The Integumentary System More Than Skin Deep Cell Cycle

TAKS TAKS Objective 2 – The student will demonstrate an understanding of living systems and the environment.

TEKS The student knows the structures and functions of nucleic acids in the mechanisms of genetics. The student is expected to describe components of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA); and illustrate how information fro specifying traits of an organism is carried in the DNA; explain replication, transcription, and translation using models of DNA and ribonucleic acid

Engage Humans shed their entire epidermis every 15 to 30 days. Bloodhounds detect this upon tracking

Explore 1: Cell Cycle Research Student will complete a cell cycle diagram with detailed description of cellular activity in each of the cell cycle phases.

Cell Cycle

Explain: Cell Cycle All cells constantly replace themselves by a process called mitosis, which is a small section of the cell cycle. New skin cells push the older generation of cells toward the surface of the skin, where they are finally shed as a flake-like, lifeless, residue

What are the two main phases of the cell cycle? includes M phase (Mitosis) Interphase is divided into is divided into G1 phase S phase Prophase G2 phase Metaphase Telophase Anaphase

The Cell Cycle? Cell cycle - changes a cell goes through during its life span. contains 2 main steps. 1.Interphase (LONGEST phase of the cell cycle and has three parts) G1 (Everyday Cellular Activity) S (DNA Synthesis) G2 (Other Organelles Replicated) 2. M-Phase or Mitotic Phase (Shortest phase) Mitosis (Nuclear Division) Cytokinesis (Cytoplasm Division)

Photo 51 Scientific contributions to the discovery of the DNA structure.

Review: Interphase (G1) What is the main purpose of a cell that is in G1? G1 Phase: During this stage the cell is carrying on its everyday activities. If the cell’s surface to volume ratio gets too big then the cell must get ready to divide. Do some cells entering a resting state? What is this phase called? G0 Phase: Resting State - Some cells leave the cell cycle and stay here much longer than others ex) brain, nerve, etc…

Explain: DNA Nucleotides Purines Pyrimidines Section 12-1 Adenine Guanine Cytosine Thymine Phosphate group Deoxyribose

Structure of DNA Nucleotide Hydrogen bonds Sugar-phosphate backbone Section 12-1 Hydrogen bonds Nucleotide Sugar-phosphate backbone Key Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G)

DNA Deoxyribose Sugar Base Pairs A-T G-C Phosphate

What is a Nucleotide? The basic building block of nucleic acids containing a sugar, base, and a phosphate. P B S S = Deoxyribose Sugar or Ribose Sugar B = Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine or Uracil P = Phosphate

Sugar

Bases (Nitrogenous Bases) These chemicals are often called nitrogenous bases because of the high content of nitrogen (N) atoms

Purines

Pyrimidines 1) Cytosine (C) 2) Thymine (T) 3) Uracil (U)

Phosphate             

Nucleotide The Sugar and the Phosphate make up the backbone of the structure The bases make up the rungs of the ladder

Different Types of Nucleotides in DNA Deoxy---Adenine | P Deoxy----Thymine Deoxy---Cytosine Deoxy----Guanine

Many Nucleotides Together

Parts of DNA and RNA Have a Sugar/Phosphate Backbone Bases make up the steps of the ladder A-T---DNA A-U---RNA G-C---DNA & RNA
