Name:______________________________________________________Period:_________ Directions: In this lab you will compare normal cells to cancerous cells and observe the differences between them. Problem: How do normal and cancerous cells compare? Procedure: Examine the slides of normal cells and cancerous under the microscope. Draw and describe your observations. On the first line, write what the total magnification is on your microscope. On the second line, write the name of the cell as provided on the slide. Description: _________________________ Description: _________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ Analyze and Conclude: 1. Cancer cells not only appear different from normal cells, but they also divide more rapidly. Why do you think chemotherapy, a common treatment for cancer, results in the loss of hair? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Explain why uncontrolled cell division is dangerous in organisms. ______________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Name:______________________________________________________Period:_________ Reviewing Main Ideas: 1. Describe what a growth factor is and how it influences the cell cycle. ___________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Explain how cancer cells differ from healthy cells. __________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Critical Thinking 3. How do benign and malignant tumors differ? ______________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Suppose chromosomes in a skin cell are damaged by ultraviolet radiation. If the damaged genes do not affect cell cycle regulation, do you think the cell will become cancerous? Explain. ______________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Connecting Concepts` 5. Some anticancer drugs prevent microtubules from forming spindle fibers. Why do you think these drugs might be effective treatments for cancer? _____________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________
