CELL THEORY – STEM CELLS Stem cells are a large focus of study in today’s biomedical world. “They are cells that exist in an undifferentiated state‚ and transform into differing tissue types depending on what the cells surrounding them are‚“ (National Institute of Health‚ 2012). Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition‚ they also serve as an internal repair mechanism inside many tissues‚ dividing without

structure of these cells is a flying disk shaped like a donut‚ this is so maximum haemoglobin can be carried allowing maximum amount of oxygen to be transported. Sperm cells A sperm cell is the male reproductive cell that carries the male portion of chromosomes and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) information to be fused with the female egg or ovum. The sperm cell carries various amount of heredity information inside the cell nucleus. There are various ways in which sperm can be transmitted to the

Background Information: Cell Transport When molecules move from a high to low concentration it is called moving DOWN the concentration gradient. When molecules move from a low to high concentration it is called moving AGAINST the concentration gradient. When the concentration of a solute is the same throughout a system‚ the system is at EQUILIBRIUM. What kind of transport DOES NOT require energy? PASSIVE What kind of transport requires energy? ACTIVE Which CELL PART provides the energy for

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive features include: A large central vacuole‚ a water-filled volume enclosed by a membrane known as the tonoplast maintains the cell’s turgor‚ controls movement of molecules between the cytosol and sap‚ stores useful material and digests waste proteins and organelles. A cell wall composed of cellulose and hemicellulose‚ pectin and in many cases lignin‚ is secreted by

generalized eukaryotic plant cell. Indicate the ways in which a nonphotosynthetic prokaryotic cell would differ in structure from this generalized eukaryotic plant cell. Plants are unique among the eukaryotes. The interiors of plant cells‚ like all eukaryotic cells‚ contain numerous organelles‚ which are membrane bounded structures that close off compartments within which multiple biochemical processes can proceed simultaneously and independently. The cell membrane of the plant cell has a phospholipid bilayer

Cytoplasmic streaming is controlled by microfilaments in the cell’s cytoskeleton. These filaments of actin and myosin move cellular contents in an active process that uses energy released by breaking ATP down in ADP. How might a cell benefit by spending

Imagine a busy factory making the latest must-have toy. Whether they make bicycles‚ cell phones‚ or hot air balloons‚ most factories are set up the same way. All factories have outside walls that protect and support them and inside walls that create different work areas. They usually have a production line where a product is put together and an executive department that decides what product is made. A finishing department processes and prepares the product for shipping‚ and a packaging department

more than 115 million animals worldwide are used in laboratory experiments every year (Humane Society International‚ 2010). Animals‚ from the fruit fly to the mouse‚ are widely used in scientific research. Research is critical for the advancement of medicine‚ leading to increased chances of survival from diseases and improved strategies to prevent them. Without animal experiments‚ transplants‚ diseases‚ cancer‚ and vaccines would not have been advanced. The use of animals can be inevitable‚ particularly
