomes slow and inefficient as the distances become larger. Because of the slow rate of diffusion, organisms can’t be just one giant-sized cell. Section 8.2 Summary – pages

DNA limits cell size The cell cannot survive unless there is enough DNA to support the protein needs of the cell. In many large cells, more than one nucleus is present. Large amounts of DNA in many nuclei ensure that cell activities are carried out quickly and efficiently. Section 8.2 Summary – pages

The Cell Cycle The cell cycle is the sequence of growth and division of a cell. The majority of a cell’s life is spent in the growth period known as interphase. Interphase Section 8.2 Summary – pages

The Cell Cycle Following interphase, a cell enters its period of nuclear division called mitosis. Following mitosis, the cytoplasm divides, separating the two daughter cells. Mitosis Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Interphase: A Busy Time Interphase, the busiest phase of the cell cycle, is divided into three parts. Interphase DNA synthesis and replication Centrioles replicate; cell prepares for division Rapid growth and metabolic activity Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Interphase: A Busy Time During the first part, the cell grows and protein production is high. Interphase Rapid growth and metabolic activity Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Interphase: A Busy Time In the next part of interphase, the cell copies its chromosomes. Interphase DNA synthesis and replication Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Interphase: A Busy Time After the chromosomes have been duplicated, the cell enters another shorter growth period in which mitochondria and other organelles are manufactured and cell parts needed for cell division are assembled. Interphase Centrioles replicate; cell prepares for division Section 8.2 Summary – pages

The Phases of Mitosis The four phases of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Prophase: The first phase of mitosis During prophase, the chromatin coils to form visible chromosomes. Spindle fibers Disappearing nuclear envelope Doubled chromosome Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Prophase: The first phase of mitosis The two halves of the doubled structure are called sister chromatids. Sister chromatids Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Prophase: The first phase of mitosis Sister chromatids are held together by a structure called a centromere, which plays a role in chromosome movement during mitosis. Centromere Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Metaphase: The second stage of mitosis During metaphase, the chromosomes move to the equator of the spindle. Centromere Sister chromatids Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Anaphase: The third phase of mitosis During anaphase, the centromeres split and the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell. Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Telophase: The fourth phase of mitosis During telophase, two distinct daughter cells are formed. The cells separate as the cell cycle proceeds into the next interphase. Nuclear envelope reappears Two daughter cells are formed Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Cytokinesis Following telophase, the cell’s cytoplasm divides in a process called cytokinesis. Cytokinesis differs between plants and animals. Toward the end of telophase in animal cells, the plasma membrane pinches in along the equator. Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Cytokinesis Plant cells have a rigid cell wall, so the plasma membrane does not pinch in. A structure known as the cell plate is laid down across the cell’s equator. A cell membrane forms around each cell, and new cell walls form on each side of the cell plate until separation is complete. Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Results of Mitosis When mitosis is complete, unicellular organisms remain as single cells. In multicellular organisms, cell growth and reproduction result in groups of cells that work together as tissue to perform a specific function. Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Results of Mitosis Tissues organize in various combinations to form organs that perform more complex roles within the organism. Multiple organs that work together form an organ system. Section 8.2 Summary – pages

Section 3 Objectives – page 211
Describe the role of enzymes in the regulation of the cell cycle. Distinguish between the events of a normal cell cycle and the abnormal events that result in cancer. Identify ways to potentially reduce the risk of cancer. Section 3 Objectives – page 211

Normal Control of the Cell Cycle Proteins and enzymes control the cell cycle The cell cycle is controlled by proteins called cyclins and a set of enzymes that attach to the cyclin and become activated. Occasionally, cells lose control of the cell cycle. Section 8.3 Summary – pages

Normal Control of the Cell Cycle This uncontrolled dividing of cells can result from the failure to produce certain enzymes, the overproduction of enzymes, or the production of other enzymes at the wrong time. Cancer is a malignant growth resulting from uncontrolled cell division. Section 8.3 Summary – pages

Normal Control of the Cell Cycle Enzyme production is directed by genes located on the chromosomes. A gene is a segment of DNA that controls the production of a protein. Section 8.3 Summary – pages

Cancer: A mistake in the Cell Cycle Currently, scientists consider cancer to be a result of changes in one or more of the genes that produce substances that are involved in controlling the cell cycle. Cancerous cells form masses of tissue called tumors that deprive normal cells of nutrients. Section 8.3 Summary – pages

Cancer: A mistake in the Cell Cycle In later stages, cancer cells enter the circulatory system and spread throughout the body, a process called metastasis, forming new tumors that disrupt the function of organs, organ systems, and ultimately, the organism. Section 8.3 Summary – pages

The causes of cancer The causes of cancer are difficult to pinpoint because both genetic and environmental factors are involved. Section 8.3 Summary – pages

The causes of cancer Environmental factors, such as cigarette smoke, air and water pollution, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, are all known to damage the genes that control the cell cycle. Section 8.3 Summary – pages

The causes of cancer Cancer may also be caused by viral infections that damage the genes. Section 8.3 Summary – pages

Cellular Transport Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. Passive transport moves a substance with the concentration gradient and requires no energy from the cell. Chapter Summary – 8.1

Cellular Transport Active transport moves materials against the concentration gradient and requires energy to overcome the flow of materials opposite the concentration gradient. Large particles may enter a cell by endocytosis and leave by exocytosis. Chapter Summary – 8.1

Cell Growth and Reproduction
Cell size is limited largely by the diffusion rate of materials into and out of the cell, the amount of DNA available to program the cell’s metabolism, and the cell’s surface area-to-volume ratio. The life cycle of a cell is divided into two general periods: a period of active growth and metabolism known as interphase, and a period that leads to cell division known as mitosis. Chapter Summary – 8.2

Cell Growth and Reproduction
Mitosis is divided into four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The cells of most multicellular organisms are organized into tissues, organs, and organ systems. Chapter Summary – 8.2

Control of the Cell Cycle
The cell cycle is controlled by key enzymes that are produced at specific points in the cell cycle. Cancer is caused by genetic and environmental factors that change the genes that control the cell cycle. Chapter Summary – 8.3

Question 1 Which of the following is a factor that controls osmosis?
A. prophase B. concentration gradient C. conditioning D. carrier proteins Chapter Assessment
