What are the differences between animal cells and plant cells
Animal cells: - cell membrane - **many** vacuoles - **no** chloroplast - **smaller** sized Plant Cells: -Cell wall + cell membrane - **1** Vacuole - Contains Chloroplast - **Bigger** in size
26
# Mitosis What are the three functions of Cell Division
1. Reproduction 2. Growth and Development 3. Tissue Repair and Renewal | All organisms use cell dividon to reproduce
27
# Mitosis What is Asexual reproduction
When a single-celled organism divides, it produces two new organisms that have the **exact same** DNA as the original cell. | Mother cell makes two daughter cells
28
# Mitosis What is Sexual reproduction
When a sex cell from one parent joins another sex cell from another parent | Many multicellular organisms require two parents to reproduce
29
# Mitosis T/F: The rate at which cells divide are different for every type of cell
T: The cells that make up your **skin** or **stomach** **lining** divide at a **steady** rate to replace the cells that are worn away - cells that make up your muscles and nerves may increase in size but do **not** divide once they form. | As the multicellular organism grows, the number of cells increase
30
# Mitosis Instead of cell divison, why doesn't a cell simply grow larger?
As a cell gets **larger**, the ratio of its surface area to its volume **decreases** A larger cell will **NOT** have enough surface area for the passage of all the nutrients it needs and all the wastes it produces. | If cells grow too big transportation would be slow, garbage build up ## Footnote Nutrients and waste move through a cell through a process called diffusion
31
# Mitosis Fill in the blank: Cell -------- allows organisms to repair --------
Cell **division** allows organisms to repair **injuries/cuts etc.**
32
# Mitosis What is a haploid and a diploid?
Haploid: - 1 set of genes (chromosomes) - 23 haploid in humans (sex cells) Diploid: - 2 complete set of genes (chromosomes) - 46 diploids in humans (all body cells)
33
# Mitosis What is: A Parent cell A daughter cell
1. The **original** cell 2. The **New** cells that result from division | Mitosis preserves chromosomes and DNA number if the original cell had 46
34
# Mitosis Fill in the blank: Mitosis ------------- chromosomes and DNA number. If the ---------- cell had 46 chromosomes, each of the new --------- cells will have --------- chromosomes!
Mitosis **preserves** chromosomes and DNA number. If the **original** cell had 46 chromosomes, each of the new **daughter** cells will have **46** chromosomes!
35
# Mitosis What is Mitosis
Mitosis is a form of **asexual** reproduction that results in the production of identical offspring from **ONE** parent | Mitosis occurs in somatic (body) cells.
36
# Mitosis How many cells in the first division? What about the 2nd and third?
1st, 2 cells 2nd, 4 cells 3rd, 8 cells
37
# Mitosis What is the structure of chromosomes after duplication?
- made up of DNA - The two sister chromatids are held together at the centromere
38
# Mitosis What is DNA and gene?
- DNA is found in the cell nucleus and contains genetic information - Gene is a segment of DNA that controls protein production and determines your physical traits
39
# Mitosis What has to happen before Mitosis occurs?
the parent cell **must** duplicate its DNA **before** it divides into 2 daughter cells
40
# Mitosis What is a zygote?
Zygote: a unicellular organism formed when a sperm fertilizes with an ovum (egg) * Through the process of mitosis, the zygote becomes you! * Trillions of cells, a multicellular-organism
41
# Mitosis What is a chromatin and chromatid?
Chromatin: - Unwound DNA - Found throught interphase Chromatid: - Tightly packed - Found **only** during mitosis (cell division)
42
# Mitosis What does the cell cycle consist of?
Interphase (G1, S, G2) Mitotic (M) phase Cytokinesis
43
# Mitosis What are the parts of interphase
- G1 (Growth): cell grows, builds organelles & proteins etc. - S phase (DNA synthesis): cell duplicates its DNA - G2: cell grows and prepares for mitosis | Interphase accounts for 90% of cell divison
44
# Mitosis What are the 5 phases of Mitosis?
1. Prophase 2. Prometaphase 3. Metaphase 4. Anaphase 5. Telophase
45
# Mitosis What is the last cycle of mitosis
Cytokinesis: The cytoplasm and the nuclei (genetical materials) are equally divided between the daughter cells
46
# Mitosis What is prometaphase (Late prophase)
* The two centrosomes, are at opposite ends of the cell * The nuclear envelope fragments (or breaks down)
47
# Mitosis What is interphase
Only chromatin are seen * BUT, the amount of DNA has doubled! * Each centrosome contains 2 centrioles
48
# Mitosis What is Prophase
* Centrioles move apart from each other as mitotic spindle grow out of them. * Chromatin fibres become more tightly coiled and condensed into chromosomes and can be seen with a light microscope
49
# Mitosis What is Metaphase
Chromosomes line up along the centre of the cell at the equator or metaphase plate * Spindle fibres from opposite poles attach to the centromere of each chromosome
50
# Mitosis What is Anaphase
Sister chromatids separate & move to opposite poles
51
# Mitosis What is Telophase
Chromosomes start to unwind into strands of less-visible chromatin * Spindle fibres break down * Nuclear membrane & nucleus reappears
52
# Mitosis What is Cytokinesis
* Each daughter cell has as complete set of chromosomes in a nucleus and its own share of cytoplasm and organelles
53
# Mitosis What is cytokinesis in plant cells
Plant: a cell plate forms the Golgi body starts to produce small vesicles. Each of these sacs carries the materials needed to form a new cell wall * The vesicles fuse together to form a cell plate which grows outward, dividing the cytoplasm into two. * Cell plate becomes cell wall
54
# Mitosis What is cytokinesis in animal cells
In animals, a cleavage furrow forms (pinches in) * A ring of specialized proteins around the middle of the cell starts to contract * The new cells are at the beginning of interphase, ready to begin the cell cycle again!

56
# Specialized Cells What are stem cells
-Found in all multi-cellular organisms, they are able to develop into specialized cells. - They have the ability to: -undergo mitotic division - Differentiate into several different types of cells | Two types: **Adult** stem cells and **Embryonic** stem cells
57
# Specialized Cells Give an example of a specialized cell | Answers may vary
Muscle cell: - Long and thin structure allows cell to change size when it contracts - Branching pattern that increase muscle strength - Lots of mitochondria supply the energy required to change shape Blood cell: - Donut like shape - Dent in the middle that provides a large surface area to carry oxygen | ex. blood cells, nerve cells, fat, liver, etc.
58
# Specialized Cells Can a specialized cell use cell divsion to create a daughter cell with a different specialization?
Once specialized, cells are “stuck”. All their daughter cells will perform the same job.
59
# Specialized Cells What is cell Specialization?
- Found in multicellular organisms - The more cells an organism has, the more likely its cells are to be adapted to do a particular job - Specialized cells have different structure and function depending on it’s job - Cells becoming Specialized cells as we develop | Plants also have specialized cells
60
# Specialized Cells Why is it important for cell specialization
Our body has different needs (waste disposal, energy, transportation), but every cell can’t digest food, fight disease, carry nutrients So... To accommodate the needs of the organism specialized cells are formed to carry out a specific function (i.e., perform one job very well)
61
# Cancer What is cancer?
It is a group of diseases characterized by rapid, unregulated growth and division of the cells (i.e., uncontrolled mitosis) Normally, once cells in your body have specialized, they divide only to replace damaged cells. Therefore, the group of cells lose their original function
62
# Cancer Did you know: there are checkpoints in the cell cycle
- The cells activities during the cell cycle are controlled by specific proteins at specific points called checkpoints -These proteins send messages to the nucleus - The nucleus then instructs the cell as to whether it should divide or not
63
# Cancer What are cell mutations
- Mutations are a permanent change in a cells DNA - Cancer results from a mutation that controls the cells division signals (uncontrollable division = cancer) - This mutation is passed to other cells during mitosis | Mutations can be Inherted Ocur randmly result from environment factors
64
# Cancer What are tumours
Mass of cells caused by the uncontrolled growth and division that forms a lump
65
# Cancer What is a bengin tumour?
-**Not** cancerous -Cells stay together and have **no** or very **little** effect on the surrounding tissues - Can sometimes grow so large that it crowds neighbouring cells and tissues | Can not metastasize
66
# Cancer What is a malignant tumour
-**Are** cancerous - Interferes with the function of the neighbouring cells and tissues - May destroy surrounding tissues - Can metastasize | metastasize: ths spread of cancer cells throughout the body
67
# Cancer What is Metastasis
- When cancer cells break away from the original or primary tumour and spread in the body - If they settle in another area of the body they can cause a new tumour to form
68
# Cancer Compare normal cells to cancer cells
Normal cells: -cells communicate - cannot normally divide when in isolation - Normal cells adhere to each other - Have a nucleus and nucleolus Cancer cells: - Cells do not communicate -Cancer cells can reproduce in isolation -Cancer cells do not adhere to each other -Have multiple nuclei and nucleolus | These characteristics give cancer the power to dislodge or metastasize
