THE CELL
• Cell is the fundamental component of structure, development, growth, and life processes in the body• Body is composed of trillions of cells• Some are freely moving, independent units• Some remain in position as part of tissues
• Cells are engaged in an ongoing process of obtaining energy and converting it to support their functions• If exposure to ionizing radiation damages the cell beyond
repair, cells behave abnormally or die

CELL CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
• Cells are made of protoplasm--the chemical building material for all living things• Protoplasm consists of:• Organic compounds• Inorganic compounds• Water

ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
• Proteins• Make up about 15% of cell content• Essential for growth, construction of new body tissue, and
the repair of injured tissue

ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
• Proteins (cont.)• Formed when amino acids are connected by __________
________ into long, chainlike configurations• The order of arrangement of amino acids determines the
precise function of each protein• Structural Proteins: provide the body with shape and form;
source of heat and energy• Enzymatic Proteins: function as catalysts—agents that speed
up reactions to meet the needs of the cell• Repair Enzymes: can mend damaged molecules and are
therefore capable of helping the cell to recover from a small amount of radiation-induced damage
• Hormones: chemical secretions carried by the bloodstream to influence the activities of other parts of the body
• Antibodies: chemically attack any foreign invaders or antigens

by pairs of nitrogenous bases (steps or rungs)• Bases are divided as:
• Purines: • Pyrimidines:
• Purines link with pyrimidines in certain specific combinations• Adenine always bonds with thymine• Cytosine always bonds with guanine

migrate to opposite sides of cell• Metaphase: Mitotic spindle forms between centrioles,
chromosomes line up in the center of the cell• Anaphase: Chromatids travel to opposite sides of the cell• Telophase: Chromatids uncoil, nuclear membrane re-
forms, two nuclei appear• After division completes, each daughter cell has a complete
cell membrane and contains 46 chromosomes (exactly the same as the parent cell)
