_____ 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

Describe the cell cycle. Include in your discussion the role cyclins and CDKs play in controlling this cycle. The cell cycle is a process that cells undergo to grow‚ reproduce‚ and divide to make 2 daughter cells. The cell cycle has different stages including G1‚ S‚ G2‚ and the M phase. Also we have the G0 phase. There are checkpoints that control the transitions between the phases of the cell cycle in which the process is regulated by cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). G1 is known as

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

features of this defense or system is the white blood cells. The White Blood Cells work to fight off any infection there is and have a memory function that remembers the disease to keep it away. A leukocyte‚ which is the formal name for white blood cells‚ protects the body in various ways from getting sick. The red bone marrow’s stem cells‚ which are called hemocytoblasts‚ are the source of creation for almost all of the white blood cells. Five types of white blood are carried through the blood

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) which capable of harvesting electricity from renewable biomass and organic wastes arise as a promising yet challenging candidate to the existing sustainable energy portfolio (Picioreanu‚ et al. 2010).

Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder‚ identified by the sickle shape of red blood cells which carry less oxygen and break easily‚ causing anemia. The sickling trait‚ the less serious form‚ occurs from the inheritance of only one parent; however‚ both parents must exhibit the disease in order for full symptoms to take place. It is caused by an error in the gene that tells the body how to make hemoglobin. The disorder is usually found in people of African descent
