The menstrual cycle is a cyclic process in females that‚ on average‚ occurs every 28 days. The purpose of the menstrual cycle is to help prepare the body for potential fertilization‚ implantation‚ and‚ consequently‚ pregnancy. The happenings of the menstrual cycle are consequences of the simultaneously occurring ovarian cycle and uterine cycle. The ovarian cycle occurs in the ovaries and carries out the follicular phase‚ which spans the first 14 days of a new menstrual cycle. The result is ovulation

Biogeochemical cycles of Earth Earth with its many species and abundant live is a Biosphere in flux. As time passes with the seasons‚ the earth turning upon it’s axis and the movement of the sun’s rays North to South‚ makes it a place of movement and cycles. There are four cycles that are considered the four major biogeochemical cycles. The hydrologic‚ this is the transport of water around the globe. The nitrogen cycle‚ this is the movement of nitrogen within the biosphere. The carbon cycle‚ where

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

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

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

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‚

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells are organized into complex structures by internal membranes and a cytoskeleton. The most characteristic membrane bound structure is the nucleus. This feature gives them their name‚ (also spelled "eucaryote‚") which comes from the Greek word referring to the nucleus. Animals‚ plants‚ fungi‚ and protists are eukaryotes. Microorganisms and all other living organisms are classified as prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are distinguished on the

biology‚ cell theory is a scientific theory that describes the properties of cells‚ which are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction. The initial development of the theory‚ during the mid-17th century‚ was made possible by advances in microscopy; the study of cells is called cell biology. Cell theory is one of the foundations of biology.The observations of Hooke‚ Leeuwenhoek‚ Schleiden‚ Schwann‚ Virchow‚ and others led to the development of the cell theory
