Cell Structure I. Cell History A. Anton Leewenhock (1600s) - first person to observe cells - in pond water‚ using a homemade microscope B. Robert Hooke (1665) - observed many kinds of animal tissue under a microscope - concludes that all animals are made up of cells C. Schwann (1868) - observed many kinds of animal tissue - concludes that all animals are made up of cells D. Schleiden (1869) - observed many kinds of plant tissue - concludes that all plants are made up of cells E. Cell
Premium Cell Organelle
Explain. Every cell contains organelles‚ the structures that carry out their specific functions. Organelles are also known as cell compartments. Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound compartments in which specific metabolic activities takes place. The organelles of the prokaryotes are not membrane bound and are simpler structures. Just like organs‚ each organelle contributes in its own way to help the cell function well as a whole. The organelles are endoplasmic reticulum‚ golgi apparatus‚ mitochondrian

Alzheimer’s General Summary Alzheimer’s is a dementing illness (causes loss of mental functions like memory or thought)‚ and between 60 and 80% of all dementing illness is produced by Alzheimer’s‚ making it the most common form of dementia in older people. Alzheimer’s first appears in people after the age of 60‚ and in all individuals over the age of 65‚ an estimated 5% have the disease. Just like dementia in general‚ the odds of getting Alzheimer’s doubles every five years after 65 years of age

USE OF ONION ROOT TIPS FOR MITOTIC DIVISION OBSERVATIONS Introduction The zone of cell division on the onion root tip is a great place to observe mitotic cell divisions. Through the observation and comparison of different regions of the root tip‚ the duration of mitotic stages and mitotic indexes are determined for the various divisions of the root tip. Methods Each group used a compound microscope to analyze the different sections of the onion root tip. The root tip was visually

DETAILED DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EUKARYOTIC AND PROKARYOTIC CELLS Cells are divided into two categories namely the Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. These two have varying differences between them. Speaking in simple cell biology words‚ prokaryotes are primitive‚ simple organisms that lack membranous cell organelles. The opposite of this are eukaryotes‚ which are advanced and complex organisms having membrane bound cell organelles. Seemingly simple in structure and markedly different from eukaryote and

Apicomplexa is a phylum made up almost entirely of parasites. Apicomplexans are distinguished by their unique method of entering host cells. Apicomplexans are a monophyletic group composed entirely of parasitic species. This species is the best known and probably the largest of parasitic protists. There are about 4‚000 known species‚ but this is certainly just an understatement of the actual number. Of the described species seven genera infect humans; these include the following: Plasmodium‚ Babesia
