Commercial Cells Galvanic Cell A Galvanic cell is also known as a Voltaic cell. It was named after Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta. A galvanic cell is capable of producing an electric current from a redox reaction that occurs within it and consists of two half cells. Each half cell consists of an electrode and electrolyte and a salt bridge. In a galvanic cell one metal can undergo reduction and the other oxidation. A typical galvanic cell is based on the spontaneous redox reaction: Net Ionic

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

Weismann‚ who noted that two cell divisions were necessary to transform one diploid cell into four haploid cells if the number of chromosomes had to be maintained. In 1911 the American geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan observed crossover in Drosophila melanogaster meiosis and provided the first genetic evidence that genes are transmitted on chromosomes. The term meiosis was introduced to biology by J.B. Farmer and J.E.S. Moore in 1905 Meiosis i/maɪˈoʊsɨs/ is a special type of cell division necessary for

Animal Cell Cells are the beginning of everything. Every living thing is composed and made from cells. Cells are the smallest unit of organization that we know of. There are two major categories of cellular organization in eukaryotic cells. Those parts which are “membrane bound”‚ called organelles and those which are not “membrane bound”. Every aspect of the cell is important because each part or organelle’s structure is unique to its function. Non membrane bound organelles‚ are those which provide
