| What is checked at START? (3) | cell size, DNA intactness, nutrient availability |
| G0 | cells enter this when don’t need to divide; must enter G1 to divide again |
| CdK | cyclin dependent kinase; each checkpoint has its own |
| Cyclin | proteins that vary in concentration over the cell cycle |
| Example of cyclin and cdk pair | MPF (mitosis promoting factor); conserved |
| 2 main regulatory mechanisms of cell cycle | phosphorylation (reversible), degradation of cyclins (irreversible) |
| p53 | checks for DNA damage at start and G2-M transitions; transcription factor for cyclin inhibiting protein (=cell cycle arrest) |
| which 2 cell wall components are secreted and more soluble? | pectin and hemicellulose |
| which 2 cell wall components are synthesized in place? | cellulose and lignin *make up most biomass on earth |

| receptor connection to actin | contraction, crawling |
| receptor connection to IFs | stretching resistance |
| 4 main cell surface receptor types | cadherin, CAM, integrin, selectin |
| adherins junctions | connect cells to cells, Ca2+ dependent |
