ASSIGNMENT - Why is a cell microscopic? By Lachlan Bryant This research assignment will discuss why cells are usually microscopic in size‚ given that they need to be able to exchange material with their surrounding environment. The cell is highly organised with many functional units or organelles (Spurger).A membrane is a fluid mosaic which consists of proteins‚ lipids and carbohydrates which seperates the cell from it’s surrounding environment or subdivides a cell into specialised regions or

Sickle Cell Sickle Cell was discovered in the United states although it originated in Africa . The sickle cell disease (SCD) describes traits of an inherited red blood cell disorder‚ having SCD means you have abnormal hemoglobin‚ called hemoglobin S or sickle hemoglobin‚ in your red blood cells. What is hemoglobin u might ask?! Well Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that is suppose to carry oxygen throughout the body. But when a sickle cell trait is “Inherited” it could only mean that

Seeding cells into needled felt scaffolds for tissue engineering applications SUMMARY: Tissue engineering methods are under development that will enable the repair or replacement of a variety of tissues‚ including articular cartilage and bone. To engineer functional tissue it is necessary that scaffolds initially be seeded with a large number of cells distributed evenly throughout the scaffold structure. It previously has been shown that‚ compared to static seeding conditions‚ seeding scaffolds

can’t imagine how life would be without cell phones. Very few people don’t comprehend how much that would affect us. At one point in life people used to mail each other letters to get messages back and forth from one person to another. In this current century those methods has been added to the cell phones. Research Question: How have cell phones changed us socially? How have cell phones impact our lives? Source: South University Online This article showed how cell phones impacted our lives

Significance * The cell phone has become a common product. Almost everyone has a cell phone‚ and they have only been around 35 years and popular for about 15. Yet‚ they have become an indispensable part of daily life. It ’s hard imagining what many would do without them. Function * A cell phone ’s basic function is to make and receive calls from anywhere you have service. Even though they can do more‚ calling is their main function. This function enables a person to make or receive a call

Stem cells -are biological cells found in all multi cellularorganisms‚ that can divide (throughmitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. In mammals‚ there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells‚ which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts‚ and adult stem cells‚ which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms‚ stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body‚ replenishing

Cell Phones Cell phones have brought a whole new meaning to the word multitasking. You can use the phone while waiting on the bus talking to your friend‚ cooking dinner‚ shopping‚ or even driving in a car all though you should not use your phone in your car. Reality is that these cell phones have made the world a better place and keeps improving it. Although some argue that cell phones have a negative effect on our society‚ cell phones actually provide humans with everything they need. Cell
