• Cancer is a growth resulting from uncontrolled cell division.

• Occasionally , cells lose control of the cell cycle.

Control of Cell Cycle

• This loss of control may be caused by environmental factors or certain inheritances.

• Scientists believe that if something goes wrong with these enzymes, they cause cells to skip a long interphase and divide a lot faster than they should.

Control of Cell Cycle• There are enzymes (proteins) that control the rate of

the cell’s life cycle.

• A bunch of cancer cells together form masses of tissue called tumors that deprive normal cells of

nutrients.

CANCER

• The causes of cancer are difficult to pinpoint because both genetic and environmental factors are involved.

CANCER

• Cancer may also be caused by viral infections that damage the genes.

Lysogenic

5. Why can’t HIV attack red blood cells or other types of white blood cells (like B cells)?

5. Why can’t HIV attack red blood cells or other types of white blood cells (like B cells)?

It must fit like a puzzle piece into the receptor site of a particular cell- so it

can only attack Helper T’s
