Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic ones and their organelles are not membrane bound. The ribosomes in prokaryotic cells are much smaller than in eukaryotic . The genetic material in prokaryotes is one single, ring-shaped chromosome with no nuclear membrane. Most prokaryotes have cell wall made mostly by peptidogylcans. Cell division is through binary fision. Eukaryotic organisms are divided into 4 kingdoms: the protista, the plants, the fungi, and animals. The cell size is much

Unit 5: Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care. Name: Fatimah Al_Asadi Teacher name: Miss Bull Name: Fatimah Al_Asadi Teacher name: Miss Bull Aim and purpose This unit aims to enable learners to understand aspects of the anatomy and physiology of human body systems. Learners will be able to gain an overview of the organisation of the human body before looking at how body systems work together to provide energy for the body. Learners will have the opportunity to investigate

In at least some form, all types of organisms are capable of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development, and maintenance of homeostasis as a stable whole. An organism may either be unicellular (a single cell) or, as in the case of humans, comprise many trillions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs. The term multicellular (many cells) describes any organism made up of more than one cell. In this experiment, a microscope is a vital tool

What is DNA? Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the cell’s hereditary material and contains instructions for development, growth and reproduction. DNA is passed from generation to generation in humans and many others organisms. The same DNA is located in nearly every cell of the human body. DNA is mostly located within chromosomes in the nucleus, but some DNA is also found in the mitochondria. Chromosomes consist of DNA coiled around histones (alkaline proteins). If extended, the DNA would measure

Rollé Cell Structure Angel Assignment BIOL 110; Mahan 1. The first component is that all living things are made of cells. The second is that the cell is the most basic unit of life. The third is that all cells arise from pre-existing, living cells. 2. The plasma membrane consists of both lipids and proteins. The fundamental structure of the membrane is the phospholipid bilayer, which forms a stable barrier between two aqueous compartments. 3. It helps to form the shape of the cell. It

inherited. Most cells have a nucleus, which is a part of the cell that controls it. The nucleus contains chromosomes which are huge molecules of DNA found inside the nucleus of the cells. A chromosome consists of a string of genes. A gene carries an instruction. It’s the section of a chromosome that controls inherited characteristics of an organism and carries genetic information. Each gene is a length of DNA. DNA is a long coiled molecule which can unzip and copy itself when a cell divides. It

The supporters of therapeutic cloning and stem cell research call for the end of genetically linked diseases such as diabetes and cystic fibrosis. Human DNA has been atomized into clonable portions. The possibility of designer babies is cherished by affluent parents. All these are the realities of our time, the results of stem cell research whose impact may be unpredictable. On the one hand, human cloning may open new horizons for stem cell research; on the other hand, all this fuss about genetic

Analogies a) Nucleus- The nucleus is a highly specialized organelle that serves as the information processing and administrative center of the cell. These two major functions: it stores the cell's hereditary material, or DNA, and it coordinates the cell's activities, which include growth, intermediary metabolism, protein synthesis, and reproduction (cell division). b) DNA- It is a molecule that stores genetic information required for the development of the body and the control of cellular processes

the bacterial cell wall contains a carbohydrate matrix linked together by short chains of amino acids. 12. Nuclear pores apparently permit the passage of only proteins inward and outward, but RNA only outward. 13. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the other organelles besides the nucleus that contain DNA. 14. The Golgi apparatus and ER are organelles that participate in the synthesis and modification of enzymes targeted to the plasma membrane. 15. The principles of cell theory or cell doctrine include

The cell is what creates all life, may it be singular or a large collection of cells combined together. Although very small they are subdivided into several different parts and in the eukaryotic cell one very important part is the nucleus. The person who first discovered this organelle was a botanist called Robert Brown (1773-1858). The nucleus is the most prominent organelle found in eukaryotic cells; it takes the form of a sphere like shape, and is often found towards the middle of the cell. The
