Meiosis and the Cell Cycle . header Purpose: This activity is designed to familiarize you with the phases of mitosis and meiosis and compare these processes in a comparison chart. This activity will be three parts. For parts I and II‚ please scan your labeled work. Preparation: There is no preparation or materials needed for this activity. You will simply need access to a scanner to submit your work. Procedure Part 1: For this portion of the laboratory‚ please sketch a cell with 4 chromosomes

higher concentration (vinegar)‚ to an area of lower concentration (the egg). 4. Consider how lettuce or spinach placed in water becomes firm and crisp. Use what you have learned about cell membranes to explain this observation. Lettuce and spinach become firm and crisp when placed in water because the cells absorb the water‚ and in turn makes the lettuce/spinach bloated with water. 5. If you were to continue this experiment by removing the egg from the water and covering it in syrup‚ what

permeability of the cell membrane. Introduction Located within the vacuole of beetroot cells is a red pigment call Betalains. Typically these pigments are contained within the cell vacuole by the tonoplast (vacuole membrane)‚ however When beetroot is heated these red pigments escape the vacuole. This experiment aims to explore the effect of temperature on the permeability of the cell membranes (i.e. Tonoplast). ‘The cell surface membrane is the plasma membrane that surrounds cells and forms the

Cell Size Control David A Guertin‚ Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research‚ Cambridge‚ Massachusetts‚ USA David M Sabatini‚ Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research‚ Cambridge‚ Massachusetts‚ USA Growth in biological systems is defined as the accumulation of mass‚ which leads to an increase in size. In this article‚ we discuss how cells‚ organs‚ and organisms normally control growth‚ and how deregulated growth can lead to a variety of pathological conditions. Introductory article Article

1. How does a cell become differentiated? A cell becomes differentiated by using only the DNA that it needs. 2. Give an example of 2 differentiated cells. Two examples of differentiated cells are lysosomes and mitochondria. Lysosomes are small so they can move throughout the cell effectively. Mitochondria have a lot of surface area to make more energy 3. (Essay) What does it mean to be specialized? Explain how the structure of the cell determines its function. Give at least 3 examples. Being specialized

Cell Transportation Lab Eggs are a great example of a cell. Underneath the hard shell is a thin membrane that is just like the cell membranes in your cells. There are microscopic pores in the membrane that allow substances to move in and out of the cell. Way Cool! Recall that the function of the cell membrane is to control the internal balance of the cell. It helps to maintain homeostasis. In this lab you will use vinegar‚ an acid‚ to dissolve the shell off of the egg to expose the membrane

osmosis in relation to three onion cells and the impact on the cells structure. A small square of a red onion skin (membrane) was observed under a microscope at high power (X40) magnification. The observation showed a large number of onion cells. The structure of one onion cell had a general rectangular shape with a developed cell wall‚ which gives the rectangular shape to the cell and a cell membrane just beneath it. The observation under the microscope of a cell of an onion skin soaked for 15

Sickle cell disease is present usually in those of African or Mediterranean descent (Saladin 2007). About 1.3% of African Americans have sickle cell (Saladin‚ 2007). Sickle cell was originated in Africa where malaria was killing a vast number of people (Saladin‚ 2007). The sickle cell hemoglobin is not able to be digested by the parasites that cause malaria‚ making those with sickle cell resistant to malaria (Saladin‚ 2007).

bacteria’s contents intact. The Cell Membrane: Is a phospholipid bilayer that completely surrounds a bacterial cell. Cell membrane acts as a highly selective barrier. This barrier prevents materials from diffusing into and out of the cell. This allows the cell to take up chemicals and nutrients needed for survival while keeping the cell components separated from the environment. The fluid and all its dissolved or suspended particles that can be found within a bacterial cell are called the Cytoplasm.
