General Biology 1 (Part IV) Flashcards
What is the topic about?
When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes this orderly process breaks down, and abnormal or damaged cells grow and multiply when they shouldn’t. These cells may form tumors, which are lumps of tissue.
What happens if the cell does not undergo cell cycle?
Unregulated Cancer Division
What are the 6 differences of Cancer Cells and Normal Cells
- Cancer Cells divide more rapidly
- Cancer cells can divide outside the body.
- Cancer cells use the energy and resources of other cells.
- Cancer cells vary in shape, size, of the nucleus, and behavior.
- Cancer cells exhibits metastasis.
- Cancer cells do not undergo apoptosis in normal conditions.
4 Info’s about the Normal Cells
- Vary in shape and sizes
- The nucleus that is larger and darker than normal
- Abnormal number of chromosomes arranged in a disorganized fashion
- Cluster of cells without a boundary
How cancer cells develops? (3)
- When a cellular regulator or a cell cycle checkpoints fails.
- A benign tumor may lead to the development of malignant tumors.
- More mutations may happen, causing the loss of genes responsible for cell cycle regulation.
3 functions of Cell Membrane (Last Topic)
Transportation
Communication
Protection
2 New Function of the Cell Membrane
It regulates the flow of materials going inside and
outside of the cell.
It serves as a protective layer and is important in
cell-to-cell communication and adhesion.
It is the biological model that explains the nature and function of cell membrane.
Fluid Mosaic Model
Fluid Mosaic Model is proposed by?
Seymour Jonathan Singer and
Garth L. Nicolson in 1972.
4 Components of the Cell Membrane
