Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to generate new cells of any kind during early life and growth. There are about 200 different types of cells in the body; such as muscle‚ skin and brain cells. Most of these cells have to be repaired or replaced once in a while. For example our taste buds are replaced every 10 days‚ skin cells every couple of weeks and liver cells every 300-500 days. Stem cells serve as an internal repair system dividing essentially without limit to replenish

BIO 353 Cell Biology Study Questions for Exam #3 Fall‚ 2012 Cytoskeleton “The harder the conflict‚ the more glorious the triumph.” Thomas Paine... “Unless you really just screw up.” Bush 1. What are microfilaments? (He said know how to identify/draw these) Note: since it is multiple choice‚ I doubt we will have to know how to draw them. **There are also short essay questions and‚ in past classes‚ he has asked students to draw. I thought the final was ALL MULTIPLE CHOICE???********************************

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

Cell Size Control David A Guertin‚ Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research‚ Cambridge‚ Massachusetts‚ USA David M Sabatini‚ Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research‚ Cambridge‚ Massachusetts‚ USA Growth in biological systems is defined as the accumulation of mass‚ which leads to an increase in size. In this article‚ we discuss how cells‚ organs‚ and organisms normally control growth‚ and how deregulated growth can lead to a variety of pathological conditions. Introductory article Article

Developing Verifiable Goals Questions & Answers Q1.Can a division manager develope verifiable goals‚ or objective‚ when they have not been assigned to him or her by the president? How? What kind of information or help do you believe is important for the division manager to have from headquarters? ANS 1. Yes‚ I think a division manager can develop verifiable goals‚ or objective‚ when they have not been assigned to him or her by the president. It seems that the division manager has exercised management

Discussion The various stages of nuclear division were observed in this experiment. These stages are prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase and telophase. There are two types of nuclear division include mitosis and meiosis. Mitotic cell division is involved in the formation of an adult organism from a fertilized egg‚ asexual reproduction‚ regeneration‚ and maintenance or repair of body parts. Mitosis typically results in new somatic‚ or body cells. Meiosis results in the formation of either gametes in animals

PLANT CELL Introduction Plant cell is the basic unit of structure and function in nearly all plants. The range of specialization and the character of association of plant cells are very wide. In the simplest plant forms a single cell constitutes a whole organism and carries out all the life functions. In just slightly more complex forms‚ cells are associated structurally‚ but each cell appears to carry out the fundamental life functions‚ although certain ones may be specialized

operations that minimize the adverse effects of processing. The effect of food processing on finished product quality ultimately determines the usefulness and commercial viability of that unit process operation. In the particular case of food drying this indicates that loss of volatiles and flavours‚ changes in colour and texture‚ and a decrease in nutritional value. Furthermore‚ residual enzyme activity and microbial activity in dried foods are essential parameters that effect product quality and shelf life

temperature)‚ and 70°C. This investigation tested the hypothesis: The rate of osmosis will increase as the temperature increases 2x2x2cm cubes of potato were weighed and then placed into 100mL of 10% NaCl solutions for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the cubes were again weighed to determine the amount of mass that they lost/gained and thus get an indication of the rate of osmosis. The results collected showed that the rate of osmosis was highest in the 70°C solution and lowest in the 20°C solution
