though a cell is the basic unit of an organism it can be pretty complex inside of one. So why don’t we try and make it a little simpler by comparing it to something we’re all more comfortable with? Take Disneyland for example! Everyone is familiar with Disneyland and how it works. Let’s see just how similar these two can be. First‚ would be the entrance gate. The entrance gate could be our cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid that fills a cell and inside is all the other cell organelles

The cells of the adaptive immune system are special types of leukocytes‚ called lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes‚ B cells and T cells‚ which are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response‚ whereas B cells are involved in the humoral immune response. The surface of each lymphatic cell has receptors that enable them to recognize foreign substances. There are two major subtypes of T cells: the helper T cell and

Cells do everything from providing structure and stability to providing energy and a means of reproduction for an organism. There are many professions that have jobs like the organelles in a cell. One example is a Prison. A prison is a clear representation of a cell because all the organelles have a function that is tantamount to a prison. Also it is logical because each function have a function that relates to the jobs found in a prison. The Nucleus in a cell controls everything in the cell

Cell Cycle Definition- The process of the cell to divide into new cells. Interphase Description- the phase that occurs before cell division‚ the preparation for cell divisions Stages: G1- Rapid growth of the cell‚ metabolic activity. S- Synthesis‚ DNA replication. G2- Getting ready for cell division. Centrioles replicate Mitosis and Cell Division Function- To grow repair and maintain the cells in the body along with the reproduction of those cells. Results- Two identical daughter

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

Cell Specialisation All cells are designed to perform a particular job within an organism‚ that is‚ to sustain life. Cells can become specialized to perform a particular function within an organism‚ usually as part of a larger tissue consisting of many of the same cells working together for example muscle cells. The cells combine together for a common purpose. All organisms will contain specialised cells. There are hundreds of types of specialised cells. Below is listed some of the major ones

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
