A solar cell (also called photovoltaic cell or photoelectric cell) is a solid state electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Assemblies of cells used to make solar modules which are used to capture energy from sunlight‚ are known as solar panels. The energy generated from these solar modules‚ referred to as solar power‚ is an example of solar energy. Photovoltaics is the field of technology and research related to the practical

Prokaryotic Cell Structure Bacterial Cell Structure Mariana Ruiz Villarreal/Wikimedia Commons Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that are the earliest and most primitive forms of life on earth. As organized in the Three Domain System‚ prokaryotes include bacteria and archaeans. Prokaryotes are able to live and thrive in various types of environments including extreme habitats such as hydrothermal vents‚ hot springs‚ swamps‚ wetlands‚ and the guts of animals.

Cell Reproduction Eric Gonzalez Strayer University Week 4 Lab Professor Lynn Roginsky 22 Jul 11 Cell Reproduction The goal of this week’s lab is to explore the effects cancerous cells can have on tissue in the lungs‚ stomach‚ and ovaries. Using a microscope and slideshow and based on readings in the lab the following are answers to questions asked in the experiment. Based on the data gathered from observation differences in normal cells and cancerous ones have revealed themselves. Most

changes is the invention of cell phones. Have you ever imagined the world without the use of cell phones? Cells phones allow people to communicate with each other anywhere in the world no matter what time it may be. The idea of cell phones is not new to the human race; it primarily started in the year of 1947 when it was used mainly for military operations. It was a man by the name of Doctor Martin Cooper who invented the first cell phone on April 3‚ 1973. The invention of cell phones has completely changed

Blood Cells Leukocytes (WBC’s) Leukocytes also known as white blood cells (WBCs) are cells which play a defensive roll in the body against injury and infection. They migrate towards tissues where they are needed and become functional performing various activities. WBCs can be divided into 2 groups: Polymorphonuclear granulocytes and mononuclear agranulocytes. Both types are spherical while suspended in blood plasma but when they invade tissues after leaving the blood vessels they become amoeboid

Cell division consists of two processes: mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis— division of the nucleus and its chromosomes— is divided into five phases:prophase‚ prometaphase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ and telophase. Mitosis is followed by cytokinesis‚ when the cytoplasm splits to form two separate daughter cells. The cytoplasm of a cell in late interphase contains two centrosomes‚ each of which may contain a pair of centrioles. In the nucleus‚ the chromosomeshave been replicated during S phase‚ but are

Recent studies of stem cells have played are very important because they show promise in helping man solve or at least grasp the solution to the diseases that have haunted him since his early days of conscious. The idea of stem cells is kind of a simple idea. This brings us to the first promise‚ not only are stem cells able to be taken from the human body‚ but scientists are now able to grow these cells in labs. The most worried over part is that when obtaining the cells‚ it doesn’t always
