The human body is made up of millions of cells. These cells are considered to be the building blocks of

            In the human body alone, there are more than 220 different cell types.    All of these cell types are derived from a cluster of cells known as embryonic stem cells.  These unique cells come from the inner cell mass of what is referred to as a blastocyst. A blastocyst is a young embryo approximately four to five days old.  What makes these cells so

There are many different types of cells in the human body. These cells would not be able to function on their own, they are all part of a large organism that is called - you.

The human body is made up of 100 trillion cells. All cells have the same basic structure (see figure 1) however some cells are specialised to suit a specific purpose. An example of this is the pancreatic beta cells found in the islets of Langerhans. These cells are specialised to synthesise the protein insulin that is involved in the metabolism of glucose in the cells. (Layden, 2010)

b. Is pigment distribution uniformly in each mycelium? If not, where is the pigment concentrated in each mold?

3. Using the human body to compare the cell parts; give 2 cell parts and their human body equivalent.

The human body is made up of millions of tiny cells that can only be seen under a microscope, cell also vary in shape and size. Cells are the basic structural of all living things. The human body is poised of trillions of cells. They give structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body’s hereditary material and can make copies of them. Cells all have different sizes, shapes, and jobs to do. Each cell has a different function. The actual definition of cells is the smallest structural unit of the body that is capable of

Out of a total from 26 sequences only 6 were made up of 4‘s while 20 were composed of different structures of 2‘s. This tells us that 77% of the asci showed crossing over while 23% did not.

become many different types of cells in the human body. What might start off as a stem cell

There are two main types of cells in the world. The simplest cells such as bacteria are known as Prokaryotic cells, and human cells are known as Eukaryotic cells. The main difference between each of these cells is that a eukaryotic cell has a nucleus and a membrane bound section in which the cell holds the main DNA which are building blocks of life.

also the healthy cells such as the hair follicles which are the fastest growing cells in your body.

After the mosquito had finished its meal mama cell noticed a big moving ball coming into the epidermis. Mama cell showed her baby that the Cells above them are flat cells called squamous and that her and baby are round cells called basal. After this mama explained that the epidermis, in which they make up, does not have blood vessels and is keratinized

Every cell in your body contains the exact same DNA (genes). So, since every cell has the same genetic information, how come some cells become brain cells and other cells become heart cells? The answer is the "Epigenome." What the epigenome does is control which genes are active (switched ON) and which genes are inactive (switched OFF). The epigenome turns genes OFF and ON` controlling which genes are active, when they are active, and how long they are

The main focus of this lab was to be able to understand the different phases of mitosis and the cell cycle and also identify what those stages may look like. Mitosis is the process in which concerns the production of new cells. For example, when apoptosis(cell death) the process of Mitosis begins to replace the dead cells. To be able to familiarize ourselves with this concept, we took a sample of an onion root and had it put through a process to be able to look at the different phases under the microscope. We found that the majority of the cells were mostly undergoing Interphase or Prophase which are the phases in charge of crossing over of DNA and where the chromosomes then become visible and the nuclear envelope dissipates. The conclusion of this lab was that Mitosis is essential for the production of new cells. In the case of the onion root sample, the cells were damaged leading to the tester to undergo Mitotic cell division and it was found that mainly Interphase and Prophase were the stages that occurred in this lab.

this research would be to identify the factors that are involved in the cell making process that determines cell specialization. A few of our extreme medical conditions, like birth defects and cancer, are a direct result of abnormal cell specialization. If researchers obtain a better understanding of the normal cellular process, they can isolate the causes of these deadly illnesses. The most exciting potential use for stem cells is the generation of tissues and cells. Many diseases are a direct result from complications of cellular functions or destruction of tissues in the body. Many people donate organs and tissues to replace failing or destroyed tissues. Unfortunately, there are many more people suffering from these disorders than there are organs to transplant. That is where stem cells step in. They will give humans a chance to have a renewable source of cells and tissues that will treat a slue of diseases, and disabilities such as, Parkinson’s, stroke, burns, Alzheimer’s, spinal cord injury, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and
