Presentation Transcript

  1. Cell Division:Mitosis

  2. Objective: • Understand the purpose of mitosis • Understand the process of mitosis • Explain the sequence and events of each phase

  3. Review:

  4. What are the two types of cells? • Eukaryotic • Prokaryotic

  5. What are prokaryotic cells? • Simple cells • Few internal structures • No membrane bound organelles • One-celled organisms, Bacteria

  6. Examples of prokaryotic cell: Bacteria Cells

  7. What are eukaryotic cells? • Cells that contain organelles surrounded by membranes • Most living organisms

  8. Examples of eukaryotic cells: Plant Cells Animal Cells Human Cells Human Cells

  9. Plant Cell (Tomato) Animal Cell (tiger)

  10. How do prokaryotic cells divide? • Binary Fission • (A fancy name that scientists use to impress their girlfriends or boyfriends. A process where one prokaryotic cell becomes two.)

  11. How do eukaryotic cells divide? • Mitosis!

  12. What is mitosis? • (How eukaryotic cells divide.) • A continuous process of four phases that results in the division of the nucleus. Making more cells!

  13. Why do we care? • Once upon a time we were all one little cell. • Because of mitosis we are now made of trillions of cells. • This applies to animals too!

  18. The Phases of Mitosis

  19. The 4 Phases of Mitosis: • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase

  20. What about Interphase? • Interphase is the resting period between cell division.

  21. Why do we study diagramsfirst? • Easy to identify structures • Clear • Simple

  22. Why do should we view microscopicimages also? • To see the real deal! • To reveal greater complexities.

  24. Are the cells really pink and purple? • Nope, they are stained so that we can see the organelles better.

  29. They all look like blobs… how can we tell them apart?

  30. What’s happening in each phase?
