Unit: 1 Ecology
● Discussion points
● Discussion Points
● K-selection: Higher density organisms
● R-selection: max reproduction in a
lower density environment
● Interspecific Interaction
● Competitive exclusion principle-
○ When 2 species are vying for a resource,
the one with the slightest reproductive
advantage wins Type of Defenses

Checkpoint 1:
Is the cell big enough?
From M to G1 the Does it have enough
organelle density proteins for the S-Phase?
and enzymatic
activity increases

Checkpoint 3:
Are chromosomes
attached to spindle
fibers?

Is the DNA intact? D k ´ s and cy sors
● C h e superv
i
Is there enough a r e t
cycle
organelle to of this
continue?
 Continuation...
● Apoptosis= cell death b/c of little division
● centrosomes= microtubules of spindle fibers
originate
● Cleavage furrow= a groove b/t daughter nuclei
● Kinetochores= the attachment site of spindles
● Cell plate= the “cleavage furrow” in a plant.
● Metastasis= Cancer cells traveling through the Binary Fussion
blood to form new tumors sites
● PDGF lead to the cell division for scab formation.
● Density-Dep. inhibition(Contact inhibition)=cell Proto-oncogene mutations (cell
cycle overdrive) are dominant and
surface proteins of adjacent cells bind to each other Tumor suppressor gene mutations
and send a signal to stop cell division are recessive.
● Anchorage dependent= in order to divide cells must
be attached to a substrate or extracellular matrix of Which one would be
a tissue. harder to mutate? (See
