Robert Hooke first looked at a thin slice of cork in 1665; he saw "a lot of little boxes." These little boxes first reminded of the little rooms monks lived in‚ so he called them cells. Hooke observed the same pattern in the stems and roots of carrots and other plants. What Hooke still did not know‚ however‚ was that cells are the basic units of living things. Ten years later‚ the Dutch scientist Anton van Leeuwenhoek focused a microscope on what seemed to be clear pond water and discovered a wondrous

Eukaryotic Cell Division Cells must continually grow and divide in order for an organism to grow‚ maintain its structure‚ and reproduce. Cell division involves the replication‚ or copying‚ of the complete set of hereditary information. It also involves the equal distribution of the genetic material in the resulting cells. The hereditary information of organisms is contained in large molecules called deoxyribonucleic acid‚ DNA. Objectives Upon completion of this laboratory

Top Ten Reasons To Be A Doctor: 10. Independence - No matter what happens on the larger public policy and procedure scale with guidelines and mandates‚ when it comes to decisions regarding a patient’s care‚ it will always be the one-on-one interaction between the patient and the doctor that will ultimately decide the best approach for care for an individual patient. 9. Respect - The title "Doctor of Medicine" still carries weight in our society. With that respect‚ however‚ comes significant

Biology textbook- pg. 80 3) Distinguish between the autotrophic and heterotrophic nature of plants and animals. Animals have heterotrophic cells; hence‚ they live off nutrients of other species by eating. Most plants have autotrophic cells‚ which allow them to generate their own food with photosynthesis. 4) Explain the following statement: ‘All living things depend on plants’. As animals are heterotrophs‚ they need to eat other species to survive. If mammals only depended on other mammals‚ there

Meiosis was discovered and described for the first time in sea urchin eggs in 1876 by the German biologist Oscar Hertwig. It was described again in 1883‚ at the level of chromosomes‚ by the Belgian zoologist Edouard Van Beneden‚ in Ascaris worms’ eggs. The significance of meiosis for reproduction and inheritance‚ however‚ was described only in 1890 by German biologist August Weismann‚ who noted that two cell divisions were necessary to transform one diploid cell into four haploid cells if the number

ONION PRODUCTION IN A GREENHOUSE GREENHOUSE TECHNOLOGY Greenhouse is a structure that allows controls of certain environmental parameters for purposes of providing optimum conditions for the growth of a targeted crop. The greenhouse production is a highly specialized and intensive form of agriculture as Compared to field crop agriculture. The greenhouse production is more suited to vegetables‚ flowers; fruit a can also be used as a nursery for all vegetable crops‚ because of their short life-span

Molecule of an Onion In an Aqueous Solution By: Introduction DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) is found in every living organism. It provides the information and instructions to build and regulate cells in organisms. The information it contains is used when organisms are being reproduced. It is made up of two polynucleotide chains known as DNA strands. Within the two chains there are four nucleotide units: adenine‚ thymine‚ cytosine‚ and guanine. Materials and Methods An onion was cut into pieces

Such as cutting‚ folding‚ splicing and other processes. -How do proteins achieve their final conformation? - A protein achieves its final conformation by spontaneously folding. All the information that the protein needs as to how to fold is already located
