    Robert Hooke first looked at a thin slice of cork in 1665; he saw "a lot of little boxes." These little boxes first reminded of the little rooms monks lived in‚ so he called them cells. Hooke observed the same pattern in the stems and roots of carrots and other plants. What Hooke still did not know‚ however‚ was that cells are the basic units of living things. Ten years later‚ the Dutch scientist Anton van Leeuwenhoek focused a microscope on what seemed to be clear pond water and discovered a wondrous

    Eukaryotic vs. Prokaryotic cells Prompt: Describe the similarities and differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells. All organisms are made of cells. The cell is the simplest collection of matter that can be alive. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of every organism. Cells fall into two distinct types: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. While Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells are similar in that both types of cells are bounded by a plasma membrane‚ all contain cytosol‚ and all

    CHAPTER 12- THE CELL CYCLE I. Concept 12.1- Cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells A. Overview 1) The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells or cell division. 2) The cell division process is an integral part of the cell cycle‚ the life of a cell from the time it is first formed from a dividing parent cell until its own division into two cells. B. Cellular Organization of the Genetic Material 1) A cell’s endowment of DNA‚ its genetic

    increase in size as their cells grow and divide. Almost all cells complete a full cell cycle that includes interphase and cell division. In interphase‚ cells serve their specialized functions‚ grow‚ and copy their genetic material. Mitosis is the first stage of cell division‚ in which the copied chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. Then in cytokinesis the cell divides into two daughter cells. If no mutations or errors occur‚ the genetic material in each daughter cell is identical to what was

    - The major functions of the cell is concentrated at the outer edges of the retina and are used in peripheral vision. On average‚ there are about 125 million rod cells in the human retina. Rod cells are almost entirely responsible for night vision. Rod cells do not process fine details or color differences‚ but are highly sensitive to light. A single flash of light is all that is require to produce a response from a rod cell. Rod cells function as specialized neurons that convert visual stimuli in
