Cells must move materials through membranes and throughout cytoplasm in order to maintain homoeostasis. The movement is regulated because cellular membranes‚ including the plasma and organelle membranes‚ are selectively permeable[1]. The purpose of an automatic flow of molecules is to create equilibrium on each side of the membrane. In order for molecules to pass through the membranes‚ there must be pores. The size of the pore determines what molecules can cross. Due to the size and polarity‚ only

Cells in series and in parallel Cells in Series When cells are connected in series with each other and they are all connected in the same direction the total potential difference supplied to the circuit is the individual potential differences added together. Vtotal = V1 + V2 + V3 Identical cells in parallel with each other When identical cells are in parallel with each other the total potential difference supplied to the circuit is equal to the potential difference of just one of the

experiment’s ultimate goal is to find the water potential of the potato cell. This was achieved through placing potato cores in different concentrations of sucrose (0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%‚ 2.0%‚ 3.0% and 4.0%) solution and to observe how much water was gained or lost through osmosis to reach a prediction of the concentration within the potato cell. The results displayed that the concentration of sucrose within the potato cell is 1.7% and that as the amount of sucrose is increased in the external

describe the three main parts of a cell. plasma membrane-forms a cell’s flexible outer surface‚ separating the cell’s internal environment (inside the cell) from its external environment (outside the cell) cytoplasm- consists of all the cellular contents between the plasma membrane and the nucleus. nucleus- is the largest organelle of a cell. The nucleus acts as the control center for a cell because it contains the genes‚ which control cellular structure and most cellular activities The cell is the

It’s great to have cell phones and be able to call anyone anytime in the day whether it’s for socializing or seeking for help if stuck anywhere. However‚ people have forgotten

Comparing Plant and Animal Cells Hypothesis: I predict I will see the following organelles when observing a plant and animal cell under a microscope: the cell membrane‚ cell wall‚ nucleus‚ and the endoplasmic reticulum. Frog Blood: Analysis: 1. The shape of the frog blood cell was in a circle‚ or oval. The edges were a little irregular‚ but it could still be identified as‚ basically‚ a circular shape. 2. The cells were produced by an animal‚ a frog. 3. The cell wall was not present

Human Biology Unit 1 Assignment. A cell is a small membrane enclosed structure filled with an aqueous solution where the organelles are found. Organelles are small structures within cells that perform dedicated functions. All eukaryotic cells have the following organelles: Nucleus‚ Ribosomes‚ Lysosomes‚ Cytoplasm‚ Nucleolus‚ Cell Membrane‚ Mitochondria‚ Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and Golgi Body. Insulin is a protein compound made up of more than one chain of amino acids. Amino acids are the building

Small wireless device that has at least the same functions of a standard wired telephone but is smaller and more mobile. A cell phone requires a subscription to a service provider and requires either a prepaid or monthly billing setup. Generally‚ they have more functions than traditional land lines and need to be charged after a period of time. Also called mobile phone or mobile device.—BusinessDictionary.com A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone‚ cell phone and a hand phone) is a device
