Cells must move materials through membranes and throughout cytoplasm in order to maintain homoeostasis. The movement is regulated because cellular membranes‚ including the plasma and organelle membranes‚ are selectively permeable[1]. The purpose of an automatic flow of molecules is to create equilibrium on each side of the membrane. In order for molecules to pass through the membranes‚ there must be pores. The size of the pore determines what molecules can cross. Due to the size and polarity‚ only

(cheek) cell under a light microscope. The stain methods I am going to use are iodine for my onion cell and methylene blue for my cheek cell. Introduction All animals and plants are made up of cells. Animal and plant cells are made from millions of tiny cells‚ so small that we are unable to see them with our naked eye. Animals and plants have many features in common within a cell such as a cell membrane‚ cytoplasm‚ mitochondria‚ ribosomes and the nucleus. Plant cells also have a cell wall‚ chloroplasts

put away our phones and try to live in the present for a while‚ we will feel more connected to the world. Moreover‚ spending more time on phones will not improve our relationships with others‚ but make people socially isolated.

stations using radiofrequency (RF) radiation. If RF radiation is high enough‚ it has a ‘thermal’ effect‚ which means it raises body temperature. There are concerns that the low levels of RF radiation emitted by mobile phones could cause health problems such as headaches or brain tumors. In addition‚ the devices those using RF radiations are safe. Such as: Radio had used RF radiation since 1893 and television had used RF radiation since 1939‚ and cell phone also uses RF radiation. So‚ cell phone absolutely

characteristics of a healthy cell and a cancer cell is very different. Healthy cells stop reproducing when there are enough cells‚ however‚ cancer cells continue to reproduce. Due to this continued growth a tumor‚ which is a cluster of cancer cells‚ is formed. Cancer cells do not interact with other cells like the healthy cells. Healthy cells stop growing when they hear signals from the nearby cells‚ in contrast‚ cancer cells do not respond to these signals. When healthy cells get old or damaged they

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

Osmosis of a Potato cell. Hypothesis is that the potato in saltwater is going to show that it will break down the cells of the potato. Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane‚ from a solution of low solute concentration to a solution with high solute concentration‚ up a solute concentration gradient. Net movement of solvent is from the less-concentrated to the more-concentreated.‚ which tends to redure the difference in concentrations. This effect can be countered

Cell Phone and Social Graces Have you ever talk to someone and they did not reply because they are busy playing on their cell phone? We all have that experience. We cannot blame on the cell phone because people are responsible for their behavior. In the essay “ Cell phone and social graces”‚ Charles Fisher elaborates on the use of cell phone and shows how careless‚ sometimes inconsiderate‚ and needy most people are when using their cell phones. Charles Fisher pointed out the negative when people
