The Human Egg Cell. The human egg cell is also known as the ovum. With a spherical structure it is the largest cell in the human body measuring about 0.2mm in diameter. The function of the ovum is to reproduce‚ when fertilized by the sperm cell the ovum is capable of creating a new living organism. The size and shape of the ovum gives it space to store and create nutrients (see fig 3) (Boyle and Senior 2008) The ovum is bounded by the egg follicles of the ovaries and is produced by primitive germ

OBSERVING PLASMOLYSIS IN ONION CELLS (_ALLIUM CEPA_) I. INTRODUCTION Plasmolysis is the process in plant cells in which the cytoplasm is separated from the cell wall as a result of water loss through osmosis. Osmosis is a type of passive transport involving movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane. 1.

POTENTIAL OF CELL SAP OF PLANT EPIDERMAL CELLS Aim: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effects that the molarity of the sucrose solution and distilled water have on the plasmolisys of epidermal cells of a red onion. Hypothesis: Taking in consideration osmosis‚ and my knowledge about it‚ my prediction is that as the molarity of the solution under which the cells are exposed will increase‚ also the amount of plasmolysed cells‚ counted from amount of undamaged cells taken into

Experiment title: Preparation of Biological Materials for Microscopic Examination Objectives: 1. To learn how to use a microscope. 2. To study the cell structure of starch grains‚ onion cells and cheek cells. 3. To differentiate the difference between starch grains‚ onion cells and cheek cells. Introduction: Microscope is an optical instrument use to magnify micro objects that hardly or impossible to be observed by naked eyes‚ so that the objects can be studied. Compound light microscope

have a huge impact on the communication between cells. Cell communication is a crucial process necessary for cells to carry out various functions. Drugs such as Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)‚ known as ecstasy‚ can create barriers or confusion to cells. Cell to cell communication carry messages from signaling cells to target cells. Usually a cell will bind with a target cell through a receptor protein in the plasma membrane of the target cell

Cells‚ Cell Division‚ and Cell Specialization Fundamentally Different Types of Cell Prokaryotic Cell- single celled: only DNA+ structure (“before nucleus”) E.g. zygote-complete DNA Eukaryotic Cell-multi-celled (“after nucleus”) Prokaryotes Eukaryotes DNA In “nucleoid” region Within membrane-bound nucleus Chromosomes Single‚ circular Multiple‚ linear Organelles None Membrane-bound organelles Size Usually smaller Usually larger- 50 times Organization Usually single-celled Often multicellular

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

Chemistry of Life Anatomy: the study of structure or shape of body parts and their relationship to each other. Physiology: the study of function (how the parts work) Levels of structural organization: There is a hierarchy of structural complexity‚ beginning with the simplest or chemical level and culminating with the highest level-the whole organism Chemical level – atoms (and their parts)‚ and combinations of atoms called molecures Cellular level – cells are the basic structural and functional

a.1 Eukaryotic Cell vs Prokaryotic Cell All cells can be classfied into prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes were the only form of life on Earth for millions of years until more complicated eukaryotic cells came into being through the process of evolution.
