First I will describe the parts of the cell. The cell wall is a rigid box like structure found in plant cells. The cell wall protects the cell from unwanted particles , and stops the cell from bursting when too much water is present inside the cell. The cell membrane is responsible for five types of diffusion. The first diffusion is simple passive. Simple transport allows small particles to pass through the phospholipid bilateral from a high to low concentration. Examples of particles that can pass

types of cells, prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, lack a nuclear membrane and other membrane bound organelles. Their genetic material consists of a single molecule of singular DNA. Eukaryotes, such as plant and animal cells, have a nuclear membrane and other membrane bound organelles. Their genetic material consists of one or more linear strands of DNA. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, and a plasma membrane surrounding the cell. The typical plant cell has in addition

lipids destined to leave the cell (extracellular) and for use within the cell (intracellular). * Nucleolus-Dark-staining body within the nucleus where ribosomal RNA is synthesized. * Nucleus – contains the genetic makeup of the cell * Centrioles- Non-membrane-bound organelles that occur in pairs just outside the nucleus of animal cells. Each centriole is composed of a cylinder or ring of 9 sets of microtubule triplets with none in the middle. During cell division a pair of centrioles

the molecular (smallest components of life) to the global (Earth) scale. Biology encompasses a large variety of life on earth. Uses of Biology in every day life: Molecular Biology – (Biology that deals with the smallest components of life such as cells, DNA, RNA) is used to solve crimes and reveal ancestry. Ecology- The scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment is used to address environmental issues. Neuroscience- Field in biology that deals with brains; and Evolutionary

process when a cell divides into 2 daughter cells that genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell. All cells come from preexisting cells by mitosis. Cell division involves a karyokinesis (division of the nucleus) and a cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm). Mitosis produces the same number of chromosomes in each daughter cell as in the original nucleus which are inherited form a generation to another. It also causes a growth in the organism by increasing the number of cells. Not all

under many different circumstances. Previously, the main applications of the AFM included analyzing surfaces of materials and surfaces forces. More recently, applications of AFM have come to include analyzing living cells as well. By changing the type of tip used to polymer ones, living cells can be scanned without damaging them. Also, because AFM can be done in a liquid environment and dehydrating or coating the sample is not necessary, it aids in creating more accurate image analysis. Some modifications

principles of biology class. In biology we are currently learning about classification of the cell, its’ different parts and what it does. It is very difficult to learn the parts and their functions just by repeating them in my head like I normally would. I need something visual in order to remember what I need to know as far as having to remember the functions, characteristics and placement of the cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, lysosome, centriole, chloroplast, cilia and the flagella

DNA Technology BIO/240 May 6, 2013 DNA Technology INTRO – LEE DNA Technology: Cloning, Gene Therapy, and Stem Cell Research DNA technology encompasses a wide variety of applications and because of the duplicating nature of DNA, it is easy to see how humans could benefit from its manipulation. One such technology is cloning. Cloning technology comes in three forms: recombinant DNA cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning. Cloning Recombinant DNA cloning consists of transferring

The microstructure and function of animal cells In this assignment, I will be producing a report discussing and analysing the movement of materials in and out cells using different methods. These include passive transport. This is a process which doesn’t require energy, diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis are included in this. Active transport is a process which does need energy to function. Endocytosis and exocytosis are examples of this. Diffusion and the factors affecting how well
