3. Limits to Cell Growth
Larger cells demand more
from their DNA and they have
trouble moving enough
nutrients and wastes across
the cell membrane.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
4. The rate of transport in and out of the cell is
dependent on the surface area of the cell.
The bigger a cell is the more nutrients it will
need transported in and the more waste it
will need transported out.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
5. A cells volume increases faster
than its surface area.
This makes it more difficult for large cells
to transport materials quickly enough for
the cell to survive.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
7. Before it becomes too large, a growing cell
divides forming two “daughter” cells.
The process by which a cell divides
into two new daughter cells is
called cell division.
Interphase is the period of
growth that occurs
between cell divisions.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
10. Eukaryotic cell division occurs in
two major stages.
First, mitosis divides the cell
nucleus.
Second, cytokinesis divides
the cell’s cytoplasm.
11. Chromosomes
Chromosomes
Genetic information is
passed from one
generation to the next on
chromosomes.
Before cell division,
each chromosome
is copied.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
One copy two copies
12. Chromosomes
Each chromosome
consists of two
identical “sister”
chromatids.
Each pair of
chromatids is
attached at an area
called the
centromere.

13. Chromosomes
When the cell divides, the
chromatids separate.
Each daughter cell
gets one chromatid,
so they have the
same number of
chromosomes as
the parent cell.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
14. The cell cycle is the series of
events that cells go through as
they grow and divide.
During the cell cycle:
a cell grows
prepares for division
divides to form two daughter cells,
each of which begins the cycle again
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
15. The cell cycle has four phases:
•G1 (First Gap Phase)
•S Phase (DNA Synthesis)
•G2 (Second Gap Phase)
•M Phase (Mitosis)
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
16. During G1, the cell
•increases in size
•synthesizes new proteins and
organelles
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
17. Events of the Cell Cycle
During the S phase,
chromosomes are replicated
DNA synthesis takes place
Once a cell enters the S phase, it usually
completes the rest of the cell cycle.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
18. Events of the Cell Cycle
The G2 Phase (Second Gap Phase)
organelles and molecules required
for cell division are produced
Once G2 is complete, the cell is ready to
start the M phase—Mitosis
G1 + S + G2 = Interphase

The second phase of
mitosis is metaphase.

Anaphase
Anaphase is the third
phase of mitosis.
The sister
chromatids are
pulled apart by the
spindle into two
separate
chromosomes.

31. Telophase
Telophase is the
fourth and final
phase of mitosis.
Chromosomes
gather at opposite
ends of the cell
and lose their
distinct shape.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
32. In telophase, a new
nuclear envelope
forms around each
cluster of
chromosomes.

33. Cytokinesis is not a part of mitosis.

35. In plants, a structure known as
the cell plate forms midway
between the divided nuclei.

separating membrane.
A cell wall then begins to appear
in the cell plate.

Controls on Cell Division
Controls on Cell Division
Experiments show that normal cells will
reproduce until they come into
contact with other cells.
When cells come into contact with other cells,
they respond by not growing.
This demonstrates that controls on cell growth
and division can be turned on and off.

40. Cell Cycle Regulators
The cell cycle is regulated by a specific
protein.
The amount of this protein in the cell rises
and falls in time with the cell cycle.
Scientists called this protein cyclin
because it seemed to regulate the cell
cycle.
Cyclins regulate the timing of the
cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
41. Cyclins were discovered during a
similar experiment to this one.
A sample of
cytoplasm
is removed from
a cell
in mitosis.
The sample is
injected
into a second
cell in
G2 of interphase.
As result, the
second
cell enters
mitosis.
42. Internal Regulators
Proteins that respond to events inside
the cell are called internal regulators.
Internal regulators allow the cell cycle to
proceed only when certain processes
have happened inside the cell.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
43. External Regulators
Proteins that respond to events outside
the cell are called external regulators.
External regulators direct cells to speed
up or slow down the cell cycle.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
44. Uncontrolled Cell Growth
Cancer is a disorder in which
some of the body's own cells lose
the ability to control growth.
Cancer cells do not respond to the signals
that regulate the growth of most cells.
45. Cancer cells divide uncontrollably and
form masses of cells called tumors that
can damage the surrounding tissues.
Cancer cells may break loose from tumors
and spread throughout the body,
disrupting normal activities and causing
serious medical problems or even death.
