Cell Growth and Division

Chapter 10

Why are cells so small?

DNA
Messages from the nucleus must be able to reach all parts of the cell

Diffusion
Nutrients must enter and wastes must leave If the cell was too big, diffusion would happen too slowly

Why are cells so small?


Surface

Area vs. Volume

As a cell grows larger, the volume increases faster than the SA A bigger cell needs more nutrients, but has relatively less SA to take in those nutrients

Surface Area vs. Volume


Cell Size
Surface Area (lw6) Volume (lwh) SA to Volume Ratio

5 cm
150 cm2

10 cm
600 cm2

125 cm3

1000 cm3

150/125 = 600/1000 6:5 = 6:10

Cell Cycle

Cells divide before growing too large Before dividing, cells must prepare Preparation = Interphase
G1 phase: Cell grows larger S phase: Cell makes new DNA for daughter cell G2 phase: Cell makes new organelles for daughter cell

Cell Cycle

Chromosomes

Centromere

Each chromosome is replicated during the S phase A replicated chromosome has two identical sister chromatids connected by a centromere

Sister Chromatids

Mitosis

Mitosis

Four Stages:
Prophase (pro- means first) Metaphase (meta- means middle/after) Anaphase (ana- means apart) Telophase (telo- means far away/end)

Prophase

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes Nuclear envelope and nucleolus disintegrate Centrioles migrate to opposite ends of the cell Spindle fibers form in foot ball shape across cell

Chromosomes condensing

Prophase

Metaphase

Chromosomes line up in the middle (equator) of the cell Spindle fibers attach to centromeres

Anaphase

Sister chromatids separate Spindle fibers shorten, pulling chromatids to opposite ends of cell Animal cells begin to pinch in Plant cells begin to form cell plate in the middle

Anaphase

Telophase

Nuclear membrane built from ER around each set of chromosomes Nucleolus reforms in each nucleus Chromosomes become mass of chromatin

Telophase

Two cells dividing into four

Cytokinesis

Final division of cytoplasm resulting in two daughter cells Animals CM pinches together Plants Cell plate forms new CM dividing the daughter cells

Plant Cell Division

Which phases can you see?


Anaphase

Metaphase

Prophase

Telophase

Interphase

Knowing when to divide

Cyclins
Protein that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotes

Internal regulators tell the cell when to enter mitosis External regulators control the rate of the cell cycle

Cellular Response to Injury

Effect of Cyclins
Cytoplasm is removed from cell in mitosis Cytoplasm is injected into a second cell in G2 phase

Second cell enters mitosis

Cancer

Cancer results when cells do not respond to cell cycle regulators Cells grow unregulated, forming a tumor Tumor damages surrounding tissue

Leukemia Blood cancer

Mammary (Breast) Cancer

Skin Cancer
