Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic Cells Introduction: The Cell: The cell is a functional unit of all living organisms. Cells have evolved into two fundamentally different types‚ eukaryotic and prokaryotic‚ which can be distinguished on the basis of their structure and the complexity of their organization. The simplest organisms which consist of one cell are called prokaryotes. More complex organisms are called eukaryotes and they consist of many cells. Objectives: * Define the terms: Eukaryotes

I laboratory under Prof. Cheryl M. Talde‚ 2nd sem.‚ 2011-2012. 1 2 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was assessed using two tests: the glass tube test and the agar-water gel test. In the glass tube set-up‚ two cotton plugs soaked in two different substances (HCl and NH4OH) were inserted into the two ends of the glass tube. The substance with the lighter molecular weight value (NH 4OH‚ M = 35.0459 g/mole) diffused at a faster rate (dAve = 25.8cm)‚ resulting

Cell Phone Radiation Written by: Jacob Nickerson Cell phone radiation is something we as consumers are exposed to each and every day. What effect does this have on us? Can this radiation alter the cell structures and functions of our bodies? For what amount of time can our bodies be exposed to this radiation without health risks? These are all questions many scientists and researchers are trying to answer with every day that passes. Researchers are divided on a conclusion of whether or not

Stem Cell Controversy Stem cells were first isolated and cultured in November of 1998 and have been surrounded with much debate and controversy since day one. “Although the ethical debates have been mostly static and have closely mimicked the ethical debates over abortion‚ the political determinations concerning federal funding of stem cell research have gone through numerous evolutions in the years since the first hESCs were isolated and cultured” (Saltzberg 505). Research is currently being

Pluripotent Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells made from human somatic cells are a very recent technology of our world. They were first created using mice in 2006‚ and were created from human cells in 2007 by Japanese and US scientists. For many people‚ they represent a beautiful work of science that will help to save many lives. Induced pluripotent stem cells are human skin cells that have been reprogrammed to have the stem cells ability to differentiate

time that was spent by a cell in each of the phases of mitosis. Also‚ it is used to be able to compare the process of mitosis between plant and animal cells. Background: • Mitosis: This is the process by which a cell duplicates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus in order to generate two identical daughter nuclei. • Interphase: This particular stage is divided into three phases‚ G1 (first gap)‚ S (synthesis)‚ and G2 (second gap). During all three phases‚ the cell grows by producing proteins

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 basic‚ living

of the Cell Overview: The Importance of Cells • All organisms are made of cells. o Many organisms are single-celled. o Even in multicellular organisms‚ the cell is the basic unit of structure and function. • The cell is the simplest collection of matter that can live. • All cells are related by their descent from earlier cells. Concept 2 Eukaryotic cells have internal membranes that compartmentalize their functions Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ
