Review Chapter 4 BB Notes Cells Under the Microscope Cells are microscopic in size. Although a light microscope allows you to see cells‚ it cannot make out the detail that an electron microscope can. The overall size of a cell is regulated by the surface-area-to-volume ratio. 4.2 The Plasma Membrane The plasma membrane of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes is a phospholipid bilayer. The phospholipid bilayer regulates the passage of molecules and ions into and out of the cell. The fluid-mosaic model

Cell Division‚ Heredity‚ and Rcolution Practice Questions Cell Division An organism is heterozygous at two gene loci on different chromosomes. Explain how these alleles are transmitted by the process of mitosis to daughter cells. After mitosis the parent cell’s genome is dividedninto two daughter cells. In most eukaryotes‚ the nuclear envelope that separates the DNA from the cytoplasm disassembles. The chromosomes align themselves in a line spanning the cell. As the cell elongates‚ corresponding

The Onion Cell Lab Background: Onion tissue provides excellent cells to study under the microscope. The main cell structures are easy to see when viewed with the microscope at medium power. For example‚ you will observe a large circular nucleus in each cell‚ which contains the genetic material for the cell. In each nucleus‚ are round bodies called nucleoli. The nucleolus is an organelle‚ which synthesizes small bodies called ribosomes. Ribosomes are so small you cannot see them with the light microscope

Animal and plant cells are made from millions of tiny cells‚ so small that we are unable to see them with our naked eye. Animals and plants have many features in common within a cell such as a cell membrane‚ cytoplasm‚ mitochondria‚ ribosomes and the nucleus. Plant cells also have a cell wall‚ chloroplasts

Cell cycle checkpoints are control mechanisms in eukaryotic cells which ensure proper division of the cell. The Cell Cycle consists of three checkpoints. These checkpoints are the G1 checkpoint‚ the G2 checkpoint‚ and the M checkpoint. These checkpoints all have different functions. Cells have many different mechanisms to restrict cell division‚ repair DNA damage‚ and prevent the development of cancer. Cancers are formed as cells acquire a series of mutations‚ or changes in DNA‚ that make them divide

The cell is the basic unit of all life. All living things-- tigers‚ trees‚ elephants‚ and men-- are made up of cells. A cell is alive-- as alive as you are. It breathes‚ takes in food‚ and gets rid of waste. It grows and reproduces‚ or creates one of its own kind. (Garrod 36) Most cells reproduce by dividing‚ so that there are two cells where there once was one. (Akkas 78) Every living thing is made up of one or more cells‚ and each of these cells was produced by an already existing cell. New cells

Short daily writing assignments can build students’ writing fluency and make writing a more motivating activity. Have the student self-monitor and graph his/her progress‚ which will increase his/her motivation and writing fluency as well. For example‚ have the student count up the number of words he/she has written in the daily journal entry (whether spelled correctly or not) and have him/her record.
