The cell theory‚ or cell doctrine‚ states that all organisms are composed of similar units of organization‚ called cells. The concept was formally articulated in 1839 by Schleiden & Schwann and has remained as the foundation of modern biology. The idea predates other great paradigms of biology including Darwin’s theory of evolution (1859)‚ Mendel’s laws of inheritance (1865)‚ and the establishment of comparative biochemistry (1940).

Cell Size Control David A Guertin‚ Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research‚ Cambridge‚ Massachusetts‚ USA David M Sabatini‚ Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research‚ Cambridge‚ Massachusetts‚ USA Growth in biological systems is defined as the accumulation of mass‚ which leads to an increase in size. In this article‚ we discuss how cells‚ organs‚ and organisms normally control growth‚ and how deregulated growth can lead to a variety of pathological conditions. Introductory article Article

What is it? Sickle cell anemia is a type of blood disorder that can be inherited from parents. This is when red blood cells that are meant to carry oxygen around the body become deformed. Normal red blood cells are round and disc shaped‚ however‚ when they become sickle red blood cells‚ the deform and change shape into a crescent-like shape or sickle shape. The sickle cells have a shorter life-span than a healthy red blood cell and are not replaced as quickly as normal; this leads to a shortage

Effects of Tonicity on Cell Membrane Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of tonicity on a cell membrane using red blood cells‚ potato strips and three unknown solutions (A‚ B‚ C). First three slides were prepared containing RBC’s and unknown solutions A‚ B and C. A control slide was prepared only using RBC’s. After observing each slide under the microscope it was determined that unknown solution A was hypertonic because the RBC appeared to have shrunk. The

Say yes to Cell Phone! Is using cell phone or any electronics in school a bad thing? Well‚ I strongly believe using a phone or any electronics isn’t a bad idea. All teenagers or children who use their electronics know it’s really risky to use them in school. What does “phone” mean to the school? I think it’s very simple it means bad for the student‚ but is it really true? In My opinion‚ I think that any teens in school should allow using their phone! Teenagers love their cell phone a lot

_____ Chapter 8-1: Cell Growth and Division Does your body grow by adding more cells‚ or by individual cells growing larger? what is the connection between surface area of a cell and how quickly the cell can exchange water‚ oxygen‚ food and wastes? what is the connection between volume of a cell and how quickly the cell uses up oxygen and food and produces wastes? What happens to surface area and volume as a cell gets larger? Describe the two main reasons why cell size is limited Compare

Sickle Cell Disease Blood has been considered the essence of life for centuries‚ and our blood is a living tissue made up of liquid and solids. There are many diseases related to blood such as anemia which is the decrease in oxygen supply to tissue and causes hypoxia‚ thalassemia is the mutation in one or more globin gene of hemoglobin‚ etc. Therefore‚ one of blood disorders is the most common symptomatic hemoglobinopathy with the greatest prevalence in worldwide which is called sickle cell disease

Work Cell Simulation Robots are a major part of automation technology. Application of this technology depends on how robots are located and used in work cells. Feature-based work cell simulation software is perfect for these applications‚ because it provides an interactive and accurate virtual view of a fully combined robotic work cells that can be modeled and assessed for low cost and reliable solutions. Designers can use the software to model a work cell by acquiring a group of components‚ such
