cell cycle is the longest? WHY?
Size Limitations of the Cell
A Cell is forced to Divide for the following reasons.
1. The cell gets too big. Small cells have a larger surface area compared to the volume. This means a comparatively larger area to move things in (like food) and out (like wastes) of the cell.
2. Diffusion moves materials too slowly across (relatively) large spaces.
3. The cell’s DNA can’t keep up with the production of proteins necessary for survival.
Cell Division also occurs:
1. For GROWTH of a multicellular organism
2. To REPAIR old, worn out CELLS (surface layers)
3. To replace lost or DYING cells.4. A form of ASEXUAL
reproduction for SINGLE-CELLED organisms
Cell ReproductionCell Division is the process by which NEW cells are produced from OLD ones. Mitosis is the division of the NUCLEAR MATERIAL or DNA. This is important because each cell needs an exact COPY. The end result of mitosis is the production of NEW cells that are IDENTICAL to the parent cell and is then followed by the division of the CYTOPLASM called cytokinesis.
Some cells, like SKIN cells, divide throughout the lifetime of the organism, other cells may or may not DIVIDE after maturity. (Ex: SKIN cells only divide when repair of the organ itself is required and MUCSCLE and NERVE cells lose their ability to divide.
CHROMOSOMES
Chromosomes consist of DNA and are the carriers of our GENETIC information that must be passed from generation to generation. There are 46 pieces of DNA in the human cell ( the number of chromosomes determines an organism’s classification – i.e. the fruit fly has 4 chromosomes).

Mitosis Index Cards
The pieces of DNA spends most of the time in the nucleus, in strands called CHROMATIN
The Chromatin can be seen in the nucleus when the STRAND coils tightly and forms rod-shaped structures (CHROMOSOMES) during the latter part of the cell cycle (mitosis). (Page 212)
CHROMATIN
Cell Cycle
The cell cycle is the sequence of GROWTH and DIVISION of a cell. In cells that continuously divide; it is an ongoing, repetitive cycle of events that includes growth, REPLICATION of nuclear material, mitosis, and CYTOKINESIS.
Parts of the Cell CycleInterphase – BUSIEST
period of the cell. This is when the cell carries out the copying of cell. Consist of 3 phases:
G1= Rapid growth and metabolic activity (production of PROTEINS)
S = DNA synthesis (replication)
G2 = Growth and REPLICATION (centrioles replicate)
B. Mitosis in Animal Cells – period of cell division. Consists of 4 phases:
1.Prophase2.Metaphas
e3.Anaphase4.Telophase
1. Prophase
Chromatin coils up into visible CHROMOSOMES and each one consists of 2 CHROMATID joined by a centromere (see pg. 212).
Nucleolus begins to disappear and NUCLEAR ENVELOPE begins to break down.
Centrioles begin to move to POLES (ends) of the cell
The SPINDLES (microtubule structure) forms between the centrioles (see pg.214)

Chromosomes
2. Metaphase
Chromosomes are moved to the equator (CENTER) of the cell with spindle fibers attached to each side of the CHROMOSOME.
When this phase begins, each chromosome consists of two SISTER CHROMATIDS joined by a centromere.

Spindle Fibers
Centromere
3. AnaphaseThe CHROMOSOMES
are pulled by the spindle fibers which are attached at the centromere.
Each CHROMATID is pulled to opposite sides of the cell
Each side has a full complement set of CHROMOSOMES (DNA).
Spindle Fibers
4. Telophase
The SPINDLE begins to disintegrate and the NUCLEAR ENVELOPE begins to reform around each set of chromosomes.
At this time, each side prepares to become a new DAUGHTER cell, with the same DNA and kind of chromosome as the PARENT cell.
The chromosomes re-establish themselves into CHROMATIN and the nucleoli re-appear.
Telophase
Nuclear Envelope
Chromatin
Spindle Fibers
Cytokinesis
Division of the cytoplasm – begins in ANAPHASE and continues throughout telophase.
A PLASMA MEMBRANE begins to form between the two nuclei, as a ring forms and begins to constrict the cell at its EQUATOR.
Two DAUGHTER cells are formed that are genetically IDENTICAL

Doing it all again, and again, and again (that’s why it is called a cycle)

The cells will begin to grow in interphase again
when they reach a size that is too large or signaled
they will divide again.
Cancer
If the cycle is disrupted then the cell
may continue to divide quickly and out
of control. This may cause a tumor to
form and may destroy the function of
the organ. This is called cancer.
