8 themes of biology relating to the cell membrane Science as a process: Science is a process which encompasses many methods in order to reach a final conclusion. This relates to the cell membrane because it carries out many processes to reach a final product. For example‚ the cell membrane forms a barrier between the inside of the cell and the outside‚ so that the chemical environments on the two sides can be different. The cell controls those differences to optimize the working of the organelles

Cell structure and function Cell structures come in various shapes and sizes dependent on their location within an organism and what life sustaining process it carries out. These can range from the globular protein of a red blood cell‚ designed to carry four oxygen molecules at a time to the tail like flagellum of a bacteria designed for mobility and penetration of organs within a body. There are tow major types of cells‚ prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. An organelle is defined as an

1. INTRODUCTION A solar cell is a device that converts the energy of sunlight directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Sometimes the term solar cell is reserved for devices intended specifically to capture energy from sunlight‚ while the term photovoltaic cell is used when the light source is unspecified.”Photovoltaics” the field of technology and research related to the application of solar cells in producing electricity for practical use.

three main parts of a cell. plasma membrane-forms a cell’s flexible outer surface‚ separating the cell’s internal environment (inside the cell) from its external environment (outside the cell) cytoplasm- consists of all the cellular contents between the plasma membrane and the nucleus. nucleus- is the largest organelle of a cell. The nucleus acts as the control center for a cell because it contains the genes‚ which control cellular structure and most cellular activities The cell is the basic‚ living

ASSIGNMENT - Why is a cell microscopic? By Lachlan Bryant This research assignment will discuss why cells are usually microscopic in size‚ given that they need to be able to exchange material with their surrounding environment. The cell is highly organised with many functional units or organelles (Spurger).A membrane is a fluid mosaic which consists of proteins‚ lipids and carbohydrates which seperates the cell from it’s surrounding environment or subdivides a cell into specialised regions or

The Cell Cycle Mitosis: the process by which cells reproduce themselves‚ resulting in daughter cells that contain the same amount of genetic material as the parent cell. Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis Cell Division Occurs in a series of stages of phases Interphase occurs before mitosis begins Chromosomes are copied (# doubles) Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils (chromatin) at the start‚ but each chromosome and its copy(sister chromosome) change to sister

Cell Membrane – The cell membrane protects the inside of the cell from outside containments‚ keeps the cell in contact and maintains its shape. This relates to mall security guards. They’re job is to protect the mall‚ make sure everything is intact and everybody is safe. Without the cell membrane‚ containments could enter‚ the security guards do the same. Without them‚ bad people or things could happen in the mall. Cell Wall – The cell wall provides structural support and protection to the cells

has been coming up around the world is animals in captivity. There are many downfalls to having animals kept in captivity like being apart from their families‚ not in their natural enviornment/habitat‚ and simply that animals belong in the wild. But besides all the negativity behind animals in captivity‚ there are some advantages. Some advantages would be: protecting a species from endangerment‚ proper diet‚ and a safe haven for animals in need. Animals held in captivity usually needed some

ROD CELLS Rod cells‚ or rods‚ are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than the other type of visual photoreceptor‚ cone cells. Rods are concentrated at the outer edges of the retina and are used in peripheral vision. On average‚ there are approximately 125 million rod cells in the human retina.[1] More sensitive than cone cells‚ rod cells are almost entirely responsible for night vision. STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION Rods are a little longer and leaner
