• Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Osmosis: Diffusion of Water
• In a cell, water always moves to reach an equal concentration on both sides of the membrane.
Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200
• The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis.
Osmosis: Diffusion of Water
• Regulating the water flow through the plasma membrane is an important factor in maintaining homeostasis within a cell.
Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200
• Unequal distribution of particles, called a concentration gradient, is one factor that controls osmosis.

Section 2 Objectives – page 201
Section Objectives
• Relate the function of a cell to its organization in tissues, organs, and organ systems.
• Sequence the events of the cell cycle.
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Cell Size Limitations
• The cells that make up a multicellular organism come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes.
• Considering this wide range of cells sizes, why then can’t most organisms be just one giant cell?
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Diffusion limits cell size
• Although diffusion is a fast and efficient process over short distances, it becomes slow and inefficient as the distances become larger.
• Because of the slow rate of diffusion, organisms can’t be just one giant-sized cell.
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
DNA limits cell size
• The cell cannot survive unless there is enough DNA to support the protein needs of the cell.
• In many large cells, more than one nucleus is present.
• Large amounts of DNA in many nuclei ensure that cell activities are carried out quickly and efficiently.
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Surface area-to-volume ratio
• As a cell’s size increases, its volume increases much faster than its surface area.
Surface area = 6 mm2 Volume = 1 mm3
Surface area = 24 mm2 Volume = 8 mm3

The Cell Cycle
• The cell cycle is the sequence of growth and division of a cell.
• The majority of a cell’s life is spent in the growth period known as interphase.
Interphase
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
The Cell Cycle
• Following interphase, a cell enters its period of nuclear division called mitosis.
• Following mitosis, the cytoplasm divides, separating the two daughter cells. Mitosis
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Interphase: A Busy Time
• Interphase, the busiest phase of the cell cycle, is divided into three parts.
DNA synthesis and replication
Centrioles replicate; cell prepares for
division
Rapid growth and metabolic activity
Interphase
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Interphase: A Busy Time
• During the first part, the cell grows and protein production is high.
Rapid growth

Interphase
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Interphase: A Busy Time
• After the chromosomes have been duplicated, the cell enters another shorter growth period in which mitochondria and other organelles are manufactured and cell parts needed for cell division are assembled.

Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Prophase: The first phase of mitosis
• During prophase, the chromatin coils to form visible chromosomes.
Spindle fibers
Disappearing nuclear envelope
Doubled chromosome
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Prophase: The first phase of mitosis
• The two halves of the doubled structure are called sister chromatids.
Sister chromatids
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Prophase: The first phase of mitosis
• Sister chromatids are held together by a structure called a centromere, which plays a role in chromosome movement during mitosis.
Centromere
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Metaphase: The second stage of mitosis
• During metaphase, the chromosomes move to the equator of the spindle.
Centromere
Sister chromatids
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Anaphase: The third phase of mitosis
• During anaphase, the centromeres split and the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Telophase: The fourth phase of mitosis
• During telophase, two distinct daughter cells are formed. The cells separate as the cell cycle proceeds into the next interphase.
Nuclear envelope reappears
Two daughter cells are formed
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Cytokinesis
• Following telophase, the cell’s cytoplasm divides in a process called cytokinesis.
• Cytokinesis differs between plants and animals.
• Toward the end of telophase in animal cells, the plasma membrane pinches in along the equator.
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Cytokinesis
• Plant cells have a rigid cell wall, so the plasma membrane does not pinch in.
• A structure known as the cell plate is laid down across the cell’s equator.
• A cell membrane forms around each cell, and new cell walls form on each side of the cell plate until separation is complete.
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Results of Mitosis
• When mitosis is complete, unicellular organisms remain as single cells.
• In multicellular organisms, cell growth and reproduction result in groups of cells that work together as tissue to perform a specific function.
Section 8.2 Summary – pages 201 - 210
Results of Mitosis
• Tissues organize in various combinations to form organs that perform more complex roles within the organism.
• Multiple organs that work together form an organ system.
Section 3 Objectives – page 211
Section Objectives

• Distinguish between the events of a normal cell cycle and the abnormal events that result in cancer.
• Identify ways to potentially reduce the risk of cancer.
Section 8.3 Summary – pages 211 - 213
Normal Control of the Cell Cycle
• The cell cycle is controlled by proteins called cyclins and a set of enzymes that attach to the cyclin and become activated.
• Occasionally, cells lose control of the cell cycle.
Proteins and enzymes control the cell cycle
Section 8.3 Summary – pages 211 - 213
Normal Control of the Cell Cycle
• Cancer is a malignant growth resulting from uncontrolled cell division.
• This uncontrolled dividing of cells can result from the failure to produce certain enzymes, the overproduction of enzymes, or the production of other enzymes at the wrong time.
Section 8.3 Summary – pages 211 - 213
Normal Control of the Cell Cycle
• Enzyme production is directed by genes located on the chromosomes.
• A gene is a segment of DNA that controls the production of a protein.
Section 8.3 Summary – pages 211 - 213
Cancer: A mistake in the Cell Cycle
• Currently, scientists consider cancer to be a result of changes in one or more of the genes that produce substances that are involved in controlling the cell cycle.
• Cancerous cells form masses of tissue called tumors that deprive normal cells of nutrients.
Section 8.3 Summary – pages 211 - 213
Cancer: A mistake in the Cell Cycle
• In later stages, cancer cells enter the circulatory system and spread throughout the body, a process called metastasis, forming new tumors that disrupt the function of organs, organ systems, and ultimately, the organism.
Section 8.3 Summary – pages 211 - 213
The causes of cancer
• The causes of cancer are difficult to pinpoint because both genetic and environmental factors are involved.
Section 8.3 Summary – pages 211 - 213

Chapter Summary – 8.1
• Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
Cellular Transport
• Passive transport moves a substance with the concentration gradient and requires no energy from the cell.
Chapter Summary – 8.1
• Active transport moves materials against the concentration gradient and requires energy to overcome the flow of materials opposite the concentration gradient.
Cellular Transport
• Large particles may enter a cell by endocytosis and leave by exocytosis.
Chapter Summary – 8.2
• Cell size is limited largely by the diffusion rate of materials into and out of the cell, the amount of DNA available to program the cell’s metabolism, and the cell’s surface area-to-volume ratio.
Cell Growth and Reproduction
• The life cycle of a cell is divided into two general periods: a period of active growth and metabolism known as interphase, and a period that leads to cell division known as mitosis.
Chapter Summary – 8.2
