• MC.2.B.1 – Construct a hierarchy of life from cells to ecosystems • MC.2.B.8 – Describe the main events in the cycle • MC.2.B.9 – List in order and describe the stages of Cell Cycle Notes

• Are you a single celled or a multi-cellular organism? • Do we have any human-sized single- celled ? • Why or why not? 3 Factors that limit cell size:

1. Diffusion rate—a large cell would die before getting necessary nutrients; diffusion is inefficient in a large cell. 2. DNA—insufficient amount to support production. 3. Surface area-to-volume ratio—surface area cannot increase fast enough to support the volume of the cell. Chart for Recording Surface Area-to-Volume Ratio

SA:V 1x1 cell Surface area-to-volume ratio Surface area is found by length x width x 1 cm number of sides. 1 cm SA = 1 x 1 x 6 = 6cm2 SA:V Volume is found by length x width x height. 6:1 1x1 cell

V = 1 x 1 x 1 = 1cm3 Surface area-to-volume ratio Surface area is found by length x width x 2 cm number of sides. 2 cm SA = 2 x 2 x 6 = 24cm2 SA:V Volume is found by length x width x height. 1x1 cell 6:1

• —long strands of DNA wrapped around . • Cell cycle—the sequence of growth and division of a cell. • •Mitosis • Interphase

• Cell grows in size and carries on . • 3 phases of interphase: 1. G1—rapid growth and metabolic activity. 2. S—DNA synthesis and replication. 3. G2—centrioles replicate; cell prepares for division. Mitosis

• Process by which one cell divides to create two daughter cells, each containing a complete set of chromosomes. • 4 phases (PMAT) – – – – Prophase

1st & longest phase; • Chromatin coils into visible chromosomes • Sister —2 halves of the duplicated chromosomes. • centromeres—hold together in center. Prophase • Nucleus disappears. • Centrioles migrate to opposite ends of the cell • Small, dark structures made of located outside nucleus; play a role in separation.

• Spindle forms •Football shaped cagelike structure consisting of microtubules; plays a role in chromatid separation. Metaphase

2nd & shortest phase; • Doubled chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers by their centromeres. •Chromosomes are pulled by spindle and line up on the midline of the cell. •One sister chromatid’s spindle fiber extends to one end and the other extends to the other end. Anaphase

Marked by the separation of sister chromatids • centromeres split apart and chromatid pairs separate •Spindle fibers shorten pulling the chromatids apart. Telophase

Begins as chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cells • The opposite of prophase! • Chromosomes unwind to begin directing cell functions • Spindle breaks down • Nucleolus reappears and forms around each set of chromosomes. Cytokinesis
