    Chapter One: The Concept of Stress Adaptation 1. How are the body’s physiological defenses affected when under sustained stress? Why? While under sustained stress the body’s physiological defenses are affected in many ways. For example‚ the hypothalamus responds to sustained stress by stimulating the pituitary gland to release a number of different hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone‚ vasopressin‚ growth hormone‚ thyrotropic hormone‚ and gonadotropins. As a result of the release of these

    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

    CHAPTER 12- THE CELL CYCLE I. Concept 12.1- Cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells A. Overview 1) The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells or cell division. 2) The cell division process is an integral part of the cell cycle‚ the life of a cell from the time it is first formed from a dividing parent cell until its own division into two cells. B. Cellular Organization of the Genetic Material 1) A cell’s endowment of DNA‚ its genetic

    Animal Cells Vs. Plant Cells     There are quite a few similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. Whether it be the internal parts of the cells‚ or the processes they go through. They also have differences in shape and sometimes size. These are only a few examples of similarities and differences between the two different cells. To begin with‚ both animal and plant cells are eukaryotic cells. This means that both cells have the same internal features‚ such as a cell membrane‚ a

    Cell Structure - Cell Organelles 1. What is cell theory? Cell theory asserts that the cell is the constituent unit of living beings. Before the discovery of the cell‚ it was not recognized that living beings were made of building blocks like cells. The cell theory is one of the basic theories of Biology. 2. Are there living beings without cells? Viruses are considered the only living beings that do not have cells. Viruses are constituted by genetic material (DNA or RNA) enwrapped by a protein

    increase in size as their cells grow and divide. Almost all cells complete a full cell cycle that includes interphase and cell division. In interphase‚ cells serve their specialized functions‚ grow‚ and copy their genetic material. Mitosis is the first stage of cell division‚ in which the copied chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. Then in cytokinesis the cell divides into two daughter cells. If no mutations or errors occur‚ the genetic material in each daughter cell is identical to what was
