are important to understanding cell injury and cell death regardless of the injuring agent” (Heuther & McCance‚ 2012). Cellular injury arises when a cell is unable to sustain homeostasis. The injury can be reversed if the cell can recover from whatever damage was done but if it does not recover the cell will die. The three common forms of cell injury are hypoxic injury‚ free radicals and reactive oxygen species injury‚ and chemical injury. The most common form of cell injury is hypoxic injury‚ or

p.92\ 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.

Cell Biology Oct.3/14 Cell Cycle part 3: Apoptosis 2 Main ways cells will die: apoptosis is regulated‚ nacrosis is an “explosion” Apoptosis Part of controling number of cells. Importance in balance.“Programmed cell death” – important because if the cell isn’t intact you don’t want cell to divide and keep mutations going‚ to avoid inflammatory response (caused by cells that exploded/necrosis).. ect. Necrosis is triggered by something unplanned‚ leading to decrease ATP‚ pumps‚ atpase activity

October 2014 Cell Division Mitosis Abstract Mitosis and Meiosis: Cells can be divided in unicellular organisms or in multi-cellular organisms. DNA controls the cell division. Bacteria reproduce by a process called binary fission. Bacteria have one chromosome that’s attached to the cell membrane. The chromosome replicates and the two copies separate as the cell grows. Over a period of time this one cell makes two cells. Eukaryotes do the process of mitosis. In mitosis‚ each daughter cell gets about

Mastering Concepts 8.1 1. Explain the roles of mitotic cell division‚ meiosis‚ and fertilization in the human life cycle. Mitosis allows for growth and repair from the fertilized egg to the adult. In reproductively mature individuals‚ meiosis creates gametes with half the genetic material. The male gamete then fertilizes the female gamete during sexual reproduction‚ forming a zygote with a full set of genetic material. 2. Why are both cell division and apoptosis necessary for the development
