are made up of? If you answered cells‚ then you’d be correct. A cell is the smallest thing that can be alive‚ and all living things are made of cells! Cells are made of tiny organelles that work together to help the cells live‚ just like organs in our body keep us alive. You must also remember that there are two types of cells. Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic. The differences are simple; Eukaryotic cells are more complex and have more organelles while Prokaryotic cells are simple and have little organelles

animal cell is not visible to the naked eye and is about 10 to 30 micrometers. A micrometer is one one-thousandth of a millimeter. They are so small that it takes a microscope with a magnification of at least 400x to be able to see inside the cell. These cells are what make up the basic units of structure and function in all living things. They carry out our life processes and make it possible for us to function and live. Inside these cells are organelles‚ which are smaller than the cell itself.

differences between cancer cells and normal cell. Some of the differences are well known ‚where as others have only been recently discovered and are less well understood.You may be interested in how cancer cells are different as you are coping with your own cancer or of a loved one. For many researchers understanding how does cancer cells function differently from normal cells foundation for developing treatments designed to rid the body of cancer cells without damaging normal cells. First‚ when it comes

functions of the main cell components of the body cell. The cell membrane : is something that lets some things in and some things out of the cell. It is an outer cover for the cell. If the cell membrane was non existences the cell would spill all over the place. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell‚ while keeping other substances out. It is composed of a thin‚ double-layered sheet of lipids‚ around the Cell and is a protective

tenets of cell theory? • Cells are the basic structural and physiological units of all living organisms. • Cells are both distinct entities and building blocks of more complex organisms. OR • All living organisms are composed of one or more cells‚ Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism‚ and Cells come only from the reproduction of existing cells. OR • All cells come from preexisting cells. •

01) The Cell Structure and function Abstract In this lab the structures of various cells were viewed through a compound microscope. The bacteria in yogurt was viewed a long with a slice of potato‚ and a thin skin of red onion. The potato was dyed with iodine while the red onion was dyed with methane blue. The students had to assemble the first three slides. Two more slides were provided these are the yeast and protozoa cells. Those two are also viewed

are cells so small? Would it be more efficient if everyone were just made up of one or two huge cells? A source of energy and molecules are required by all living organisms‚ which means that the amount of the cell that is able to receive molecules is important. The group’s hypothesis was that “cells are small because small cells have a larger surface area to volume ratio”‚ which is important because a larger surface area allows for more molecules to diffuse at one time. The group created cells made

P1 [pic] Cell membrane - encloses the contents of the cell and regulates the flow of substances into and out of the cell. Mitochondrion - this feature produces a substance called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is the carrier of energy in all cells. Centriole - these two features made of hollow tubules play a key role in cell division. Ribosomes - these small‚ granular features of the cell play a key role in the assembly of proteins. Chromosome - During cell division‚ DNA‚ the

chapter on chemistry. Cells are considered to be the smallest structure that is alive. They are often too small to see without the aid of a microscope. All living organisms are composed of cells. The smallest organisms are composed of a single cell; larger organisms are composed of more than one cell. Similar kinds of cells may be arranged together to form a tissue. Tissues have specific properties and functions. For example muscle tissue is composed of muscle cells. It functions to move body
