The Cell Cycle Chapter 2, Lesson 1
A big question for something so little! • You start life as a single cell!! • You will have a trillion cells!! SO . . . • How are all these cells made? • How long does a cell live?
The Cell cycle • Cell cycle = the life cycle of a cell • Just like all living things, our CELLS have a cycle of life. • Phases of cell cycle • Interphase Birth/Childhood • Mitosis Teenager • Cytokinesis Leaving your parents
Left Side Draw Figure 1 from page 88 in your notebook. Use Color Predict: What phase is the longest? Interphase, Mitosis, or Cytokinesis. Explain.
Length of Cell Cycle • Different for different cells • Skin = 24 hours • Brain = never finishes, stays in Interphase. • Zebra Fish: • From 1 cell to hatching in 48 hours. • Sea Urchin • From 1 cell to 4 in 2 hours.
First is Interphase • When a cell is getting ready to reproduce. • The longest phase. • The chromosomes in the nucleus look like a bunch of thin spagehetti because they are getting ready to be copied. • Interphase has 3 phases = G1, S, G2
The Phases of Interphase • G1 – Growth and regular cell functions. • S – Growth and the chromosomes make copies of themselves and the NUCLEUS makes copy. • G2 – Growth and cell functions. All the organelles make copies of themselves.
Left Side: Write/Pair/Share • Predicit: Do ALL cells go through interphase?
Left Side – Answers • Muscles, nerve, brain and red blood cells do NOT reproduce. Injuries to these can be permenant. The cells don’t leave interphase. • Drugs literally kill brain cells. . . You can’t get them back.
Mitosis • Four main phases • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telephase • More about this later . . .
