Mitosis and meiosis are both important biological processes that happen within eukaryotic cells. These two processes are slightly different from one another‚ but have a lot of similarities. Before each of these processes can be performed‚ the cell first has to go through interphase. Interphase is considered the primer for mitosis or meiosis and consists of: G1‚ S‚ and G2 phases. These phases prepare the cell for either mitosis or meiosis by causing the cell to grow‚ copy the DNA‚ and copy the cell’s

Page 1 of 8 BIOLOGY 12- CELL STRUCTURE & FUNCTION Chapter Notes THE CELL THEORY • Although different living things may be as unlike as a violet and an octopus‚ they are all built in essentially the same way. The most basic similarity is that all living things are composed of one or more cells. This is known as the Cell Theory. • our knowledge of cells is built on work done with microscopes • English scientist Robert Hooke in 1665 first described cells from his observations of cork slices

3/21/2012 Cell Growth & Division Essay Kate Nogler Mr.Lapointe When a living thing grows‚ it produces more cells through a process called cell division. Cell division is necessary for any growing eukaryotic cell structure. Cells divide through a system called the cell cycle. It is a complicated and crucial part of anatomy! Before a cell divides‚ it must grow. However‚ a cell can’t grow forever. Once a cell gets too big‚ it divides itself into two daughter cells. A cell divides because

The cell wall is the tough‚ flexible but sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. It is located outside the cell membrane and provides these cells with structural support and protection. Just as the wall of the factory is for the factory. The wall also is the structure and strength. The cell membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances

Introduction When plant and animal cells are placed in a hypotonic environment‚ osmosis will occur. The structure of these cells determines the response to the difference in gradient‚ whether this be lysis (the explosion of cells due to the sudden increase in water pressure within the cell) in animal cells or turgor pressure (the pressure created by the increase in water pressure within the cell) in plant cells. Turgor pressure prevents further osmosis‚ which causes the water potential outside the
