2 10–1 Cell Growth

3 Limitations on cell sizes Unit of measure for most cells = µm (micrometer) –Micrometer (10 –6 m) = 1/1,000,000 meter Red blood cells = 8 µm dia. Large nerve cells = 1 m in length Most cells = 2 – 200 µm dia.

4 Surface area to volume ratio Which dimension (area or volume) increases faster as cubes become larger? If the cell dimensions double, how many times more cytoplasm requires food/produces waste? Did the surface area increase this many times too? What will be the surface area and volume of the 3rd cube? Surface area = _____ Volume = _______

5 What problems does growth cause for cells? Problems occur in cells if they get too big; ratio of surface area : volume –If ratio gets too small (ex. 1.5:1), cell is in danger of dying. Diffusion time tends to limit most cell sizes –Very slow process; cells would die if they’re too big because diffused substances could take days/weeks to reach target organelles. DNA control of the cell also limits size -- it relies on diffusion of regulating molecules it sends out from nucleus into the cytoplasm Limits to Cell Growth

6 What must the cell do to overcome... –1. Surface area : volume ratio problem –2. DNA control limit; –3. Diffusion time limit ? ? ? DIVIDE and stay SMALL –This will keep surface area LARGE compared to volume Division of the Cell Before it becomes too large, a growing cell divides forming two “daughter” cells. The process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells is called cell division.

7 Cells will reproduce in order to... 1. overcome previous limitations 2. replace old, worn out cells 3. replace damaged cells 4. grow an organism Most humans will divide cells for about 50 generations of cells Offspring cells (daughter cells) must each receive the same DNA information as the original cell –Chromatin condenses into chromosomes just before cell division

9 10-2 Cell Division

10 Chromosomes Genetic information is passed from one generation to the next on chromosomes. Before cell division, each chromosome is duplicated, or copied.

11 Chromosomes Each chromosome consists of two identical “sister” chromatids. Chromatids: one functions as a template and the other is an exact copy –Each pair of chromatids is attached at an area called the centromere. Sister chromatids Centromere DNA: chromatin (colored thread) chromosome (colored body) [Note: prokaryotic chromosome is a large loop of DNA] *Binary Fission*

12 Eukaryotic chromosomes Human chromosomes – just before cell division (950X)

13 In eukaryotes, cell division occurs in two major stages. The first stage, division of the cell nucleus, is called mitosis. The second stage, division of the cell cytoplasm, is called cytokinesis. Cell Division

14 Cell Life: Play by play Cell Life Cycle: Interphase: most of the life of the cell G1, S phase, G2 Mitosis: Brief time of cell division: nucleus division process which produces 2 daughter nuclei with exactly the same chromosomes as the parent cell Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase (with cytokinesis) Then the cycle starts over again for the two new daughter cells.

15 Cell Cycle Events of the Cell Cycle Chromatid formation Cell is at maximum size Cell Division

16 Mitosis –Prophase Prophase is the first and longest phase of mitosis. Chromatin condenses into chromosomes. The nuclear envelope breaks down. The centrioles separate and take up positions on opposite sides of the nucleus. A spindle begins to form. »The centrioles lie in a region called the centrosome. »The centrosome helps to organize the spindle, a fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes. Spindle forming Centromere Chromosomes (paired chromatids)

17 Mitosis –Metaphase The second phase of mitosis is metaphase. The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Microtubules connect the centromere of each chromosome to the poles of the spindle. Centriole Spindle Spindle fibers: made of microtubules; attach to centromeres

18 Mitosis –Anaphase Anaphase is the third phase of mitosis. The sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes. The chromosomes continue to move until they have separated into two groups. Individual chromosomes

19 Mitosis –Telophase Telophase is the fourth and final phase of mitosis. Chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shape. A new nuclear envelope forms around each cluster of chromosomes. Cytokinesis: pinching of cytoplasm in animal cells; formation of a cell plate in plant cells

20 Cytokinesis During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm pinches in half. Each daughter cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes

21 Cytokinesis in Plants In plants, a structure known as the cell plate forms midway between the divided nuclei. The cell plate gradually develops into a separating membrane. A cell wall then begins to appear in the cell plate. Cell wall Cell plate

25 Results of mitosis If organism is unicellular, this is reproduction (ex. Amoeba, Paramecium) *Binary Fission* Development and growth occurs in multicellular organisms: –Cells divide and cluster into tissues –Tissues form into organs –Organs function together as organ systems –Organ systems make the whole organism

26 10-3 Regulating the Cell Cycle

27

28 Control of the cell cycle Normal cells proceed through the cell cycle under the control of groups of enzymes –Amounts of different enzymes increase and decrease Amounts of enzymes act as triggers for the cell to proceed to the next step of the cell cycle. If enzyme concentrations are incorrect the cell will stop and degrade Normal cells will stop dividing when they contact other cells (contact inhibition) Cancer cells lack contact inhibition The type of cancer and its occurrence depend on the country one lives in.

29 Controls on Cell Division Contact Inhibition

30 –Internal Regulators Proteins that respond to events inside the cell. Allow the cell cycle to proceed only when certain processes have happened inside the cell. –External Regulators Proteins that respond to events outside the cell. Direct cells to speed up or slow down the cell cycle. Cell Cycle Regulators

31 A sample of cytoplasm is removed from a cell in mitosis. The sample is injected into a second cell in G 2 of interphase. As result, the second cell enters mitosis. Cyclins were discovered during a similar experiment to this one. Cell Cycle Regulators –The amount of this protein in the cell rises and falls in time with the cell cycle. –Scientists called this protein cyclin because it seemed to regulate the cell cycle. –Cyclins regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.

32 Cells rely on proper enzymes (a protein called cyclin) working in sequences –Structure of enzymes is coded for in the genes A gene is a segment of DNA Sometimes a gene is accidentally mutated (changed) by external factors: –UV light –Chemicals from tobacco, water supply, air pollution, etc. –X radiation, nuclear radiation

33 Incorrect enzymes may lead to loss of cell cycle control –Cells divide more rapidly; don’t stop dividing when they contact other cells -- make tumors (benign or malignant) and invade other parts of the body (metastasis). –This is the description of CANCER

34 Prevention Diet –Low fat, more plant fiber –More vitamins A, C, E These are antioxidants and reduce the amount of free radicals (charged particles) in the cells –These chemicals can attach to DNA and cause mutations which lead to cancer More exercise Avoid tobacco products These all reduce the risk of cancer, but don’t guarantee escape from getting it -- especially if it’s in the family gene line.
