Chapter 8 Cell Growth
2
In most cases, a living thing grows because it produces more and more cells
3
Limits of Cell Growth
4
Number 1 Cell membrane- food oxygen and water enter and wastes leave
5
How fast things enter and leave depends on the surface area
How fast products are used up and waste is produced depends on the volume
6
Fig 8-2 Surface Area and volume do not increase at the same rate so this is a problem
8
Number 2 All the information a cell needs to survive and function is stored in the DNA When a cell is small enough RNA is made to make all the proteins a cell needs
10
As a cell gets bigger it does not make more RNA so there is an information crisis
As the cell grows there is not enough RNA to support its growth The cell becomes inefficient
11
The Solution: Cell Division
The process where by the cell divides into two daughter cells Draw picture in notes
12
Rates of Cell Growth E. coli – divides every 30 minutes
1 day – 14kg mass 3 days – mass of earth Ideal conditions do not last long
13
Controls on Cell Growth
Cell behavior – cell growth and cell division are carefully controlled Heart and nervous system – cells rarely divide
14
Skin and digestive tract – cells divide through life
15
When cells come in contact with other cells they stop growing
Scientists are still working on why this is true
16
Cell growth can be turned on
Example – a cut, broken bone Cell growth stops when fixed
17
Uncontrolled Cell Growth
Results are severe Cancer – disorder where cells have lost the ability to control their own growth
18
8-2 Cell Division: Mitosis and Cytokinesis
19
Eukaryotic Cells Nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotic cells divide in two steps
20
1. Mitosis – the process by which the nucleus of a cell is divided into 2 nuclei, each with the same number and kinds of chromosomes as the parent cell
22
2. Cytokinesis – process of the cytoplasm dividing to form 2 new cells
23
The process is complex Large amounts of DNA need to be separated. Each cell needs one copy of a chromosome
24
Chromosomes Structures in the cell that contain the genetic information that is passed from one generation to the next
25
The cells of different organisms contain different numbers of chromosomes
Humans – 46 Goldfish – 94 Dog – 78 Cat – 32
26
Chromosomes are made of chromatin.
Chromatin is made of DNA and proteins.
27
When a cell is not dividing chromatin is lose and spread out
When a cell is going to divide chromatin condenses and chromosomes become visible
28
The proteins in chromatin help in the folding of DNA.
Helps it fit and keeps it organized. Total length of DNA 10,000x the length of a chromosome
29
Histones Circular proteins that the DNA is wrapped around
30
Nucleosome Bead like structures of DNA wrapped around a few histones
31
Chromosome Structure Ready to divide DNA replicated
Chromosomes become visible by condensing
32
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
The structure of eukaryotic chromosomes Centromere Sister chromatids Supercoil within chromosome Chromosome Continued coiling within supercoil Histone H1 Nucleosome DNA Section 8.2 Summary – pages
33
The chromosome has two identical parts – 2 Chromatids
34
The two chromatids are often called sister chromatids
Centromere – holds sister chromatids together
35
The Cell Cycle
36
The period of time from one mitosis to the next
A cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells Includes mitosis
39
` Mitosis – M phase
40
Interphase G1 – growth and activity S- DNA replication G2 – growth and activity
41
Some cells in the body go through the cell cycle every 6 hours
Some cells never do (nerve and muscle)
42
Interphase Long Period between cell divisions 3 phases – G1, S, G2 G1 – (gap1) – growth and development
43
S (DNA synthesis phase) – replication
Proteins associated with chromosomes are also made G2- gap 2 – shortest phase Synthesis of materials needed for cell division
44
During interphase the cell is active
Proteins are made DNA is copied ATP is made and used Cells that are specialized do their thing Example - secretion
46
Do Now What are the 2 phases of the cell cycle? What happens in g1?
What happens in S phase? What happens in the g2 phase? What is chromatin? What are histones and nucleosomes? What do uncopied chromosome s look like? What do copied chromosomes look like? How many chromosomes do humans have?
47
Mitosis is divided into 4 stages.
48
Prophase (Ready) Metaphase (Middle) Anaphase (away) Telophase (two)
49
Prophase Longest phase 50-60% of total mitosis time Chromosomes become visible – coil tightly Centrioles separate and move to opposite sides
50
Chromosomes attach to the spindle
Nucleolus disappears Nuclear envelope breaks down
51
Spindle Meshlike structure that develops from the centrioles Helps chromosomes move
52
Metaphase Shortest – few minutes Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell
53
Anaphase Centromeres that join sister chromatids split
Sister chromatids separates into individual chromosomes Chromosomes separate into two groups near the poles
54
Over when chromosomes separate
55
Telophase Chromosomes loosen up – go back to chromatin Occurs in the area where the nucleus will form Nuclear envelope reforms Nucleolus becomes visible Mitosis is over
58
Cytokinesis Last step in cell division Two nuclei form – each with a set of chromosomes Cytokinesis – division of the cytoplasm
59
Animal Cells – cell membrane pinches in
Plant cells – cell plate forms down the middle The cell wall forms in the cell plate
60
Plant Cell undergoing Mitosis
63
Mitosis Movie
65
9-3 Meiosis A type of cell division that gametes (eggs and sperm) undergo
66
A cell has two copies of each chromosome.
Humans have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs.
67
Homologous Chromosomes
Two chromosomes that make up a pair Carry the same types of information One originally came from mom and one originally came from dad
68
Diploid A cell with pairs of chromosomes One from mom and one from dad
Diploid number for humans is 46
69
Haploid A single set of chromosomes 1N
70
Autosomes Body cell chromosomes Humans have 22 pairs
71
Sex Chromosomes X and Y Humans have two Females have 2 X chromosomes
Males have an X and Y chromosome
72
Karyotype A picture of all of the chromosomes found in one cell.
Can be used to determine gender and genetic diseases.
74
Meiosis 2N produces 1N Process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half 2 rounds of cell division Meiosis I and Meiosis II Produces gametes (eggs and sperm)
77
Meiosis I Prophase I Metaphse I Anaphase I Telophase I Tetrad
78
`
81
Meiosis II Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II
Telophase II produces gametes (IN) (eggs or sperm)
