a cell body (soma), dendrites, and an axon. The term neurite is used to describe either a dendrite or an axon, particularly in its undifferentiated stage. Dendrites are thin structures that arise from the cell body, often extending for hundreds of micrometres and branching multiple times, giving rise to a complex "dendritic tree". An axon is a special cellular extension that arises from the cell body at a site called the axon hillock and travels for a distance, as far as 1 meter in humans or even

connotations before the 1920s. It is a form of the Middle English destresse, derived via Old French from the Latin stringere, "to draw tight."[1] It had long been in use in physics to refer to the internal distribution of a force exerted on a material body, resulting in strain. In the 1920s and 1930s, the term was occasionally being used in biological and psychological circles to refer to a mental strain, unwelcome happening, or, more medically, a harmful environmental agent that could cause illness

‘Not only do Prokaryotes have a wide range of metabolic activities crucial for maintaining the biosphere, they also exert significant impacts on human life’ discuss this statement fully using named examples. Prokaryotes are unicellular microorganisms without a nucleus; they are divided into two groups’ Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. These microorganisms are very small and invisible and are known as the most dominant species on the earth’s biosphere as they are found almost everywhere on earth

The B cells structure has specific receptors on its membrane that allow it to bind to chemical messengers. These receptors are BCR receptors; the presence of the BCR is what distinguishes B cells from T cells. By containing these receptors on its outer membrane, it therefore gives it a greater function as it is able to bind to a particular antigen, and express antibodies. It has a large, round cell body, which is perfect for undergoing cell division in order to differentiate to a plasma cell. Its

When I started the Evolution class, I was a little skeptic about whether or not I would believe in the theory of evolution were to be true. I was raised in a Baptist home where we were taught the God created the Heavens and the Earth in the book of Genesis. In Genesis 1 states that in the beginning the earth was without form and was dark. God divided the light from the darkness and created night from day. Throughout all that I was taught, I always wonder if there was something there before the

modifies the genetics' structure of an organism by making changes to DNA. This new creation of DNA is injected in plants, animals, or humans, in order to create enhanced crops, animals, or prevent genetic diseases. One of the major fields in genetic engineering is the human field. According to Asch, a biochemistry researcher in Canada, the study of genetic modification in humans involves changes in the DNA, in order to prevent disease, alter human body structure, and changes the human him/herself (Asch
