The Cell Theory The Cell Theory‚ formed by Anton van Leeuwenhoek‚ Robert Hooke‚ Matthias Schleiden‚ Theodore Schwann‚ and Rudolf Virchow‚ refers to the idea that cells are the basic unit of structure in every living organism. The theory justifies three principles: all living organisms are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the most basic unit of structure‚ function‚ and organization in all organisms; and all cells come from pre-existing‚ living cells. The formation of the cell theory

address this question: “Propose a possible explanation on why the light caused depolarization of the off-center ganglion cell?” we first have to describe the structure of the center -surround in the receptive fields of retinal. In the receptive field‚ there are cone photoreceptors that communicate with On and Off center bipolar cell and finally On and Off center ganglion cells that carry the action potential to the cortex. When light comes to the retina (eyes) it causes closing of channels in the

Every cell in the body goes through a life cycle. Cells grow and divide to replace cells that are lost because of normal wear and tear or injury to them. All cells grow and die at different rates. The cell cycle can be divided into three periods: interphase‚ the mitotic phase‚ and cytokinesis. During interphase‚ the cell grows‚ accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis‚ preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA. During the mitotic phase‚ the cell splits itself into two distinct daughter

The Cell membrane surrounds all living cells and is the most important organelle‚ there is also a similar plasma membrane that surrounds all the organelles except for the ribosome. The membrane controls how and what substances can move in and out of the cell/organelle The structure of the membrane is often referred to as the “Fluid Mosaic Model”; this is because of the way it is structured It is composed of phospholipids‚ proteins‚ and carbohydrates‚ which are arranged in a fluid

Cell Energy Worksheet Answer the following questions: Cellular respiration: • What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? The main function of cellular respiration is to generate ATP for cellular work; it is the process of harvesting chemical energy from organic fuel and converting it to ATP energy. The three stages of cell respiration include: Glycolysis‚ Citric Acid Cycle‚ and Electron Transport(Simon‚ Reece‚ & Dickery‚ 2010). • What is the role of glycolysis

Using cell phone has become a dominant part of their daily lives. According to the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project‚ about six in ten (66%) of all children in our sample had a cell phone before they turned 14. Slightly less than 75% of all high school students had a cell phone. The study also concludes that teenagers send text messages‚ take photos‚ play games‚ send e-mails‚ make phone calls‚ reading novels‚ and watch videos by their cell phones. These acts are quite normal for
