Chapter 3: Cell Structure Notes The cell is the basic unit of biologic organization of the human body Protoplasm: an aqueous colloidal solution of carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids‚ and inorganic salts surrounded by a limiting cell membrane Cells in our respiratory tract produce mucus to trap dust and microorganisms that get past the hairs in our nose then move the material to our throat to be swallowed and passed out through the digestive system The most prominent structure in the

Somatic Cell Transfer is a scientific laboratory technology during which there is the fusion of the entire nucleus of a non-reproductive cell (somatic cell) and its entire nuclear DNA content‚ with the cell of a reproductive cell (germ cell) whose nucleus has been removed; called an enucleated cell‚ allowing the host cell to program the inserted nucleus from the somatic cell‚ and then triggering the reproductive cell with its new DNA content to undergo cell mitotic division in a cell culture.

Structures and processes involved in the movement of substances into and out of cells. Epithelial cells – Epithelial cells are also referred to as eukaryotic cells. These types of cells have a unique nucleus and contain membrane-bounded organelles. Epithelial cells absorb and secrete‚ and the structures of a cells organelles can be viewed from an electron microscope. The nucleus – the nucleus of a cell contains most of the cell’s genetic material‚ organized as multiple long linear DNA molecules

#2) Both Winner and Joy explore the issue of technology and control. How would you compare their two views of current technological development? Focus the comparison on a specific technology‚ such as genetically modified organisms. Technology is always in need of control. You cannot have a world that technology is in control such as the movie Terminator‚ where technology takes over. Just like human beings there is always a need for control. Both Winner and Joy explore this topic; Joy believes

EPIDERMAL CELLS INRODUCTION A living plant cell will shrinks or swells depending on the solute concentration of the cell in relation to the solute concentration of the fluid surrounding the cell (1). It follows that water will move from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration therefore‚ if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution water will move from the cell into the solution until the cell shrinks(1). Further water loss causes can cause the cells protoplasm

Cell Fusion Introduction: The fusion of cells is a fundamental biological event that is essential for a variety of developmental and homeostatic processes. The importance of cell-cell fusion during development and disease is displayed in a variety of biological processes including‚ but not limited to‚ fertilization‚ development of tissues‚ the immune response‚ and aspects of tissue regeneration due to stem cells (Chen and Olson‚ 2005). Fertilization‚ which is the fusion of sperm and egg‚

What are stem cells and what is gene therapy respectively? These are cells that have the potential to form many different types of cells found in the body. When stem cells divide‚ can form more stem cells or other cells that perform specialized functions. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to form a complete individual‚ while adult stem cells can only form certain types of specialized cells. Stem cells to continue to divide throughout the lifetime of a person. The use of recombinant DNA

Effects of Tonicity on Cell Membrane Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of tonicity on a cell membrane using red blood cells‚ potato strips and three unknown solutions (A‚ B‚ C). First three slides were prepared containing RBC’s and unknown solutions A‚ B and C. A control slide was prepared only using RBC’s. After observing each slide under the microscope it was determined that unknown solution A was hypertonic because the RBC appeared to have shrunk. The

Animal Cells Every once living thing is composed of cells. Cells are small organisms that control everything in living things. When an organism is made of one or more cells it is called a multi cellular organism. The first person to discover cells was Richard Hooke. The cells that he saw were the dead cells of cork. When he first saw them they reminded him of the cells that nearby monks lived in. there are many different parts of the cell but all serve a purpose. These many parts of the cells are
