Eukaryote

A cell could be compared as many things like a person,restaurant ,team,and many other things ,but what am going to write about is a space ship.You may be thinking why a space, well a spaceship is as many functions that are very similar as the cells. The membrane is like the force field,because the force field protects the ship from intruders and the membrane protects the cell from anything wanting to get in. The nucleus is like the captain his the one in charge of what the…

The cell wall is only found in plant, bacteria, fungi, algae and other archaea cells. Its main functions are to provide protection and support for the cell. But the cell wall has many other functions as well including intercellular communication, providing shape, they also regulate what gasses can enter each cell. The vacuole hold water in plant cells and the cell wall maintains shape when the vacuole is full. The cell wall also prevents the cell from bursting when the vacuole is fully expanded.…

The general term “microbes,” is used to describe any organism that cannot be seen by the human eye. While individual microbes cannot be seen, these microorganisms usually form colonies in which their species can be observed and categorized. In this experiment, the effect of environmental selection on biodiversity are measured and compared in two locations. The inside of an air vent and the top of a cabinet were passed over with cotton swabs, which were then used to streak agar plates to…

Paramecia, unicellular cilliated protozoa, usually are ovoid and elongated. They widespread in brackish environments and freshwater. Length of the species are various ranging from 50 micrometers to 330 micrometers. They feed on yeasts, algae, and small protozoa which are captured by them through phagocytosis, devouring a particle by “wrapping pseudopodia around it and packaging it within a food vacuole” (Campbell and Reece 2011). They also serve as the models for the study of basic biological…

Today I am going to the science lab because I was chosen to test a machine that would shrink any living organism to a microscopic size. I arrived at the lab and sat in a room with about 4 other test subjects. We were asked to change into these protective suits so we would be kept safe from any harmful substances. We were all told that we would be put into two groups the A and the B group. We would all be put into a Eukaryotic Cell if the machine worked to get a closer look at the organelles in a…

Phagocytosis: The effects of time and Latrunculin on endocytosis. Introduction Phagocytosis is a process in which cells engulfed foreign materials. Eukaryotic cells can engulf different particles and solutes from their environment using a variety of mechanisms called endocytosis. Some cells can carry out large endocytic processes called phagocytosis and micropinocytosis. These processes can internalize particles (>0.5um) whereas internalization of fluids through micropinocytosis mechanisms…

Taxonomy in biology is the study of naming, describing, and classifying new organisms into different branches, Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Throughout history, humans have always classified organisms that they have encountered. One of the first taxonomists was Aristotle, “who organized five hundred types of animals according to habitat and body form” (http://www.biologyreference.com). However, the first modern taxonomist was Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus,…

Bob The Blob and his dog Blobby were green cells that lived in a human named Tyler. It was very strange being a cell. Although, it was almost the same world that humans lived in, just different. For example, instead of roads, they had bloodstreams, instead of humans and their pets, everyone was a cell, just in a different form. Roads still existed and they were still called ‘roads’, or at least by the cells. If you were a human, you’d call it a bloodstream. The small world the cells lived in was…

Chrysanthemum belliam The Chrysanthemum belliam is an organism that belongs to the Domain Eukarya and Plantae Kingdom. Chrysanthemum are flowering plants native of northern eastern Europe and East Asia. However, this particular species of Chrysanthemum, belliam, was recently discovered in the western part of Africa, around the Gold Coast. The coastal climate of this region in Africa has produced an abundance of Chrysanthemum belliam, so lets take an indepth look at this beautiful unique…

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Since time immemorial microorganisms have played a significant role in the life of mankind owing to the production of the myriad enzymes and secondary compounds that they synthesize (Demain 1981). These micro organism live in a highly diverse environment ranging from hot springs to deep ocean sediments. In the hyper diverse environment where one can find a specialized and unique biological niche is the intracellular space between cells of higher plants acts as suite and…
