Mastering Concepts 3.1 1. What is a cell? A cell is the smallest unit of life. 2. How have microscopes contributed to the study of cells? Microscopes have led to the discovery of cells, have allowed us to differentiate structures in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, have allowed us to study the organelles that make up a eukaryotic cell, and have even let us watch some basic cell functions as they occur. 3. What are the main components of cell theory? The main components of

Australian scientists have found a novel way to study whales without killing them. The Japanese authorities claim to base their arguments for whaling on science, but in fact invest heavily in emotive messages - for example, that whaling is an integral part of the national culture • There is no national culture of whaling in Japan; there are local cultures, but there are also local cultures that regard whales as gods, where killing them would be unthinkable • Successive governments have placed

INTRODUCCION Por medio de la presente se pretende explicar el proceso de la fotosíntesis en las plantas que convierte la energía lumínica del sol en alimentos ricos en energía, utilizable para los seres vivos. Para ello usan agua y gas carbónico del medio. Estos dos compuestos, al ponerse en contacto con la luz solar y en prencencia de la clorofila, se reorganizan formando azucares y liberando oxigeno como producto de desecho. La fotosíntesis ocurre en los cloroplastos de las células. Como producto
