Presentation Transcript

  1. Lesson Overview 10.3 Regulating the Cell Cycle

  2. THINK ABOUT IT • How do cells know when to divide?

  3. TITD/11-5 • Students will prepare for cell processes quiz

  4. Opening/11-5 • The teacher will ask if there are any questions before they take the quiz.

  5. Work Session • Students will take Cell Processes Quiz.

  6. Closing • TOTD • Students will prepare to change class.

  7. TITD/11-6 • Students will predict what happens when the cell cycle is disrupted and there is an abnormal increase in the rate of mitosis.

  8. Opening/11-6 • How do cells know when to divide? One striking fact about cells in multicellular organisms is how carefully cell growth and cell division are controlled.

  9. Opening/11-6 • Not all cells move through the crll cycle at the same rate.

  10. Work Session • Students will take Cornell Notes on regulating the cell cycle section 10.3 and cell differentiation 10.4.

  11. Controls on Cell Division • How is the cell cycle regulated?

  12. Controls on Cell Division • How is the cell cycle regulated? • The cell cycle is controlled by regulatory proteins both inside and outside the cell.

  13. The controls on cell growth and division can be turned on and off. • For example, when an injury such as a broken bone occurs, cells are stimulated to divide rapidly and start the healing process. The rate of cell division slows when the healing process nears completion.

  14. The Discovery of Cyclins • Cyclins are a family of proteins that regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells. • This graph shows how cyclin levels change throughout the cell cycle in fertilized clam eggs.

  15. Regulatory Proteins • Internal regulators are proteins that respond to events inside a cell. They allow the cell cycle to proceed only once certain processes have happened inside the cell. • External regulators are proteins that respond to events outside the cell. They direct cells to speed up or slow down the cell cycle. • Growth factors are external regulators that stimulate the growth and division of cells. They are important during embryonic development and wound healing.

  16. Apoptosis • Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death. • Apoptosis plays a role in development by shaping the structure of tissues and organs in plants and animals. For example, the foot of a mouse is shaped the way it is partly because the toes undergo apoptosis during tissue development.

  17. Cancer: Uncontrolled Cell Growth • How do cancer cells differ from other cells?

  18. Cancer: Uncontrolled Cell Growth • How do cancer cells differ from other cells? • Cancer cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells. As a result, the cells divide uncontrollably.

  19. Cancer is a disorder in which body cells lose the ability to control cell growth. • Cancer cells divide uncontrollably to form a mass of cells called a tumor.

  20. A benign tumor is noncancerous. It does not spread to surrounding healthy tissue. A malignant tumor is cancerous. It invades and destroys surrounding healthy tissue and can spread to other parts of the body. The spread of cancer cells is called metastasis. Cancer cells absorb nutrients needed by other cells, block nerve connections, and prevent organs from functioning.

  21. What Causes Cancer? • Cancers are caused by defects in genes that regulate cell growth and division. • Some sources of gene defects are smoking tobacco, radiation exposure, defective genes, and viral infection. • A damaged or defective p53 gene is common in cancer cells. It causes cells to lose the information needed to respond to growth signals.

  22. Treatments for Cancer • Some localized tumors can be removed by surgery. • Many tumors can be treated with targeted radiation. • Chemotherapy is the use of compounds that kill or slow the growth of cancer cells.

  23. Closing • TOTD • The teacher will ask a series of questions. • What controls the cell cycle, how is it regulated?

  24. Closing • TOTD • The teacher will ask a series of questions. • What are the two types of regulator proteins?

  25. Closing • TOTD • Students will answer on white boards and the teacher will Cold Call to check for understanding.
