Cell Reproduction Dr. Susan Kennedy Introduction to Biology January 28‚ 2012 Introduction Cellular reproduction is the process by which cells duplicate their contents and then divide to yield two cells with similar‚ if not duplicate contents. Life as we know it depends on the ability of cells to store‚ retrieve and translate the genetic instructions required to make and maintain a living organism. In this assignment‚ I will discuss two different types of cell reproduction

EXPLORING THE EGG CELL By: Christina Vu SNC2D3 Mr.Ram FUNCTION OF THE EGG CELL: The egg cell is the female gamete used for sexual reproduction. The egg cell is responsible for providing half of the genetic material required for reproduction. When the egg cell joins with the sperm cell.... The egg cell is large and bulky structure which allows the sperm cell to get in easily. WHAT ORGANELLES DOES AN EGG CELL HAVE AND THEIR FUNCTION? Mitochondria: Produces energy for the cell by a process called

continuous throughout the whole plant. The difference between the Xylem cell and other cells is that the Xylem is dead and has no cytoplasm. The Xylem is responsible for transporting water and certain nutrients form root to plant. Phloem carries soluble organic material i.e. food for the plant. The top of the plant is in the light‚ conducting photosynthesis and helping the plant reproduce. There are two types of vascular tissues‚ together they for vascular bundles and are responsible for the survival

SPECIALIZED CELL ANIMAL Sperm cells PLANT Xylem cells are specialised to find a female cell (egg cells) and join with it. They have tails‚ that makes them move in water to find and fertilize the female cell. They can move because they have many mitochondria located between the tail and the head‚ which gives them energy. In the head‚ there is a vacuole filled with acrosome‚ which is a specialized Lysosome that releases enzymes in order for the Sperm Cell to break into the Egg Cell‚ through the

Plant Cell>>Factory A:Nucleus>Main Office The main office of a factory regulates all activities‚ and controls everything that happens inside the factory‚ as does a nucleus in a Plant cell. B:Cell Membrane>Guard The guard of a factory protects the factory from harm‚ and checks trucks‚ that are coming in‚ for anything that could harm the factory‚ as does the cell membrane of a Plant cell. C:Nucleolus>Boss The boss of a factory controls the office and has a high authority in the factory

Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to generate new cells of any kind during early life and growth. There are about 200 different types of cells in the body; such as muscle‚ skin and brain cells. Most of these cells have to be repaired or replaced once in a while. For example our taste buds are replaced every 10 days‚ skin cells every couple of weeks and liver cells every 300-500 days. Stem cells serve as an internal repair system dividing essentially without limit to replenish

Eukaryotic Cells Worksheet Provide a list describing at least three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells: 1. While Prokaryotes contain just one copy of each gene‚ eukaryotic cells have two. For such reason‚ prokaryotes are known as haploid and eukaryotic as diploid. 2. While Prokaryotes see some nonessential genes being encoded into extra-chromosomal plasmids‚ such activity is typically absent in Eukaryotic cells. 3. The own way DNA is present in each type of cell has different

Quest 1-2: Describe the fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane structure and list the major components of the membrane. How did scientists discover that the membrane was “fluid”? Explain one experiment that we discussed. • The fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane was the idea that lipids or proteins could move in the membrane laterally. The plasma membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer and controls a lot of what goes in and out of the membrane by the organelles from within. The bilayer is considered

Biology- cell organelles assignment Animal cells: Introduction: An animal cell is called a eukaryotic cell; it has a cell membrane‚ cytoplasm and a nucleus. The cell surface is covered by a membrane only. The cell membrane is strong and keeps the cell together even though it is thin and flexible. The cell membrane also controls what goes in and out of the cell e.g. nutrients go in and waste comes out. The cytoplasm is inside the nucleus and it controls the cells activities. An animal is
