Normal cell division meiosis and gamete production via meiosis. Explain why the process of mitosis and meiosis are both important to a living organism. When would an organism need to undergo the process of mitosis? Meiosis? What would happen if meiosis did not occur? Mitosis is the cell process of growth and division whereas meiosis is the process of developing reproductive cells. The sperm and egg are critical components for almost all living organisms. Every living organism begins with one

plasma membrane ( Lacerda L.2011) Allowing some molecules enter and exit the cell membrane‚ to create a balance in concentration inside and outside of the cell‚ by doing so the cell often become hypotonic‚ where the concentration outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside the cell‚ therefore causing the swelling of that cell. When cell was placed the the deionized water environment‚ hypothesis was made that the cell will become hypotonic and swell up as the time increased. “Diffusion

Problem: How do solutions of various salt concentrations influence osmosis in relation to an onion cell? Hypothesis What will happen to the onion cell if it is placed in salt water? What will happen to the onion cell if it is placed in distilled water? If ..the onion cell is placed in salt water then... the cell will shrivel up The

Osmosis of a Potato cell. Hypothesis is that the potato in saltwater is going to show that it will break down the cells of the potato. Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane‚ from a solution of low solute concentration to a solution with high solute concentration‚ up a solute concentration gradient. Net movement of solvent is from the less-concentrated to the more-concentreated.‚ which tends to redure the difference in concentrations. This effect can be countered

Millions and millions of cells must be formed in order for an organism (whether a plant or animal) to be created. That becomes possible through cell division. Cell division happens when all of the DNA of a cell is replicated completely and then that complete replication (called a genome) is separated‚ breaking apart into two daughter cells that are identical to the original cell (Erster 3-4). There are different kinds of division depending on the type of cell involved (Erster 25). However‚ regardless

discovered the endless possibilities of the so called embryonic stem cells. It has been said that these cells have the ability to repair an entire tissue or even create a copy of it. It is also said to be a potential cure for innumerable serious diseases such as the Alzheimer and the Parkinson’s disease. This is why stem cell research should definitely be funded for the enormous impact it can make in the medical field. Stem cell research is perhaps one of the most controversial topics in modern day

require more efficient sources of power. At the forefront of research for these power sources are hydrogen fuel cells. This power source takes in the most abundant element in the universe‚ Hydrogen‚ and yields immense power without combustion or pollution. The three aspects of this scientific breakthrough are the fuel cells‚ hydrogen production‚ and hydrogen storage. Fuel cells are the devices with which Hydrogen is made into electricity. These use a technology much similar to that of something
