10-3 Assessment (pg 252 1-5)
1. What chemicals regualate the cell cycle? How do they work?
Cyclins regulate the timing of the cell
2. What happens when cells do not respond to the signals that normally regulate their growth?
The form masses of cells called tumors that can damage the surrounding tissues.
3. How do cells respond to contact with other cells?
the form a mass. such as cancer
4. Why can cancer be considered a disease of the cell cycle?
It can be called a disease because it takes over the cell. It spreads throuhgout the cell and no scientist knows to stop it from spreading.
5. Write a hypothesis about what you think would happen if cyclin were injected into a cell that was in mitosis.
I think that the cell would stop the process it was in. It would come to a halt.

10-2 Assessment (pg 249 1-6)
1. Name the main events if the cell cycle.
The main event is that a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two new daughter cells.
2. Describe what happens during each of the four phases of mitosis.
Prophase: chromatin condence into chromosomes. The centrioles serperate, and a spindle begins to form. The nuclear membrane breaks down.
Metaphase: chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Microtubules connect the centermere of each chromosome to poles of a spindle.
Anaphase: The sister chromatids serperate into individual chromosomes and are moved apart.
Telophase: The chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes. Two nuclear membranes form.
3. Describe what happens during interphase.
Interphase: The cell grows and replicates its DNA and centrioles.
4. What are chromosomes made of?
DNA
5. How do prokaryotic cells divide?
6. How is the cytokinesis in plant cells similiar to cytokinesis in animal cells? How is it different?
In animal cells the cell membraneos drawn inward until the cytoplasm is pinched into nearly two equal parts.
In a plant cell a structure known as the cell plate forms midway between the divided nuclei.

10-1 Section Assessment (pg 243 1-5)
1. Give two reasons why cells divide.
The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on it's DNA and the more trouble the cell has moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane.
2. How is a cell's DNA like the books in a library?
A cell is like a library because if a town grows bigger the deman for books is higher, and so the library gets more books. It is the same with a cell because if you get bigger the demand for more "books" is greater so the cell makes more.
3.What is the solution to the problems caused by cell growth?
they must divide as they grow
4. As a cell increases in size, which increases more rapidly, it's surface area or it's volume?
the volume increase much more rapidly
5. Calculate the surface area, volume, and ratio of surface area to volume of an imaginary cubic cell with a length of 4 cm.
The area of the surface is 96 cm cubed.
The volume is 64cm cubed.

Cancer
Cancer: a malignant and invasive growth or tumor, esp. one originating in epithelium, tending to recur after excision and to metastasize to other sites.
Cytokinesis and Cyclin
Cytokinesis: the division of the cell cytoplasm that usually follows mitotic or meiotic division of the nucleus.
http://img.sparknotes.com/figures/D/d756b5b73abe2974f3521a828791899f/cytokinesis.gif
Cyclin: a class of proteins that fluctuate in concentration at specific points during the cell cycle and that regulate the cycle by binding to a kinase.
http://www.nature.com/nrm/journal/v8/n2/images/nrm2105-f1.jpg
Anaphase and Telophase
Anaphase: the stage in mitosis or meiosis following metaphase in which the daughter chromosomes move away from each other to opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase: the final stage of meiosis or mitosis, in which the separated chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the dividing cell and the nuclei of the daughter cells form around the two sets of chromosomes.

Spindle and Metaphase
Spindle: a small axis, arbor, or mandrel.
Metaphase:the stage in mitosis or meiosis in which the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle.

Prophase and Centriole
Prophase: the first stage of mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotic cell division, during which the nuclear envelope breaks down and strands of chromatin form into chromosomes.
http://student.ccbcmd.edu/~gkaiser/biotutorials/dna/mitosis/images/early_late_prophase1_pc.jpg
Centriole: one of two cylindrical cellular structures that are composed of nine triplet microtubules and form the asters during mitosis.
Cell Cycle and Mitosis
Cell Cycle: The series of events involving the growth, replication, and division of a eukaryotic cell.
http://www.steve.gb.com/images/science/cell_cycle_cartoon.png
Mitosis: The process in cell division by which the nucleus divides, typically consisting of four stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, and normally resulting in two new nuclei, each of which contains a complete copy of the parental chromosomes.
Centromere and Interphase
Centromere: a specialized condensed region of each chromosome that appears during mitosis where the chromatids are held together to form an X shape.
http://www.nyu.edu/classes/ytchang/book/n001/centromere.gif
Interphase:The stage of a cell between two successive mitotic or meiotic divisions.
http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/images/130/Meiosis/Lilium_microsporogenesis/Interphase.low.jpg
Cell Division and Chromatid
Cell Division: The process by which a cell divides to form two daughter cells, each of which contains the same genetic material as the original cell and roughly half of its cytoplasm.

Chromatid: one of two identical strands into which a chromosome splits during mitosis http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/illustrations/mitosismeiosis.jpg

Max Planck
Max Planck was born on February 6, 1992 in North Carolina. Planck has lived in North Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Colorado.His favorite things are softball, the beach, and hanging out with my friends. His favorite season is Summer because of swimming and parties. Max favorite class is Team Sports. is Maxvery athletic but not very tall. Max likes to be outside at any time. Being inside is not really great for him but he can deal with it. School is also not a favorite thing because once again it is inside. His favorite movies are Because I Said So, I am Legend(somewhat), and Step Up. His favorite drink is a Fuze.
