Chapter-8 Cell: The Unit Of Life What is a cell? Cell is the basic or fundamental structural and functional unit of an organism. What is cell biology? The branch of biology that deals with the study of cell structure and function is called cell biology. DISCOVERIES; Who discovered cell? Robert Hooke observed a live cell in 1665. He observed the cell(actually the cell walls) in the slice of cork under his compound microscope ‚coined the term cell‚ recorded his observations in micrographic

The Benefits of Exercise If you want to feel better‚ live longer and have more energy then you should consider the health benefits of exercise. The health benefits of exercise do not discriminate against age‚ sex‚ race or religion. They are there for the taking if a person is willing to put forth the effort. Exercise can minimize or in some cases even help in eliminating certain health issues or risks such as high blood pressure‚ obesity‚ diabetes‚ poor circulation‚ high cholesterol‚ fatigue‚ decreased

Cell Theory In biology‚ cell theory is a scientific theory that describes the properties of cells‚ the basic unit of structure in every living thing. The initial development of the theory‚ during the mid-17th century‚ was made possible by advances in microscopy; the study of cells is called cell biology. Cell theory states that new cells are formed from pre-existing cells‚ and that the cell is a fundamental unit of structure‚ function and organization in all living organisms. It is one of the

oxidized and thus causes reduction ELECTROCHEMISTRY INVOLVES TWO MAIN TYPES OF PROCESSES: A. Galvanic (voltaic) cells – which are spontaneous chemical reactions (battery) B. Electrolytic cells – which are non-spontaneous and require external e− source (DC power source) C. BOTH of these fit into the category entitled Electrochemical cells GALVANIC CELLS Parts of the voltaic or galvanic cell: o Anode--the electrode where oxidation occurs. After a period of time‚ the anode may appear to become smaller

Plan | I. Neurons/nerve cells A neuron is a cell specialized to conduct electrochemical impulses called nerve impulses or action potentials. Neuron is the main cellular component of the nervous system‚ a specialized type of cell that integrates electrochemical activity of the other neurons that are connected to it and that propagates that integrated activity to other neurons. They are the basic information processing structures in the CNS. There

8 themes of biology relating to the cell membrane Science as a process: Science is a process which encompasses many methods in order to reach a final conclusion. This relates to the cell membrane because it carries out many processes to reach a final product. For example‚ the cell membrane forms a barrier between the inside of the cell and the outside‚ so that the chemical environments on the two sides can be different. The cell controls those differences to optimize the working of the organelles

Heart Questions: 1. What do you notice about the sizes of the four chambers? Annotate the measurements you have recorded onto your drawing. The ventricles are much bigger than the atria and the left ventricle is bigger than the right ventricle. Left atrium wall: 0.4cm Left ventricle wall: 1.4 cm Right atrium wall: 0.2 cm Right ventricle wall: 0.6 cm 2. The left ventricle has a much thinker wall than the right ventricle; explain why this is. The left ventricle has a much thicker wall
