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

Sickle cell disease and the hope of stem cell therapies; ethics in the treatment sickle cell. The past half century has been an era of rapid discoveries: from the humble beginnings of molecular biology‚ discovery of the structure of DNA‚ research on recombinant DNA‚ the discovery of the human embryonic stem cell (ESC)‚ the completion of the Human Genome Projects‚ mammalian cloning and the discovery of ntESCs (nuclear transfer ESCs) by somatic cell nuclear transfer and the ethical sigh of relief

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

Movement in and out of cells Diffusion: (mixing molecules) Molecules and ions in a liquid or a gas move continuously. The movement is quite random‚ and the particles change direction as they bump into one another. The particles collide more often when they are close together (when they are concentrated) and so they tend to diffuse‚ or spread out‚ until they are spaced evenly throughout the gas or liquid. The random movement of particles is due to their own kinetic energy. When the diffusion
