biology‚ cell theory is a scientific theory that describes the properties of cells‚ which are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction. The initial development of the theory‚ during the mid-17th century‚ was made possible by advances in microscopy; the study of cells is called cell biology. Cell theory is one of the foundations of biology.The observations of Hooke‚ Leeuwenhoek‚ Schleiden‚ Schwann‚ Virchow‚ and others led to the development of the cell theory

WHAT IS A CELL? It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing‚ and is often called the building block of life. The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. Some organisms are unicellular (made of only one cell) while others are multicellular (made up of several cells). The word cell comes from the Latin cellula‚ meaning‚ a small room. The term was coined by Robert Hooke in a book he published in 1665 when he compared the cork cells he saw

Title: Diffusion throughout the membranes Lab Partner(s): Alexis Clouting Date: 2/15/15 Abstract: In the content of the Module 2 we learned about Diffusion across cell membranes. We touched on the different types of cells and their functions. How things are transported in and out of cells. Learning about isotonic‚ hypertonic and even hypotonic solution. This is not my first time touching on this subject in my nursing career and I learned a way to remember what happens in the different solutions

increase in size as their cells grow and divide. Almost all cells complete a full cell cycle that includes interphase and cell division. In interphase‚ cells serve their specialized functions‚ grow‚ and copy their genetic material. Mitosis is the first stage of cell division‚ in which the copied chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. Then in cytokinesis the cell divides into two daughter cells. If no mutations or errors occur‚ the genetic material in each daughter cell is identical to what was

What I am comparing the structure of a cell to is a car. The reason I choose to do a car is because it is very similar to the structure of a cell and because to me it was the most interesting choice to choose from. Another reason I choose to compare the cell to a car is because it seemed to be the easiest one for me to do as compared to a Hogwarts or a city. Doing a house or a prison would have also been fairly easy but they were already picked by the people at my table. That wars why I choose to

temperature such as cold/hot would have on the diffusion rate? Answer: The rate of diffusion of molecules depends on how soluble they are. The rate of diffusion depends on the size of the molecule in general‚ small molecules would pass through a membrane faster than larger molecules. As temperatures increase‚ molecular movement increases. As the movement increases‚ so will the diffusion rate as the molecules spread faster and faster. The opposite would be true of colder temperatures. 3. Considering
