The Human Egg Cell. The human egg cell is also known as the ovum. With a spherical structure it is the largest cell in the human body measuring about 0.2mm in diameter. The function of the ovum is to reproduce‚ when fertilized by the sperm cell the ovum is capable of creating a new living organism. The size and shape of the ovum gives it space to store and create nutrients (see fig 3) (Boyle and Senior 2008) The ovum is bounded by the egg follicles of the ovaries and is produced by primitive germ

Exercise 13 MITOSIS: REPLICATION OF EUKARYOTIC CELLS ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. a. Mitosis and cytokinesis are often referred to collectively as "cellular division." Why are they more accurately called cellular replication? The result of mitosis is production of two cells (replicates) identical to the parent cell. The genetic material is replicated rather than divided. b. Does the cell cycle have a beginning and an end? The organization of our study of cellular events indicates a beginning and

Lab 2: Animal and Plant Cells Purpose: To examine the differences between single cell and multi cell organisms in terms of Animal and Plant cells. Question: What are the differences between multi and single celled plant and animal organisms? Prediction: Spirogyra Cell: The parts of the spirogyra cell that will be visible under the microscope will be; cell wall‚ cell membrane‚ nucleus‚ chloroplasts‚ vacuole and cytoplasm. Banana Cell: The parts of the banana cell that will be visible under

be formed so cell division is prevented. During telophase taxol causes the reversal of prophase events such as the chromosomes decondense‚ spindle disassembly‚ nuclear envelope reformation‚ the Golgi apparatus and E.R. reform and the nucleus also reforms. Cytokinesis effects are that the cell still divides for animal cells a cleavage furrow made of actin and myosin II constricts the middle of the cell and in plants the phragmoplast forms at the equator of the spindles where a new cell wall forms

Epidermis Cells Aim: To see if rhubarb changes when it is placed in solutions of different concentrations. Introduction: "Plasmolysis in Rhubarb Epidermis Cells" is an experiment to see whether or not rhubarb changed its cell structure when placed within different types or solutions. "A single layer of plant cell is placed on a micrscope slide and either distilled water or 5% NaCl solution is added to the cells. Osmosis will occur resulting in either turgid cells or plasmolysed cells." (www

thing that we have in common would be cells. In fact every living thing is composed of cells: plants‚ animals‚ bacteria etc. Cells exist in different shapes and sizes. They also differ depending on the function they have in an organism. To make things simpler‚ cells are categorized into two vast groups: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells. These two types of cells are different from each other while still sharing some similarities. Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells perform the same functions in the same
