2. Cell Growth and Division

3. Cell Growth Living things grow chiefly because of two things.  1. The number of cells increases.

4.  2. The size of each individual cell increases. Number 1 is actually due to number 2!

5. Volume vs. Area The volume, the growth of the internal parts of the cell surpasses that of the area, or external parts of the cell.

6. Limits The growth is limited by two things  The instructions, DNA.  The amount of available materials.

7. Cell division The point at which the internal exceeds the external = division. Parent Daughter 1 Daughter 2

8. Rate of growth In ideal conditions, E- coli can double its volume in just 30 minutes. In one day a single bacteria could produce a 14 Kg mass.

9. In three days the mass of the bacteria would equal that of the…

10. Disorderly growth Cancer: a disorder in which cells have lost the ability to control their rate of growth. P D1 D2 D3 D2 D3 D1 D2 D3 D2 D3

11. Cell Division There are two main stages to division of Eukaryotic cells.  Mitosis  Cytokinesis

12. Mitosis The nucleus of the parent cell is divided into 2.  Each with the same number and type of chromosomes.

13. Cytokinesis The cytoplasm of the parent cell divides. Two distinct cells are formed.  Daughter cells

14. Chromosomes Highly organized segments of genetic information. Made up of chromatin.

15. Chromatin A specific combination of DNA and proteins.

16. Chromatids Each chromosome has two identical parts, chromatids.  Joined by a centromere.

17. The two identical parts allow for the production of two identical cells.

18. The process of cell growth and division is a cycle. Mitosis Cytokinesis Interphase

19. Mitosis Cytokinesis Interphase

20. The period between cell divisions 3 phases  G1, S, and G2

21. 1.G1: Cell growth 2.S: DNA replication 3.G2: Preparation for mitosis

22. Mitosis (4 phases) 1.Prophase 2.Metaphase 3.Anaphase 4.Telophase

23. Prophase(fig 8-12) Longest phase Centrioles take positions at opposite ends of the cell

24. Spindle fibers form between the centrioles Chromosomes attach to the spindle

25. The nucleolus disappears The nuclear envelope breaks down.

26. Metaphase(fig 8-14) Shortest phase Chromosomes line up along the center of the cell.

27. Anaphase (fig 8-15) Centromeres split Individual chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.

28. Telophase (fig 8-16) Final phase Chromatids uncoil to reveal a mass of chromatin.

29. Nuclear envelopes reform around the chromatin A nucleolus becomes visible for each daughter cell

32. Cytokinesis Animal Cells  The cell membrane moves inward pinching the cytoplasm into two cells.

33.  Each half contains a nucleus  And all necessary organelles Plant Cells  A cell plate forms dividing the cell in half

34.  The cell plate evolves into a new cell wall for each cell.
