Is division and movement of cells change?  Somebody define change for me.?

I can't speak for people who hold the creationist world view, but as far as biology is concerned, the change you are thinking of is probably the "change in allele frequency over time." This change is called Evolution. \n\nStrictly speaking though, division is change, and so is movement. Just not a change in the ability of the cell to undergo its functions. Just like my computer would be the same computer if I moved it to a different room. If I changed the code on the computer though, I would consider that a change.

The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle (CDC), is the series of events in a eukaryotic cell between one cell division and the next. Thus, it is the process by which a single-cell fertilized egg develops into a mature organism and the process by which hair, skin, blood cells, and some internal organs are renewed. A specialized form of cell division is responsible for cellular differentiation during embryogenesis and morphogenesis, as well as for the maintenance of stem cells during adult life.\n\nThe cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase. M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes: mitosis, in which the cell's chromosomes are divided between the two daughter cells, and cytokinesis, in which the cell's cytoplasm physically divides. Cells that have temporarily or reversibly stopped dividing are said to have entered a state of quiescence called G0 phase, while cells that have permanently stopped dividing due to age or accumulated DNA damage are said to be senescent. Some cell types in mature organisms, such as parenchymal cells of the liver and kidney, enter the G0 phase semi-permanently and can only be induced to begin dividing again under very specific circumstances; other types, such as epithelial cells, continue to divide throughout an organism's life.\n\nThe molecular events that control the cell cycle are ordered and directional; that is, each process occurs in a sequential fashion and it is impossible to "reverse" the cycle. There are two key classes of regulatory molecules that determine a cell's progress through the cell cycle: cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases. Leland H. Hartwell, R. Timothy Hunt, and Paul M. Nurse won the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of these central molecules in the regulation of the cell cycle.\n\nPhases of the cell cycle\n\n Schematic of the cell cycle. I=Interphase, M=Mitosis. The duration of mitosis in relation to the other phases has\nbeen exaggerated in this diagramAlthough the various stages of interphase are not usually morphologically distinguishable, each phase of the cell cycle has a distinct set of specialized biochemical processes that prepare the cell for entry into the next stage. It should be remembered that, throughout interphase, the cell carries out its normal metabolic activities and is actively engaging in transcription and translation of its genome.\n\nIn G1 phase, the cell carries on its usual metabolic activities while preparing to duplicate its DNA. These preparations often include growing by increasing the amount of cytoplasm and the number of important organelles such as mitochondria. (This is particularly important in organisms and cell types that divide their cytoplasm unevenly, as in budding yeast.) In G1 a diploid cell (such as a human cell) has a complement of 2N chromosomes, where N is the gene copy number; in sexually reproducing organisms this amounts to one chromosome inherited from each parent. The actual quantity of DNA is described as 2c, where the "c" value is measured in picograms and 1c is equal to the quantity of DNA in a single haploid genome. The end of G1 is demarcated by a "point of no return" beyond which the cell is committed to dividing; in yeast this is called START and in multicellular eukaryotes it is termed the restriction point. \nIn S phase, the cell duplicates its DNA. \nIn G2 phase, the cell continues with growth and metabolism in preparation for undergoing mitosis. In this quantity of DNA within the cell has increased to 4c, but the cell is still considered diploid. \nIn M phase the cell segregates its chromosomes so that both daughter cells receive a total complement of 2N. The four stages of mitosis - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase - also progress in a sequential and directional fashion, like the cell cycle as a whole. Telophase, the final stage of mi

The cell cycle, or cell division cycle, is the cycle of events in a eukaryotic cell from one cell division to the next. It consists of interphase, mitosis, and usually cell division. The cell cycle is regulated by cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases. Leland H. Hartwell, R. Timothy Hunt, and Paul M. Nurse won the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of these central molecules in the regulation of the cell cycle.\nThe phases of the cell cycle are:\n\nThe G0 phase is a period in the cell cycle where cells exist in a quiescent state. \nThe G1 phase is the first growth phase. \nS phase, during which the DNA is replicated, where S stands for the Synthesis of DNA. \nG2 phase is the second growth phase, also the preparation phase for the cell. \nM phase or mitosis and cytokinesis, the actual division of the cell into two daughter cells. \nA surveillance system, so-called "checkpoints", monitor the cell for DNA damage and failure to perform critical processes. Checkpoints can block progression through the phases of the cell cycle if certain conditions are not met. For instance, there is a checkpoint which monitors DNA replication and keeps cells from proceeding to mitosis before DNA replication is completed. Similarly, the spindle checkpoint blocks the transition from metaphase to anaphase within mitosis if not all chromosomes are attached to the mitotic spindle.\n\nIf this system senses a problem, a network of signaling molecules instructs the cell to stop dividing. They can let the cell know whether to repair the damage or initiate programmed cell death, a form of which is called apoptosis. Programmed cell death ensures that the damaged cell is not further propagated. For example, a certain protein, called p53, acts to accept signals provoked by DNA damage. It responds by stimulating the production of inhibitory proteins that then halt the DNA replication process. Without proper p53 function, DNA damage can accumulate unchecked. A direct consequence is that the damaged gene progresses into a cancerous state. Today, defects in p53 are associated with a variety of cancers, including some breast and colon cancers.\n\nSome cells, such as neurons, never divide once they become locked in a G0 phase. However, recent data has shown that neurons undergoing cell death re-enter the cell cycle. Addition of cell cycle inhibitors prevent this type cell death called apoptosis.

The difference between immortalization and oncogenic transformation has been largely defined through cell-culture experiments and may not actually exist in human cancer cells. But it's an interesting difference nevertheless.\n\nImmortalization refers to the act of creating cells that can divide indefinitely in culture. Typically, normal cells taken directly from an animal (referred to as primary cells) can only divide a certain number of times; after that, their chromosome ends, or telomeres, shorten too much and the cells can no longer divide further. Human cells in culture without any special treatments will always stop dividing eventually. Rodent cells are a little different from the onset. After dividing several times, almost all the cells will either completely cease division (we call this stage "senescence") or die, but a few cells will recover and start dividing anew. These cells can then grow indefinitely in culture and are referred to as immortal.\n\nThe distinction between immortalization and oncogenic transformation is best seen in experiments where these cells are injected into immunocompromised mice. Immortal cells will not cause tumors in these animals. Furthermore, they will generally only grow as a single layer of cells in a dish, exhibiting what is known as contact inhibition. As soon as all of the cells are in contact with other ones, they cease growth until new space is opened up.\n\nTransformation is essentially loss of this contact inhibition. Transformed cells are capable of growing on top of each other in a seemingly limitless fashion. These cells will form tumors if injected into mice. Transformed cells have a number of other characteristics, including the ability to sometimes grow in the absence of survival factors and the ability to divide without being specifically instructed to do so from outside the cell (normally cells will not divide until they receive these specific signals).\n\nCells can be transformed in a number of ways, many of them involving genes called oncogenes, which allow cells to bypass the normal controls on their growth. Interesting experiments using rodent cells show the link between immortalization and transformation. It has long been known that if you introduce two oncogenes together into primary rodent cells (these oncogenes are also known to cause human cancer), the cells become transformed, but introduction of them singly causes the cells to undergo programmed cell death or stop growing altogether. If, however, you begin the experiment using a cell that has become immortalized (but is not transformed), one of those oncogenes alone is capable of causing transformation.\n\nAs I mentioned before, human cells behave a little differently from rodent cells. In the past, scientists were able to create, through poorly understood means, rare human cell lines that were immortalized but not transformed. Recently, scientists did something that was not possible before: they directly transformed human cells with defined oncogenes in culture. The key seems to be differences between how humans and rodents safeguard an enzyme called telomerase, which lengthens telomeres in cells.

do you mean what processes cells must undergo? \n\nIf that's your question, then the processes would be cell division by mitosis (to produce more cells, so that organism can increase in size/length), cell elongation(this occurs mainly in plants via vacuolation and thus aids in increase in size and length) and cell differentiation(this allows genes to be switched on or off so that certain traits/phenotypes can be expressed, eg. gene that codes for blue eyes switched on for cell in the eye and not elsewhere like cell on the hand/feet). Hope this answers your question.

mitosis is the process of cell division.\n\nWithout cell division there would be no reproduction of cells, therefore when a cell dies, that would be it.  Eventually all your cells would die, and you'd be dead.\n\nThis website will probably explain it better:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis

Mitosis is the process Cells go through to successfully replicate.  Cancer could be defined as uncontrolled cellular replication.  Cellular mechanisms have evolved to regulate mitosis.  A loss or malfunction of these regulator mechanisms may stimulate mitosis at the wrong time and lead to cancer.

The key here is the wording.  Transformation means change, and the sun's energy always arrives as radiation.  The organization of atoms is also constant - numbers of neutrons and electrons vary, but protons for each atom do not, and each particle stays basically where it should.  Movement indicates a potential for change -- electrons "jump" to your finger from a doorknob or from charged clouds to the ground, as lightning. C
