Learning about Cells. First thing I want to show you is two beautiful pictures of a Cell. Imagine all of this is in something so small we cannot see it with our naked eyes. About 10‚000 average-sized human cells can fit on the head of a pin. There are a few exceptions‚ but the average cell is very tiny. Here are a few beautiful examples of a cell structure to kind of give you an idea of its beauty‚ and how they fit together. Plasma Membrane (cell membrane) First we are going to learn about

cells‚ one difference lies in the positioning of the nucleus within the cell. Due to the central vacuole in a plant cell‚ the nucleus is usually not located in the center of the cell; rather‚ it is usually crowded nearer the plasma membrane. In most animal cells‚ however‚ the nucleus is located in the center of the cell‚ as this position is ideal in the process of mitosis‚ and there is no large central vacuole located in animal cells. The nucleus contains the genes which control the entire cell‚ and

Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria but Prokaryotic cells do not. Prokaryotic cells are usually unicellular and Eukaryotic cells are usually multicellular. Also Eukaryotic cells are larger than Prokaryotic cells. Both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cell have vacuoles. Both cells have vesicles as well. Prokaryotic Cell Eukaryotic Cell The division amongst prokaryotes and eukaryotes is considered to be the most significant difference among groups of organisms. Eukaryotic cells contain

Different Parts of a Plant Cell Plant cells are classified into three types‚ based on the structure and function‚ viz. parenchyma‚ collenchyma and sclerenchyma. The parenchyma cells are living‚ thin-walled and undergo repeated cell division for growth of the plant. They are mostly present in the leaf epidermis‚ stem pith‚ root and fruit pulp. Mature collenchyma cells are living‚ and provide stretchable support to the plant. Lastly‚ sclerenchyma cells (e.g. fiber cells) are hard‚ non-living and

Plant Cell Plant cells have many different parts that are need to work together and function as a whole. These parts are the cell membrane which can be compared to a "Condom" due to the fact that is a very thin protective layer that lets certain substances to pass through. Cell wall is a thicker rougher membrane‚ which gives the plant most of its structure and support‚ the cell wall also bond with other cell walls to form the structure of the plant. Centrosome may be also referred to as the
Premium Cell Endoplasmic reticulum Organelle
This organelle is like a stomach it breaks down sugars‚ fats‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. Lysosomes also kill the bacteria and get rid of leftover cellular waste. These are also in charge of repairing the plasma membrane and cell signaling. Chloroplast: This is the food producer in the cell. This organelle is only found in plant‚ photosynthesis

Roles of microbes in DNA research Activities of microorganisms are very important to almost every sector of concern to mankind. From a perusal of the foregoing topics‚ one can find applications (uses) of microorganisms to agriculture‚ forestry‚ food‚ industry‚ medicine‚ and environment. The scope and significance of microbiology has enlarged manifold‚ particularly when importance of environment was realised globally and the word environment was used in a much wider sense in terms of totality to

The Nucleus: In the kingdom the nucleus is the king. The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle found in the center of the cell that contains all of the genetic information‚ and DNA and controls the rest of the cell. To the kingdom the nucleus is the king because of how he controls the kingdom and is responsible for the wealth of the town through his actions. Additionally not all cells have a nucleus. Just as not all kingdoms have a king. The Nuclear Envelope: The nuclear envelope is similar to
