The Irish Potato Famine was a great famine that took place in Ireland between 1845 and 1852. The famine was caused by a potato disease‚ also called a potato blight. This was a huge problem especially considering that much of Ireland’s population was heavily reliant on potato crops. The famine itself killed around one million people. The question of genocide comes in when the British are taken into account. Ireland was dependent to Britain‚ much like how today countries like Puerto Rico are dependent

(Hint: those buried deep in the cell probably do different things than those closer to the cell membrane). Structure does not affect function of the cells‚ cells have a particular structure that enables them to carry out their function in the best way. 2. Draw a labeled diagram of a small section of the plasma membrane and briefly describe its structure and function. 3. Describe the difference between the animal and plant cells. Plant Cells have cell walls‚ which makes them appear rectangular

generalized eukaryotic plant cell. Indicate the ways in which a nonphotosynthetic prokaryotic cell would differ in structure from this generalized eukaryotic plant cell. Plants are unique among the eukaryotes. The interiors of plant cells‚ like all eukaryotic cells‚ contain numerous organelles‚ which are membrane bounded structures that close off compartments within which multiple biochemical processes can proceed simultaneously and independently. The cell membrane of the plant cell has a phospholipid bilayer

Animal Cell There are two types of cells that exist. Prokaryotic cells are simple cells that have few organelles. These cells don’t have a nucleus‚ but do have DNA. The DNA acts as a sort of “blueprint” for growth and reproduction in the cell. Prokaryotes are things like Bacteria. Eukaryotic cells are a lot more complex than a prokaryotic cell. These cells are able to convert food to energy‚ break down waste products‚ digest food‚ and assist with reproduction of new cells. Eukaryotic cells are in

------------------------------------------------- Water and Electrolytes Water constitutes 50-55% of a woman’s body weight and 55-60% of man’s weight. Water gives structure and form to the body‚ helps maintain body temperature‚ and also creates the necessary environment for cell metabolism. There are two compartments of body water‚ extracellular and intracellular fluid. Extracellular fluid (ECF) is water found outside of cells. Making up approximately 20% of total body weight‚ the ECF consists

support‚ move‚ and protect the body; they also give us our features. But without bone cells we would have no bones. Bone cells are the living units that make up your bones and keep them functioning. Bone cells have two major roles‚ which are the production of new bones and resorption or destruction of old bone. They also carry out other small roles. There are four main types of bone cells: Osteogenic‚ which are bone cells that respond to traumas‚ osteoblasts‚ which form bone matrix around themselves by

Sickle cell disease is present usually in those of African or Mediterranean descent (Saladin 2007). About 1.3% of African Americans have sickle cell (Saladin‚ 2007). Sickle cell was originated in Africa where malaria was killing a vast number of people (Saladin‚ 2007). The sickle cell hemoglobin is not able to be digested by the parasites that cause malaria‚ making those with sickle cell resistant to malaria (Saladin‚ 2007).

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
