These halt the cell cycle.
Negative regulators
The three regulators that were discovered to be damaged or nonfunctional in cells that had begun to replicate uncontrollably.
- Retinoblastoma proteins (Rb)
- p53
- p21
Give at least three traits of a cancerous cell.
Hint: I, I, N, N, A, M
- Ignores STOP signal.
- Independent of growth signal.
- No cell death.
- No limit to cell division.
- Angiogenesis.
- Metastasis.
What are the sources of oncogenes?
Hint: M, U, V
- Mutation
- UV Lights (Synthetic/Natural chemicals, x-rays)
- HPV
This is the mutation of a normal gene but it needs several mutations before it becomes critical.
Cancer
An agent for mutation, but not all of it kind is cancerous.
Mutagen
An agent for cancer.
Carcinogen
What are the kinds of carcinogens?
Hint: I, C, V, H
- Ionising radiation
- Chemicals
- Helicobacter pylori virus
- Hereditary predisposition
What are the kinds of tumours?
- Benign
2. Malignant
A classification of cancer that is in the ectoderm and endoderm.
Carcinoma
A classification of cancer that is in the mesoderm.
Sarcoma
A classification of cancer that is in the hepatopoeitic system.
Leukemia and Lymphoma
What are the stages of cancer?
Hint: S, L, L, E, M
0: Cancer in situ
1: Tumor limited to tissue of origin
2: Limited local spread of tumor
3: Extensive local and regional spread
4: Metastasis
This is the ability of an organism to maintain balance in the system even if it’s affected by external factors.
Homeostasis
This allows certain molecules or ions to pass through it by means of active or passive transport.
Selective Permeable Membrane
What is ICM?
Intercellular Matrix
What is ECM?
Extracellular Matrix
These are the kinds of proteins that act as a passageway or transporters for molecules to enter a cell.
Integral proteins
An essential component of the cell membrane that maintains its fluidity and permeability. It also acts as an anti-freeze.
Cholesterol
What are the types of cell transport?
- Active Transport
- Passive Transport
A type of cell transport that does not require energy.
Passive transport
A type of cell transport that requires energy to transport molecules that are large and can’t easily pass through the permeable membrane.
Active transport
A type of passive cell transport that focuses on concentrations going from low to high levels and vice versa.
Diffusion
A type of passive cell transport that has a protein to help a molecule be transported to where it should go.
Facilitated diffusion
A type of passive cell transport that is exclusive for water molecules.
Osmosis
This is the ability of a solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water.
Tonicity
A kind of tonicity wherein both the ICM and ECM are in an equilibrium state.
Isotonic
A kind of tonicity wherein wherein the cell is caused to be lysed in an animal cell and turgid in a plant cell.
Hypotonic
A kind of tonicity wherein the cell is caused to be shriveled in an animal cell and plasmolysed in a plant cell.
Hypertonic
The number of ATP produced in a eukaryotic cell.
36 ATP
The number of ATP produced in a prokaryotic cell.
38 ATP
