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

The principles of John Von Neumann Model using a block diagram. John von Neumann Block Diagram John von Neumann Block Diagram John von Neumann is known as “The Father of the Computer” or subsequently as the “von Neumann architecture”. The main principles of John von Neumann were he devised a concept for computer architecture that remains with us to this day‚ the stored-program concept. The computer should operate completely electronically. An electronic stored-program computer where both

a) Using a human cell of your choice‚ describe how organelles work together to make and secrete a protein (LO1. AC 1.1) An epithelial cell in the thyroid gland‚ called a thyrocyte forms spherical follicles that produce a protein called thyroglobulin. This is a globular protein that has a functional role in metabolism. The protein is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine

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

though a cell is the basic unit of an organism it can be pretty complex inside of one. So why don’t we try and make it a little simpler by comparing it to something we’re all more comfortable with? Take Disneyland for example! Everyone is familiar with Disneyland and how it works. Let’s see just how similar these two can be. First‚ would be the entrance gate. The entrance gate could be our cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid that fills a cell and inside is all the other cell organelles

The cells of the adaptive immune system are special types of leukocytes‚ called lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes‚ B cells and T cells‚ which are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response‚ whereas B cells are involved in the humoral immune response. The surface of each lymphatic cell has receptors that enable them to recognize foreign substances. There are two major subtypes of T cells: the helper T cell and

Cell Fusion Introduction: The fusion of cells is a fundamental biological event that is essential for a variety of developmental and homeostatic processes. The importance of cell-cell fusion during development and disease is displayed in a variety of biological processes including‚ but not limited to‚ fertilization‚ development of tissues‚ the immune response‚ and aspects of tissue regeneration due to stem cells (Chen and Olson‚ 2005). Fertilization‚ which is the fusion of sperm and egg‚

Cells do everything from providing structure and stability to providing energy and a means of reproduction for an organism. There are many professions that have jobs like the organelles in a cell. One example is a Prison. A prison is a clear representation of a cell because all the organelles have a function that is tantamount to a prison. Also it is logical because each function have a function that relates to the jobs found in a prison. The Nucleus in a cell controls everything in the cell

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.
