1. Questions 1.Are the cells of the small plant larger or smaller than those of the larger plant? Are the cells of the small animal larger of smaller than those of the large animal. 2.Can you make a general statement that compares the number and size of cells in small organisms to those in large organisms.

2. 10 – 1: Cell Growth and Division

3. How do living things grow? Grow by producing more cells. (Cells do not increase in size) –A human adult has about 10 trillion – 100 trillion cells in their entire body. –About how many cells does a newborn baby have? Answer: Much less Cells Dividing Blood Lily

4. Limits to Cell Growth 2 reasons why cells divide rather than grow? 1.The larger cell has more trouble moving nutrients and waste across the cell membrane. 2.The larger the cell, the more demand the cell places on its DNA.

5. DNA “Overload” DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell Why can’t a cell grow without limit? When a cell grows, it does not make more copies of its DNA. If the cell grew continuously, there would be information crisis.

6. Exchanging Material What substances may move through the cell membrane? Answer: Food, oxygen and water enters. Waste leaves the cell. The rate materials exchange depends on the surface area of the cell The rate materials are used depends on the cell’s volume (size).

7. Ratio of Surface Area to Volume Surface to volume ratio Volume increases faster than surface –The cell uses materials faster than it can get them in Town analogy: A small town has only a 2 lane street. As the town grows there is more traffic on the 2 lane street.

8. Asexual Reproduction –Asexual reproduction - a single parent producing an offspring. The offspring produced are, in most cases, genetically identical to the parent. –Asexual reproduction is a simple, efficient, and rapid way for an organism to produce a large number of offspring. –Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic single- celled organisms and many multicellular organisms can reproduce asexually. Ex. hydra, bacteria, yeast

9. Sexual Reproduction –In sexual reproduction, offspring are produced by the fusion of two sex cells – one from each of two parents. –The offspring produced inherit some genetic information from both parents, therefore they are genetically different. –Most animals and plants, and many single-celled organisms, reproduce sexually.

10. Cells divide to form two new cells called daughter cells This process is called cell division (mitosis) Before it can occur, what has to happen? The cell replicates, or copies, all its DNA DNA is condensed into a manageable form (chromosome) so it can be divided precisely 10.2 The Process of Cell Division

11. Section 10-2: Cell Division Prokaryotes – less complicated division –Replicate DNA – divide everything up between 2 cells. Eukaryotes – more complicated division 2 Main Stages 1.Mitosis – division of the nucleus 2.Cytokinesis – division of cytoplasm

12. Chromosomes Chromosomes – bundled packages of DNA that contain genetic information Every organism has a specific number of chromosomes –Fruit flies – 4 –Dog - 78 –Carrots – 18 –How many chromosomes do humans have? 46 (23 pairs)

13. Chromosomes Chromosomes are only visible when the cell divides. Why is this? DNA and protein molecules are spread throughout the nucleus in the form of Chromatin. Chromatin condenses during cell division. Before division, the chromosome (DNA) is replicated The replicated chromosome consists of 2 identical “sister” chromatids. –One chromatid goes to each new cell –Held together near the center by centromere TEM 36,000  Centromere Sister chromatids Exact copies of each other

14. Chromosomes (a closer look) Chromatin is a complex of DNA coiled around proteins called histones The DNA and histone molecules then form beadlike structures called nucleosomes. The chromosome “X” shape we usually see drawn is a duplicated chromosome made of supercoiled chromatin

15. Eukaryotic Cell Cycle The cell cycle represents the events in the life of a cell. Interphase  Growth Phase most time spent in this phase G1  Cell growth S  Replication of DNA G2  Final growth and prepare for division Mitosis (M phase)  Division of the nucleus (can last hours to a few days) 4 Phases: 1.Prophase 2.Metaphase 3.Anaphase 4.Telophase

16. Mitosis – Prophase first and, longest phase DNA condenses into chromosomes 2 centrioles (microtubules) take positions on opposite sides of the nucleus Spindle begins to form What is a spindle? A fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate chromosomes.

17. Cytokinesis Division of the cytoplasm Occurs at the same time as telophase Actin (blue) and microtubules (orange) at the end of cytokinesis in a green urchin zygote.

18. Cytokinesis - Animal Animal cells are surrounded by a cell membrane Animal Cell  Formation of a cleavage furrow Cleavage furrow SEM 140  Daughter cells Cleavage furrow Contracting ring of microfilaments

19. Cytokinesis - Plant Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall Plant Cell  Formation of cell plate TEM 7,500  Cell plate forming Wall of parent cell Daughter nucleus Cell wall New cell wall Vesicles containing cell wall material Cell plate Daughter cells

20. Mitosis Animation

21. Cell Division - Prokaryotes Prokaryote  unicellular bacteria with no nucleus Binary Fission  DNA is replicated, cell doubles in size and splits

22. 10-3 Regulating the Cell Cycle Cell growth and division is very controlled True or False – All cells move through the cell cycle at the same rate.

23. Controls of Cell Division What happens when cells are grown in a petri dish? Cells will grow until they form a thin layer covering the bottom of the dish. What does this experiment show? Controls of cell division can be turned on and off. What happens in our body that is similar? Cells at the edge of an injury are stimulated to divide rapidly.

24. Cell Cycle Regulators Scientists have been trying to determine what regulates the cell cycle. Found a protein – if they inject it into a non- dividing cell, the cell enters mitosis What is the protein called? Cyclin Why? regulates cell cycle Cyclins regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.

25. Internal Regulators Proteins that respond to events inside the cell Ex: Don’t allow mitosis to start until all chromosomes are replicated. External Regulators Proteins that respond to events outside the cell. Ex: Growth Factors found on the outside of cells can speed up or slow down cell division

26. Uncontrolled Cell Growth = CANCER Cancer cells do not respond to cycle regulators Results –Divide uncontrollably –Form tumors (masses of cells) that can damage the surrounding tissue

27. Uncontrolled Cell Growth = CANCER –Cancer cells may break loose from tumors and spread throughout the body disrupting normal activities. What are some causes of cancer? smoking tobacco, radiation exposure, viral infection

28. Uncontrolled Cell Growth = CANCER
