Cell division is needed to…

Why do cells divide? (Aka, why are cells small?)
More cells to grow and not enough DNA (it’s too demanding)
Surface to volume ratio decreases as size increases
Before the cell gets to big it must divide
When do cells divide?

External chemicals, or physical signals
(Cancer is an example of un-controlled cells)
What is the cell cycle?
The series of phases that a cell goes through as it grows and divides
A continuous process of 3 stages:
1. Interphase
2. Mitosis
3. Cytokinesis
Stage 1: Interphase
Cell life between divisions
The longest stage
Nucleus is still present
Phases:
GAP 0, (G0) grows and functions
GAP 1,(G1) Duplicates Organelles and molecules needed for cell division
Synthesis (S) Duplicates DNA (in chromatin form)
GAP 2 (G2) Checks for errors and centrioles are increased

Stage 2: Mitosis
Duplication and division of the cell nucleus
Phases:
1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase
Stage 3: Cytokinesis
Pinching off the cytoplasm (often grouped as part of mitosis)

Foam can be used to deny the fire the oxygen it needs. Water can be used to lower the temperature of the fuel below the ignition point or to remove or disperse the fuel. Halon…
