COMPARTMENTATION OF MAMMALIAN CELLS AND THE DIFFERING FUNCTIONS OF THESE COMPARTMENTS All mammalian cells are eukaryotic‚ and whilst the eukaryotic type of cell is not exclusive to mammals‚ mammalian cells differ from other eukaryotic cells because of the organelles that are or are not present. For instance some plant cells have chloroplasts which are not present in mammalian cells‚ but both plant cells and mammalian cells are eukaryotic in nature. The term eukaryotic refers to the cell having specific membrane

Basic structural unit of all living organisms microscopic “all life forms are composed of cells and product of cells” All functions essential to life occur at the cellular level 1 Phagocytosis‚ Pinocytosis‚ and microvilli CYTOPLASM Collective term for cytosol and organelles contained within Colloidal suspension Cytosol mainly composed of water with free-floating molecules

Cells are considered the basic units of life in part because they come in discrete and easily recognizable packages. That’s because all cells are surrounded by a structure called the cell membrane. The cell is the very smallest unit of living matter. All living things including plants and animals are made up of cells. Cells are made of atoms‚ which are the smallest units of matter. There are many different kinds of cells. The two kinds you are most likely to be familiar with are animal and plant

Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells Prokaryotes refer to organisms with a cell nucleus or organelles that are membrane-bound. Some prokaryotes are multicellular while others are unicellular. Eukaryotes‚ on the other hand‚ refer to organisms whose cytoskeleton and internal membranes organize them into complex structures. Similarities The two types of cells contain the same genetic material and like all cells‚ they release energy through respiration in addition to making proteins similarly. The structure

The cell is the fundamental structural unit of all living organisms. Some cells are complete organisms‚ such as the unicellular bacteria and protozoa; others‚ such as nerve‚ liver‚ and muscle cells‚ are specialized components of multi-cellular organisms. Cells range in size from the smallest bacteria-like mycoplasmas‚ which are 0.1 micrometer in diameter‚ to the egg yolks of ostriches‚ which are about 8 cm (about 3 in) in diameter. Although they may differ widely in appearance and function‚ all cells

observations are repressentative of cell division taking place in the oinon root tip. Firstly‚ this is because our numbers of the number of cells in each phase of mitosis are similar to the rest of the groups‚ so we can assume our results are most likely correct. We can also assume our calculations are right because we know that Interphase is the most active phase in the process of cell divison‚ which would agree with our calculations since we assume that approxiamtly 93% of cells are going though Interphase

Biology 1003 - Cells: Size‚ Structure and Microscopy Introduction What is life? What are the key factors that biologists have defined that apply to every single organism on the planet? In the 17th century‚ due to the amazing advancement of the microscope‚ biologists created a theory to differentiate the living from the non-living called the cell theory. One concept from the theory is that all living organisms are composed of one or more cells. The importance of studying cells is akin to the

The Cell Cycle -Life of cell = divided into 3 stages called cell cycle. -Stages = Interphase‚ Mitosis and Cytokinesis -Interphase= cells carry out functions necessary for survival and cells that divide prepare for reproduction. -Mitosis divides duplicated contents of cell’s nucleus into 2 equal
