Stem cells -are biological cells found in all multi cellularorganisms‚ that can divide (throughmitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. In mammals‚ there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells‚ which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts‚ and adult stem cells‚ which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms‚ stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body‚ replenishing

compartmentation of mammalian cells and the differing functions of these compartments. All mammals are eukaryotes and therefore have eukaryotic cells. These cells contain several organelles suited to a specific function they carry out within the cell. These eukaryotic cells contain a Nucleus‚ Mitochondria‚ Ribosomes‚ Rough and Smooth endoplasmic reticulum‚ Golgi apparatus and various other organelles. Most of the organelles are separated from each other by a membrane‚ these membranes are based on lipid bilayers

P1 [pic] Cell membrane - encloses the contents of the cell and regulates the flow of substances into and out of the cell. Mitochondrion - this feature produces a substance called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is the carrier of energy in all cells. Centriole - these two features made of hollow tubules play a key role in cell division. Ribosomes - these small‚ granular features of the cell play a key role in the assembly of proteins. Chromosome - During cell division‚ DNA‚ the

Cells of the body are organized into four fundamental tissues; epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle and nerve. Epithelial tissues line all surfaces of the body: the skin‚ cavities‚ ducts‚ vessels. They are named according to the cell shape on the free surface. Cells of a tissue are held together by the basement membrane and intercellular fibbers. These tissues receive their nutrition by diffusion‚ for they are without blood vessels. Simple squamous epithelium lines all blood and lymphatic vessel‚ including

Associate Program Material Cell Energy Worksheet Answer the following questions: Cellular respiration: What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? Cellular respiration is the complete cycle of a glucose molecule that happens to be using oxygen. The three stages of cellular respiration are: Glycosis‚ the Krebs cycle‚ and the electron transport chain. What is the role of glycolysis? Include the reactants and the products. Where does it occur? Glycolysis is the

Stem cells agreement by Zayne Burnham Many scientists are now researching special types of cells called stem cells. Stem cells are very important and have the potential to cure many diseases; however there are also many issues to consider when using stem cells. Stem cells research has created concern for some in the community‚ national and international.beacause the best source of stem cells is growing human embryo. The dilemma is that the growing embryo is the earliest stage of human life extracting

Evolution of Sickle Cell Sickle Cell was discovered in the United states although it originated in Africa . The sickle cell disease (SCD) describes traits of an inherited red blood cell disorder‚ having SCD means you have abnormal hemoglobin‚ called hemoglobin S or sickle hemoglobin‚ in your red blood cells. What is hemoglobin u might ask?! Well Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that is suppose to carry oxygen throughout the body. But when a sickle cell trait is “Inherited” it could

1. Taxol its generic name being palitaxel stabilises cytoskeletal microtubes and thus spindles cannot be formed so cell division is prevented. During telophase taxol causes the reversal of prophase events such as the chromosomes decondense‚ spindle disassembly‚ nuclear envelope reformation‚ the Golgi apparatus and E.R. reform and the nucleus also reforms. Cytokinesis effects are that the cell still divides for animal cells a cleavage furrow made of actin and myosin II constricts the middle of the
