    dinoflagellates and green algae. (Pommerville, 2014, p. 185)”. Both processes have different stages to create energy. Cellular respiration has aerobic and anaerobic processes. In the aerobic process, enzymes break down glucose in “presence of oxygen to produce cell energy”. The stages in cellular respiration include glycolysis, transition, Krebs cycle and the electron transport system. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm. During this stage, there is a “conversion of glucose into pyruvate (Pommerville, 2014, p

    WHICH CELL IS THE MOST CRUCIAL TO LIVING ORGANISMS? Anu Bhandary According to the Oxford Dictionary, a cell is defined as “The smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, which is typically microscopic and consists of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane (Dictionary.com, 2016: para.2).” An organism is said to only be classified as living if it contains cells or the products of cells. However, there are two different kinds of cells. One type is prokaryotic cells, these cells do

    as we humans do, as it is hard to extract enough oxygen using their gills. The organelles that have been put into Aqua man from the human cell are Nucleus, Nucleolus, Ribosome, Mitochondria, Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum, Cytoplasm, Lysosome, and Cell Membrane. Each of these have their own function and are part of different sections of the cell. The Nucleus is Master control of the cell. It contains genes, collections of DNA, which determines every aspect of human anatomy

    of the cell. The Nucleus, a membrane-bound structure of a cell, plays two crucial roles in controlling the cell. The nucleus carries the cell's genetic information that determines if the organism will develop, for instance, into a tree or a human; and it directs most cell activities including growth, metabolism, and reproduction by controlling protein synthesis. The presence of a nucleus distinguishes the more complex eukaryotic cells of plants and animals from the simpler prokaryotic cells of bacteria

    Name_______________________Period___________ Chapter 6: A Tour of the Cell Concept 6.1 Biologists use microscopes and the tools of biochemistry to study cells 1. The study of cells has been limited by their small size, and so they were not seen and described until 1665, when Robert Hooke first looked at dead cells from an oak tree. His contemporary, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, crafted lenses and with the improvements in optical aids, a new world was opened. Magnification and resolving power limit

    What is a cell? A cell is “the structural, functional and biological unit of all organisms” (biology-online.org). The millions of cells that compose the body give life. These cells work together in synergy to perform the bodily functions God has given man to maintain homeostasis. The cells that work in harmony consist of an array of cells such as, epidermal, nerve, or muscle. As these various cells work together they form a biological machine to give life. Before the discovery the cell, many had

    Cells, a unique characteristic of life and the start of humanity at its finest. Discovered in 1653, by a man named of Robert Hooke, coined the term Cells and was credited with it as well. The scientist said it reminded him of the cells of a monastery. These building blocks of life could be broken down into several different parts but the main two parts are prokaryote and eukaryote. Prokaryotes are one celled organisms such as bacteria. Prokaryotes are able to thrive in very harsh conditions including

    Chapter 4: Membrane Bound Organelles and Non-Membrane Bound Organelles Membrane Bound Organelles: are contained within an isolated environment surrounded by a membrane. The composition of these organelles differ in composition, shape and enzyme inclusion. Members of Membrane Bound Organelle Systems include the Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Apparatus, Lysosomes, Mitochondria and Peroxisomes. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): is a continuous membrane system which forms flattened sacs within the cytoplasm

    theoretical understanding that the eukaryotic cell came to be from a prokaryotic cell. This idea was brought by Lynn Margulis, who studied the structures of cells in the late 1960’s. While studying the cells, she realized the close resemblance mitochondria, as well as the chloroplasts looked compared to bacteria. Scientists became aware of the similarities at hand and suggested that mitochondria “began from bacteria that lived in permanent symbiosis within the cells” and that chloroplasts eventually “evolved
