Cell Specialisation All cells are designed to perform a particular job within an organism‚ that is‚ to sustain life. Cells can become specialized to perform a particular function within an organism‚ usually as part of a larger tissue consisting of many of the same cells working together for example muscle cells. The cells combine together for a common purpose. All organisms will contain specialised cells. There are hundreds of types of specialised cells. Below is listed some of the major ones

Diana Rubene LS2B Abstract The chloroplast is most commonly recognized for its vital role in plant cells & protist cells as their main provider of energy. Within this review we are going to discuss what exactly is chloroplast what structures make up this complex & super efficient organelle which is so important not only to plants & protists‚ but also to us. How exactly does it absorb and use solar energy and use it to produce carbohydrates rich with energy that can be passed down the food chain‚

CHAPTER 36 PLANT CELLS The first barrier to form between daughter cells is the middle lamella. Daughter cells expand to their final size and make polysaccharides for a primary wall. After expansion stops waterproofing materials are added for a secondary wall. Water and dissolved materials move from cell to cell by way of pit pairs. A pit is a thin spot in the primary wall where the secondary wall is absent or separated from the primary wall by a space. Strands of cytoplasm called

Bacterial cells are Prokaryotic cells. These cells have several internal structures and surface structures. The cell walls are of two types‚ gram positive and gram negative. Out of all the structures‚ the two selected structures are the cell- wall and endospores. The cell- wall of bacterial cells is found in three distinct shapes such as spherical‚ spiral and rod shaped. The cell wall of the bacterial cells is composed of the proteins and polysaccharides. This is collectively called peptidoglycan

1. Why is cell differentiation important in the formation of organ systems? - When a cell differentiates‚ it becomes more specialized and it may undertake major changes in its size‚ shape‚ metabolic activity‚ and overall function. Cellular differentiation is important and occurs so cells can specialize for distinct functions‚ such as an organ system‚ within an organism. All cells in the body‚ beginning with a zygote‚ contain the same DNA then go through cell growth and division‚ also called mitosis

Gahan The Vertebrate Endocrine System in specific reference to their role in Human Menstruation‚ Ovarian and Uterine cycles Rio Summers April 2009 Word Count: 2693 The vertebrate endocrine system can be best explained as an internal body system collecting multiple organs and glands that produce and regulate hormone secretion into the bloodstream in order to control the many functions of the body. The endocrine system functions alongside the nervous and exocrine system to control and maintain growth

Electronics Reference Data Sheet: BATTPRIM.PDF (1) PRIMARY CELLS & BATTERIES Many portable electrical and electronic devices are designed to be powered from batteries and in a lot of cases‚ from primary or non-rechargeable batteries. This is the familiar kind of battery which has a fixed amount of energy stored in it during manufacture‚ and once that energy has been used up the battery is simply thrown away and replaced. There are many different types of primary battery now available‚ each with

Cell wall is a fairly rigid‚ protective and supportive layer surrounding the cell external to plasma membrane of plants‚ bacteria‚ archaea‚ fungi and algae. It is absent in animals and most protists. It was first observed by Robert Hooke in 1665. It is not an entirely rigid structure as the cell wall expands due to the growth of the cell. It varies in thickness from o.1mm to I0mm.in most of the cells‚ cell wall is present from the very beginning to the last‚ but in slime molds (myxomycetes)

A solar cell (also called photovoltaic cell or photoelectric cell) is a solid state electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Assemblies of cells used to make solar modules which are used to capture energy from sunlight‚ are known as solar panels. The energy generated from these solar modules‚ referred to as solar power‚ is an example of solar energy. Photovoltaics is the field of technology and research related to the practical

CELL INJURY: CAUSES OF CELL INJURY‚ MECHANISMS OF REVERSIBLE AND IRREVERSIBLE CELL INJURY. CELL INJURY. Causes of cell injury range from gross mechanical external causes to mild endogenous causes as genetic lack of enzymes etc. Virtually all forms of tissue injuries start with molecular or structural alterations in cells. Under normal conditions‚ the cells are in: ❖ homeostastatic „steady“ state Normal cell is confined to relatively narrow range of functions and structure by
