ASSIGNMENT - Why is a cell microscopic? By Lachlan Bryant This research assignment will discuss why cells are usually microscopic in size‚ given that they need to be able to exchange material with their surrounding environment. The cell is highly organised with many functional units or organelles (Spurger).A membrane is a fluid mosaic which consists of proteins‚ lipids and carbohydrates which seperates the cell from it’s surrounding environment or subdivides a cell into specialised regions or

Cell Phones In the article of “Why I’m Getting a Divorce in 2014” by Jarrid Wilson‚ Wilson talks about how we should take the cell phone and turn it back into its original purpose. At the end of the blog it asks if you will take the vow to divorce your phone‚ and other technologies. So that you can spend more time with your family and friends. The article does have some truth to it. In the fact that some of us may use or phones a bit to much‚ but on another note cell phones let us connect to

# Cell Part Kingdom Analogy Why this analogy makes sense 1 Nucleus King The nucleus is the largest organelle and directs all cell activity‚ just like a king who controls and directs activity going on throughout the kingdom and is known as the biggest person in relation with power. 2 Nucleolus Peasants The nucleolus is the organelle which produces the ribosomes (farm) throughout the cell‚ just like the peasants who work hard to keep the farm fertile and running. 3 Ribosomes Farm The ribosomes

2001‚ the federal government authorized stem cell research. There has been much controversy revolving around this type of research‚ especially the embryonic stem cell. Do you agree or disagree with the stem cell research. Why? Stem Cell Research is the process in which scientists use human cells in order to create new cells‚ examples including brain‚ nerve‚ liver cells‚ and some tissues. Stem cell research includes embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Although the research can be medically beneficial

Cell Biology Lab - Homework 1 Due to the week of Oct. 6-10th This is NOT a lab group project. Do the work individually. You may use any source other than your fellow students. Show your work‚ use your own words and cite all references. 1. (20 points) The HeLa S3 cancer cell line is considered to be “continuous” due to acquired mutations that enable the cells to evade senescence. This property is one of several hallmark characteristics of cancer cell lines. Describe three hallmark characteristics

Have you ever imagined the world without cell phones!? How do you think it has affected the world today? The cell phone allows people to communicate with other people anywhere in the world with anyone they want at anytime. How you use the cell phone is what makes it a positive or negative impact on you‚ society‚ and the environment. A man named Martin Cooper invented it; he invented it because he wanted people to be able to carry their phones where ever they wanted. He invented it on April 3rd‚

All living cells have a cell membrane and it is probably the most important organelle of a cell. The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid‚ proteins and carbohydrates. The phospholipids are arranged in a bilayer with the hydrophilic ends facing out and the hydrophobic ends facing the inside of bilayer. Membranes can contain phospholipids with different fatty acids which affects the strength and flexibility of the membrane. There are two different proteins in cell membranes. One is a protein

efficient sources of power. At the forefront of research for these power sources are hydrogen fuel cells. This power source takes in the most abundant element in the universe‚ Hydrogen‚ and yields immense power without combustion or pollution. The three aspects of this scientific breakthrough are the fuel cells‚ hydrogen production‚ and hydrogen storage. Fuel cells are the devices with which Hydrogen is made into electricity. These use a technology much similar to that of something we are very
