Tuesday‚ October 9th‚ 2012 Comparing Plant and Animal Cells Abstract The purpose of our lab was to have a better understanding of what are the differences between animal cells and plant cells. Although the cell is the basic unit in both living beings they are not completely alike. For that I have examined and compared human cheek cells to Elodea leaf cells. First‚ I’ve scraped the inside of my cheek with the end of a swab stick to collect the cells then I’ve prepared them on a clean glass slide. When

Definition of ESCs Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are capable of propagating themselves indefinitely and can retain their ability to make all cell types within the organism. They form at the blastocyst stage of development. A blastocyst is a hollow ball of cells that is smaller than a pinhead. It has three structures- trophoblast‚ blastocoels and inner cell mass (Mandal‚ 2001). The embryonic stem cells lie within this ball of cells. Firstly‚ they are derived from embryos‚ specially obtained from eggs

Cellulitis: Cellulitis is a common skin infection caused by bacteria. Causes Staphylococcus and streptococcus bacteria are the most common causes of cellulitis. The skin normally has many types of bacteria living on it. When there is a break in the skin‚ however‚ bacteria can enter the body and cause infection and inflammation. The skin tissues in the infected area become red‚ hot‚ irritated‚ and painful. Risk factors for cellulitis include: • Cracks or peeling skin between the

Every cell in the body goes through a life cycle. Cells grow and divide to replace cells that are lost because of normal wear and tear or injury to them. All cells grow and die at different rates. The cell cycle can be divided into three periods: interphase‚ the mitotic phase‚ and cytokinesis. During interphase‚ the cell grows‚ accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis‚ preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA. During the mitotic phase‚ the cell splits itself into two distinct daughter

the size of cheek cell and onion cell DCP: Introduction: In this experiment‚ Onion cells (Allium cepa) Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) were measured and compared. The aim of this experiment is to find out how both cells differ by comparing their size. Onion cells (Allium cepa) is plant cell and Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) is an animal cell. Hypothesis: The size of an animal cell (Homo sapiens) should be smaller than a plant cell (Allium cepa). Because a plant cell has cell wall which is to maintain

Lindsay Turner 4/20/01 White Blood Cells Bacteria exist everywhere in the environment and have continuous access to the body through the mouth‚ nose and pores of skin. Further more‚ many cells age and die daily and their remains must be removed‚ this is where the white blood cell plays its role. According to this quotation‚ without white blood cells‚ also known as leukocytes‚ we would not be able to survive. White blood cells are our body ’s number one defense against infections. They

ASSIGNMENT - Why is a cell microscopic? By Lachlan Bryant This research assignment will discuss why cells are usually microscopic in size‚ given that they need to be able to exchange material with their surrounding environment. The cell is highly organised with many functional units or organelles (Spurger).A membrane is a fluid mosaic which consists of proteins‚ lipids and carbohydrates which seperates the cell from it’s surrounding environment or subdivides a cell into specialised regions or
