- The major functions of the cell is concentrated at the outer edges of the retina and are used in peripheral vision. On average‚ there are about 125 million rod cells in the human retina. Rod cells are almost entirely responsible for night vision. Rod cells do not process fine details or color differences‚ but are highly sensitive to light. A single flash of light is all that is require to produce a response from a rod cell. Rod cells function as specialized neurons that convert visual stimuli in

structure of a cell to is a car. The reason I choose to do a car is because it is very similar to the structure of a cell and because to me it was the most interesting choice to choose from. Another reason I choose to compare the cell to a car is because it seemed to be the easiest one for me to do as compared to a Hogwarts or a city. Doing a house or a prison would have also been fairly easy but they were already picked by the people at my table. That wars why I choose to compare the human cell to an automobile

biology‚ cell theory is a scientific theory that describes the properties of cells‚ which are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction. The initial development of the theory‚ during the mid-17th century‚ was made possible by advances in microscopy; the study of cells is called cell biology. Cell theory is one of the foundations of biology.The observations of Hooke‚ Leeuwenhoek‚ Schleiden‚ Schwann‚ Virchow‚ and others led to the development of the cell theory

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

The more tasks a driver is given‚ the worse they do. Cell phone usage while driving removes the main task people should be focusing on – driving. Cell phone use replaces driving with what the person is talking about‚ which endangers someone and the others on the road with them

Are cell phones dangerous? Cell phones are a wonderful thing. You can talk. Take pictures. Listen to music. Converse over email or text messaging‚ and browse the Internet among a handful of other things. I love to use my cell phone and actually use it more then any other phone at the office or at home. However‚ I use it with immense concern. I have concern about the use of the phone causing health issues‚ like cancer and brain tumors over time. Are these concerns warranted? I have studied technology

pluripotent stem (IPS) cells differ from those currently in place for human embryonic stem (ES) cells. An IPS cell is created artificially from skin‚ fat and fibroblasts by reprogramming patient ’s own cells. Scientists believe IPS cells to be a promising source for treating diseases. An ES cell is created by destroying an embryo. Other scientists think ES cells will also be a promising source because it is composed of your own DNA‚ so the immune system won ’t reject the cell. While scientists would
