Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to generate new cells of any kind during early life and growth. There are about 200 different types of cells in the body; such as muscle‚ skin and brain cells. Most of these cells have to be repaired or replaced once in a while. For example our taste buds are replaced every 10 days‚ skin cells every couple of weeks and liver cells every 300-500 days. Stem cells serve as an internal repair system dividing essentially without limit to replenish

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

are made up of? If you answered cells‚ then you’d be correct. A cell is the smallest thing that can be alive‚ and all living things are made of cells! Cells are made of tiny organelles that work together to help the cells live‚ just like organs in our body keep us alive. You must also remember that there are two types of cells. Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic. The differences are simple; Eukaryotic cells are more complex and have more organelles while Prokaryotic cells are simple and have little organelles

differences between cancer cells and normal cell. Some of the differences are well known ‚where as others have only been recently discovered and are less well understood.You may be interested in how cancer cells are different as you are coping with your own cancer or of a loved one. For many researchers understanding how does cancer cells function differently from normal cells foundation for developing treatments designed to rid the body of cancer cells without damaging normal cells.

functions of the main cell components of the body cell. The cell membrane : is something that lets some things in and some things out of the cell. It is an outer cover for the cell. If the cell membrane was non existences the cell would spill all over the place. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell‚ while keeping other substances out. It is composed of a thin‚ double-layered sheet of lipids‚ around the Cell and is a protective

01) The Cell Structure and function Abstract In this lab the structures of various cells were viewed through a compound microscope. The bacteria in yogurt was viewed a long with a slice of potato‚ and a thin skin of red onion. The potato was dyed with iodine while the red onion was dyed with methane blue. The students had to assemble the first three slides. Two more slides were provided these are the yeast and protozoa cells. Those two are also viewed

A solar cell (also called photovoltaic cell or photoelectric cell) is a solid state electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Assemblies of cells used to make solar modules which are used to capture energy from sunlight‚ are known as solar panels. The energy generated from these solar modules‚ referred to as solar power‚ is an example of solar energy. Photovoltaics is the field of technology and research related to the practical

are cells so small? Would it be more efficient if everyone were just made up of one or two huge cells? A source of energy and molecules are required by all living organisms‚ which means that the amount of the cell that is able to receive molecules is important. The group’s hypothesis was that “cells are small because small cells have a larger surface area to volume ratio”‚ which is important because a larger surface area allows for more molecules to diffuse at one time. The group created cells made
