Virus and Bacteria Virus - A virus is a capsule of protein that contains genetic material. A virus cannot reproduce on its own; it must infect a living cell to grow. Bacteria - Bacteria are one-celled organisms that live on their own. They can multiply and reproduce by subdivision Bacteria and viruses cause many of the diseases we are familiar with and may sound synonymous; they are greatly different from each other. [pic] o They differ greatly in size. The biggest viruses are only as

once cellular life begins, or when the cells that constitute you begin to grow and divide. The problem with this view is that biology has proven to us that cellular life does not simply “begin”, it is a complex, continuous cycle. Science has shown that every cell that is alive in your body is the result of a split of some prior cell, so technically your body and its constituent cells have been “alive” for about 4 billion years. More specifically, the cells that constitute the potential DNA that could

constitute for many genetic defects during conception. During the process of Meiosis, cell division of a diploid cell occurs, which results in a four haploid progeny cells. These cells have half of the genetic information from the original parental diploid cell (Pearson School 2011). Twenty-three chromosomes are present in each cell. Once the sperm and the egg meet, Meiosis begins. This process of splitting cells and DNA replication can result in genetic information to be transferred, deleted, or

interconnected membranes (also known as the cytomembrane system) that fills the cell interior and connects the cell boundary with the double membraned organelles - nucleus, plastids and mitochondria. The phospholipid bilayer forms the basis for both outer and internal membranes. Thus while the Plasma Membrane, the outer-most cell membrane is an integral component of the cell boundary, its numerous convoluted protrusions into the cell interior and its connectivity with cytomembranes also allow it to be considered

Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) set out to disprove spontaneous generation with a now-classic experiment that both firmly established the cell theory beyond doubt and solidified the basic steps of the modern scientific method. 1. First, Pasteur prepared a nutrient broth 2. Next, he placed equal amounts of the broth into two long-necked flasks. He left one flask with a straight neck. The other he bent to form an "S" shape. | 3. Then he boiled the broth in each flask to kill any living matter

four basic human body structure units are cells, tissues, organs and systems which, all working together make the human body function. The cells are the core structure that make up the human body, although there are many different shapes, sizes and types they consist of three main parts, the cell membrane which maintains the shape of the cell and separates and controls the movement of material into and out of the cell, the nucleus which contains the cells DNA and determines its structure and function

Cell [pic] Nucleus- Holds DNA. Cell membrane- Controls all of the cell's communications. Mitochondria- Provides energy for the cell parts by converting sugar into a form of energy. Cytoplasm- Cell parts are suspended in the jelly like fluid of the cytoplasm. Endoplasmic reticulum- Controls all protein production in the cell. Golgi Apparatus- Recieves protenisn from the endplasmic reitculum and packages them for their final destination. Ribosome- Builds protein

other—that describes the energy metabolism of cells. Include the link or reference citation for the piece and describe how it helped you better understand the energy metabolism of cells. I found this video most helpful and it make it a lot easier to understand than the book especially the "falling" part. It starts with digestion and separates carb glucose which goes into to blood stream. Then the glucose will leave the capillary wall and enter cell. Then the texts starts to make a lot more since

Cell wall Plant cell and animal cell are different in shape, size and also has few different organelles which function in different way. One of the main difference between plant cells and animal cells is that plant cells have a cell wall, whereas animal cells don't. Instead of cell wall animal cells have cell membrane but the plant cells have both cell wall and cell membrane. The cell wall in plant cells work as a protection layer outside the cell membrane which also provides structure for the
