Cell Structure - Cell Organelles 1. What is cell theory? Cell theory asserts that the cell is the constituent unit of living beings. Before the discovery of the cell‚ it was not recognized that living beings were made of building blocks like cells. The cell theory is one of the basic theories of Biology. 2. Are there living beings without cells? Viruses are considered the only living beings that do not have cells. Viruses are constituted by genetic material (DNA or RNA) enwrapped by a protein

Cell Reproduction Dr. Susan Kennedy Introduction to Biology January 28‚ 2012 Introduction Cellular reproduction is the process by which cells duplicate their contents and then divide to yield two cells with similar‚ if not duplicate contents. Life as we know it depends on the ability of cells to store‚ retrieve and translate the genetic instructions required to make and maintain a living organism. In this assignment‚ I will discuss two different types of cell reproduction

and animal cells have several differences and similarities. For example‚ animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed‚ rectangular shapes. Animal Cell Plant Cell Cell wall Absent Present (formed of cellulose) Shape Round (irregular shape) Rectangular (fixed shape) Vacuole One or more small vacuoles (much smaller than plant cells). One‚ large central vacuole taking up 90% of cell volume.

Biology- Animal cell The NUCLEUS is the largest organelle in the majority of cells. It contains genetic information in DNA‚ which is responsible for the cells unique characteristics. The nucleus is separated from the rest of the cell by.... ...The NUCLEAR ENVELOPE is used as a barrier which separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm‚ all in all keeping the DNA safe and intact. The nuclear envelope regulates the flow of substances into and out of the nucleus. The NUCLEOLUS is an important

EXPLORING THE EGG CELL By: Christina Vu SNC2D3 Mr.Ram FUNCTION OF THE EGG CELL: The egg cell is the female gamete used for sexual reproduction. The egg cell is responsible for providing half of the genetic material required for reproduction. When the egg cell joins with the sperm cell.... The egg cell is large and bulky structure which allows the sperm cell to get in easily. WHAT ORGANELLES DOES AN EGG CELL HAVE AND THEIR FUNCTION? Mitochondria: Produces energy for the cell by a process called

are important to understanding cell injury and cell death regardless of the injuring agent” (Heuther & McCance‚ 2012). Cellular injury arises when a cell is unable to sustain homeostasis. The injury can be reversed if the cell can recover from whatever damage was done but if it does not recover the cell will die. The three common forms of cell injury are hypoxic injury‚ free radicals and reactive oxygen species injury‚ and chemical injury. The most common form of cell injury is hypoxic injury‚ or

Extra Credit Assignment Energy Transfer in living systems Energy is the capacity to do work. All living organisms require energy for carrying on their vital metabolic activities. The primary source of energy for living system is solar radiation. The radiant energy of sunlight cannot be utilized directly by all living organisms. This ability rests only with the green plants. All the other organisms have to meet their energy requirement only through the green plants. Energy that flows in the living

[pic] Cells and Their Organelles The cell is the basic unit of life. The following is a glossary of animal cell terms. All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane. The cell membrane is semipermeable‚ allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others. It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and embedded proteins. Color and label the cell membrane tan. Plant cells have an additional layer surrounding them called the cell wall. The cell wall is made of nonliving
