ROD CELLS Rod cells‚ or rods‚ are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than the other type of visual photoreceptor‚ cone cells. Rods are concentrated at the outer edges of the retina and are used in peripheral vision. On average‚ there are approximately 125 million rod cells in the human retina.[1] More sensitive than cone cells‚ rod cells are almost entirely responsible for night vision. STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION Rods are a little longer and leaner

Eukaryotic Cells Cells are the basic building block of life. Cells can be either Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic cells. Organism can only contain either one but not both of them. Prokaryotic cells are usually much smaller than Eukaryotic and are less complex. Bacteria are made up of one or more prokaryotic cells. Bacteria are made up of one or more prokaryotic cells. While Eukaryotic cell are found inside plant and animal life. Eukaryotic are more advanced and larger. Prokaryotic cell were the first

Stem cells -are biological cells found in all multi cellularorganisms‚ that can divide (throughmitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. In mammals‚ there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells‚ which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts‚ and adult stem cells‚ which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms‚ stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body‚ replenishing

carry out a practical examination on a plant (onion) and an animal (cheek) cell under a light microscope. The stain methods I am going to use are iodine for my onion cell and methylene blue for my cheek cell. Introduction All animals and plants are made up of cells. Animal and plant cells are made from millions of tiny cells‚ so small that we are unable to see them with our naked eye. Animals and plants have many features in common within a cell such as a cell membrane‚ cytoplasm‚ mitochondria‚

Seeding cells into needled felt scaffolds for tissue engineering applications SUMMARY: Tissue engineering methods are under development that will enable the repair or replacement of a variety of tissues‚ including articular cartilage and bone. To engineer functional tissue it is necessary that scaffolds initially be seeded with a large number of cells distributed evenly throughout the scaffold structure. It previously has been shown that‚ compared to static seeding conditions‚ seeding scaffolds

simple cells surrounded by a membrane and a cell wall‚ with a circular strand of DNA containing their genes. They do not contain a nucleus or other internal structures that higher cells may have. These are called prokaryotes. Basically all the life you see today‚ including plants and animals‚ belongs to the third domain‚ Eukaryota. Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotes; the major difference between the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is the nucleus. The nucleus in a eukaryotic cell is

believe differently. Con organization also have five main beliefs. The first con they believe in animal testing is a cruel thing. They believe no living thing should be put to suffer because another species is curious. Although Pro organizations claim no animals are harmed the Con organization has released this statement to prove Pro organization wrong: According to Humane Society International‚ animals used in experiments are commonly subjected to force feeding‚ forced inhalation‚ food and water

The fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane. What is the fluid mosaic model? The fluid mosaic model is a model conceived by S.J. Singer and Garth Nicolson in 1972 to describe the structural features of biological membranes. The membrane is described to be fluid because of its hydrophobic integral components such as lipids and membrane proteins that move laterally or sideways throughout the membrane. That means the membrane is not solid‚ but more like a ’fluid’. The membrane is depicted as mosaic
