Normal cells undergo cell division in an orderly process known as the cell cycle. In this process‚ normal cells send chemical signals to pass between neighboring cells. This keeps the rate of cell division equal to the rate of cell death. Cancer cells break free from normal constraints and follows it’s own pattern of cell division. Cancer cells divide much more often than normal cells which produces a mass of cells‚ also called a tumor. Proto-oncogenes makes proteins that encourage cell division

Abstract This experiment’s ultimate goal is to find the water potential of the potato cell. This was achieved through placing potato cores in different concentrations of sucrose (0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%‚ 2.0%‚ 3.0% and 4.0%) solution and to observe how much water was gained or lost through osmosis to reach a prediction of the concentration within the potato cell. The results displayed that the concentration of sucrose within the potato cell is 1.7% and that as the amount of sucrose is increased in

Is Cell Phone Radiation Really Harmful? With sixty percent of the world’s population using cell phones‚ recent concern has risen from the medical front concerning the harmful effects of cell phone use. All scientific research has concluded that mobile phones do produce RF energy and emit electromagnetic radiation. Studies have also concluded that high levels of RF energy can be harmful to human health. However‚ all scientific studies have not agreed if the levels of RF energy emitted from modern

Diffusion in Cells Isabel Zak Question: How does the size of a cell affect the distribution of chemicals throughout the cell? Hypothesis: The larger the cell is‚ the more difficult it will be for the chemicals to reach the centre of the cell‚ and diffuse throughout it. This is because there will be a higher surface-area to volume ratio in the larger cells‚ making the centre of the cells further away from the surface. Therefore‚ when dipped in sodium hydroxide‚ the larger cells will not be

Stem cells are an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism that is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type‚ and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation. The body is not able to produce new neurons to repair spinal cords injuries‚ such as those that cause paralysis. Because of this‚ there is no way for doctors to restore movement to paralyzed people. Stem cells may be the perfect solution to that problem. Researchers have found that implants

(cheek) cell under a light microscope. The stain methods I am going to use are iodine for my onion cell and methylene blue for my cheek cell. Introduction All animals and plants are made up of cells. 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

History of Cell Theory As we all probably know today‚ every single living being is made up by cells the building blocks of life. As much as we would like to take this fact for granted‚ we cannot help but acknowledge and remember the works and discoveries of earlier scientists which all contributed to our today’s understanding of the cell theory. The cell theory being; all living things are composed of one or more cells‚ cells are organisms’ basic units of structure and function‚ and cells only come
