Cell Respiration Respiration is the process by which organisms burn food to produce energy. The starting material of cellular respiration is the sugar glucose‚ which has energy stored in its chemical bonds. You can think of glucose as a kind of cellular piece of coal: chock-full of energy‚ but useless when you want to power a stereo. Just as burning coal produces heat and energy in the form of electricity‚ the chemical processes of respiration convert the energy in glucose into usable form. Adenosine

body‚ there are billions of cells that are essential to living – these are called nerve cells. Nerve cells‚ also known as neurons‚ “are the basic information processing structures” (Stufflebeam). There are about 100 billion of these neurons in our nervous system and are the most essential cell in it. Located in brain as well as the spinal‚ there are different types of nerve cells; including: sensory neurons‚ motor neurons‚ and interneuron (Boeree). The neuron is a cell that is structured similarly

CELL INJURY: CAUSES OF CELL INJURY‚ MECHANISMS OF REVERSIBLE AND IRREVERSIBLE CELL INJURY. CELL INJURY. Causes of cell injury range from gross mechanical external causes to mild endogenous causes as genetic lack of enzymes etc. Virtually all forms of tissue injuries start with molecular or structural alterations in cells. Under normal conditions‚ the cells are in: ❖ homeostastatic „steady“ state Normal cell is confined to relatively narrow range of functions and structure by

OR • All living organisms are composed of one or more cells‚ Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism‚ and Cells come only from the reproduction of existing

between whether a virus is living or nonliving has been going on for years. In order to answer this question‚ one must have background knowledge relating to the current cell theory‚ the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes‚ and the structures and functions found within cells. Once this knowledge is known‚ a person is then able to give their opinion in the debate. In the 1800s‚ the cell theory was developed. This theory states that cells are found in all living things making them the basic

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are both vital to our world today. Prokaryotic cells are simple‚ yet the oldest‚ and were known to evolve around 3.5 billion year ago. Eukaryotic cells are more complex and have been said to appear on Earth 2.5 billion years ago. It is sort of like people or characters in movies. You see them one year and basically understand what they’re doing or going through and then a year or two from now they seem like they become more complicated to understand. That’s just

1.) Cells are complex and incredible structures that through series of reactions can create cellular energy‚ reproduce genetic material and eliminate waste products. Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells and it is believed that they evolved from prokaryotes. What are 3 major characteristics that distinguish eukaryotes from prokaryotes? Choose 2 pieces of evidence (that we learned about in class) and explain how they support the theory that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes

move across the cell membrane is that the carbon dioxide molecules spread out rapidly out your red blood cells down their concentration gradient to your lungs. When water molecules move freely through your cell membrane is called osmosis as we learned last unit. The reason why molecules move across the cell membrane is because they are small molecules that have no charge like oxygen which the cell membrane need to survive. So basically the molecules that move across the cell membrane are necessary
