Chapter-8 Cell: The Unit Of Life What is a cell? Cell is the basic or fundamental structural and functional unit of an organism. What is cell biology? The branch of biology that deals with the study of cell structure and function is called cell biology. DISCOVERIES; Who discovered cell? Robert Hooke observed a live cell in 1665. He observed the cell(actually the cell walls) in the slice of cork under his compound microscope ‚coined the term cell‚ recorded his observations in micrographic

Animal cells do not have a cell wall. Instead of a cell wall‚ the plasma membrane (usually called cell membrane when discussing animal cells) is the outer boundary of animal cells. Animal tissues therefore require either external or internal support from some kind of skeleton. Frameworks of rigid cellulose fibrils thicken and strengthen the cell walls of higher plants. Plasmodesmata that connect the protoplasts of higher plant cells do not have a counterpart in the animal cell model. During telophase

The Kingdom of Armorika’s low Gini Coefficient suggests that the economy is stable and there is a market to import technological and luxury items. With a fairly even distribution of wealth firms can expect to have access to large markets. The Kingdom of Armorika provides firms with a market that is educated in making purchasing decisions with an adult literacy rate at 99% and UN Human Development Index(HDI) of .9 . If firms are to create a start in a market and gain a first-mover advantage they will

Fan Cart Lab We did a fan cart for our physics class the other day. To set up the lab first‚ we measured the effect of the mass of the fan cart on the acceleration of the cart. The mass of the fan cart was the independent variable and acceleration was the dependent variable. We kept the speed of the cart on medium‚ and calculated the acceleration and motion. As a result‚ we had figured out that the bigger the mass the slower the acceleration‚ as we all should have known. To calculate this we used

One size doesn’t fit all. Many companies find that the best way to get ahead is to expand ownership boundaries through mergers and acquisitions. For others‚ separating the public ownership of a subsidiary or business segment offers more advantages. At least in theory‚ mergers create synergies and economies of scale‚ expanding operations and cutting costs. Investors can take comfort in the idea that a merger will deliver enhanced market power. By contrast‚ de-merged companies often
