A Survey of Eukaryotic Cells and Microorganisms HISTORY OF EUKARYOTES: 1. Evidence indicates that the first Eukaryotic cells first appeared on the earth approximately 2 billion years ago. Fossilized cells appear in shale sediments from China‚ Russia and Australia the date from 850-950 million years ago. 2. Biologists have discovered evidence to suggest that the eukaryotic cell evolved from prokaryotic organisms by a process of intracellular symbiosis. 3. Some of the organelles that

Embryonic vs. Adult Stem Cells - Why Jean Swenson Doesn’t Support Embryonic Research and Why An Audience Would Listen As science becomes more and more advanced‚ there are many more ways to combat illnesses. Some of these are more successful and widely known‚ but one of the more controversial is stem cell research. In the article "Embryonic Stem Cell Fairy Tales"‚ Jean Swenson attempts to educate the public on why she believes many are prone to believing that embryonic stem cells (which have not been

Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disease. The word anemia is defined as meaning that the blood does not have the required number of red blood cells. These cells take on a crescent shape‚ which is where the disease takes its name from the abnormal sickle shapes of the cells. It is commonly found in people from Africa‚ the Mediterranean region‚ southern India and the Middle East. “This disease of the blood was first discovered in 1910 in a black college student from the

Suddenly‚ stem cells are everywhere. Once relegated to the depths of esoteric health journals‚ the microscopic clusters have made their way to the nation�s front pages. The complexity and drama surrounding these relatively simple cells has increased due a ticking clock: By the end of the month‚ President Bush is scheduled to decide whether to continue federal funding for stem cell research. The question of using stem cells for research is intrinsically scientific‚ and yet has become the political

Introduction There are many ways cells dispose of toxic molecules in order to maintain the necessary internal environmental conditions to survive. These toxic molecules are known as free radicals that contain an unpaired electron on the outer orbit (Proljsak et al.2013). Some examples of free radicals that can be found in the cell are superoxide (O2-)‚ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and even reactive metals like copper and iron. These free radicals are produced based on the environment the individuals
