Cells and Movement of Substances All living things are formed by cells‚ the structure of these cells varying depending on their function. Animal and plant cells have common features such as a nucleus‚ cytoplasm and cell membrane. Dissolved substances pass into and out of cells by diffusion Diffusion Diffusion definition: Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. Dissolved

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

Cell Membrane The Cell Membrane- The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell; the cell membrane is made up of phospholipids‚ proteins and carbohydrates. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell allowing certain substances into the cell‚ while keeping other substances out. The phospholipids form a thin‚ flexible sheet while the proteins float in the phospholipid sheet like an ice berg‚ and the carbohydrates extend out from the

In Crash Course video number four you learn animal cells and how they operate more like a city. Hank calls this city Eukaryopolis- The city of animal cells. He also goes over what each part of the cell and how the animal cells are responsible for different things that happen in our body. The very start of video starts off comical by showing you the difference between what an animal is and is not. Then it goes on to explain that why a eukaryotic because they have a “true kernel‚ meaning good nucleus

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

Photosynthesis: Plant cells vs. Solar Cells Chevon Allen 01/23/2010 SCI-115 Professor Garcia Photosynthesis and the semiconductor-based solar cell are very similar process with different ways of reaching the same goal. In photosynthesis‚ plant cells harness the solar energy of the sun with carbon dioxide to transform water molecules into hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ and electrons. Just like photosynthesis‚ Semi conductor based solar cells harness the solar energy of the sun for the same purposes

To do so‚ it is essential to

Animal Cell Song I’m here to talk to you about animal cells. They are made up of many organelles. Chromosome‚ nucleus‚ those are a few They need them to live like me and you. Well we’ll start with the nucleus the “command center.” It’s the brain of the cell and keeps it away from danger. It’s a safe haven for the chromosomes. They store DNA like our own. The precious DNA carries our genes. Genes tell the cell what to do like info. machines. Now let’s talk about the mitochondrion
