Why are we studying cells…

The purpose of studying cells is because it is apart of our body and nature. Cells are a significant part of life to study about because they help you understand more about our body cells, animal cells, plant cells, and etc. As you study cells you will learn about:

the life of cells different types of cellshow cells functionhow they develop the purpose of cells

HOW DO CELLS FUNCTION…

Cells have many functions. They do many different things in plenty of ways. Did you know that muscle and nerve cells don’t divide. Muscle cells in your body don’t divide in your body and nerve cells. Skin cells copies its DNA and gets ready for cell division. A cell plate develops in the middle of a cell for plant cells. Cell membranes develop inside the cell walls. As you can see each cell has its different type of ways of functioning. Each cell is capable of doing many things.

What are cells composed of…

Inside cells they contain many different elements. Such as nucleus, chromosomes, sulfur, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous, etc. Cells also contain the cell wall. Cells can be composed with many things that make up a cell. That means that plant, animal, and body cells contain many unique elements inside of each and one of those cells.

What are the functions of cells…

Cells function in different type of ways. One way cells function is in a cycle. A cell cycle for some human cells takes almost about sixteen hours. Some cells in plants take almost nineteen hours. The cell cycle has three parts which are mitosis, interphase, and cytoplasm division. Each cell is capable of a different job to accomplish in order to keep the cell cycle going.

Cell division…

Cell division is a process in which cells divide. Organisms start off as only one cell, then that cell divides and eventually becomes two cells, after the two cells form they turn into four cells, four cells start to become eight, and it keeps going on. Through this process the organism keeps developing and growing. To sum it all up cell division basically is the way a single celled organism creates another organism of its kind. The purpose of it is to replace worn out cells with new cells.

Parts of plants and animal cells…

There are different parts in plant cells and animal cells. In animal cells it has centrioles, and the cell membrane pinches in the middle then the cell divides directly at the pinched area to develop two new cells, and in each new cell it contains half the cytoplasm from the old cell. In plant cells there is a cell plate that forms in the middle of the cell. The cell plate divides the cytoplasm into two separate parts, and cell membranes form inside cell walls when new cell walls develop along the cell plate.

Single cells…

Single cells contain the most bacteria in side of it. The single cell is only one cell. The bacteria only applies to single cells and if a cell has more than one cell than that cell contains no bacteria in it since it is not a single cell.

Multi cellular…

Multi cellular organisms are organisms that consist of one cell or more, also in contrast to the single celled organisms. Multi cellular also have a set of cells that specialize in the cell reproduction. Most animal cells and plant cells are multi cellular because they consist of more than one cell.

Parts of the plant cells…

Plant cells have plenty of different parts. One part is a cell plate which forms in the middle of that cell. Another part is called the cytoplasm and the cell plate divides cytoplasm into two parts. The other part is the cell wall forming right along the cell plate.

How are cells classified…

Cells can be classified in several ways. Like plant cells or animal cells. Also body cells, nerve cells, muscle cells, DNA cells, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells, complex cells, early cells, simple cells, nucleated eukaryotic cells, non-nucleated prokaryotic cells, and etc. The different types of cells have plenty of thing in common.
