How does a cell become specialized?
1. Growth
2. Asexual reproduction
3. Increases the number of cells – as a result of mitosis
4. Cells increase in size during G1 and G2 phase
1. It is a lysosome
2. It moves towards the cell membrane and fuses with it
3. Releases its enzyme by exocytosis
4. Cortical reaction occurs i.e. the zona pellucida hardens forming a fertilization layer
5. This prevents polyspermy
POLYGENIC INHERITANCE
1. Risk of rejection
2. Risk of disease transmission
3. May cause cancer to develop
TISSUE – A group of similar cells that work together for a common function.
Applications of STEM CELL THEORY
ENDEMIC – Species that can be found in one specific location in the wild
NICHE – Role of an organism within its ecosystem and how the organism interacts with its environment.
Structure of CELLULOSE
EXOCYTOSIS – Fusing of vesicles with the cell surface membrane for the secretion of substances such as
enzymes from cells.
POLYGENIC INHERITANCE – Its when one characteristic in controlled by more than one gene at different
loci. It leads to continuous variation.
Structure of XYLEM
Due to small gene pool, there’s less chance of having advantageous alleles, possibly of extinction.
1. Photosynthesis
2. To maintain turgidity.
3. Cooling
4. Hydrolysis
5. Transport / medium of chemical reaction.
1. Cellulose microfibrils
2. They are parallel to each other in layers. This gives flexibility.
3. The mesh/ cris cross manner of microfibrils in secondary cell wall gives strength.
4. Cellulose microfibrils are embedded in pectin.
1. By determining species diversity which is done by counting number of species in a given land.
2. By determining genetic diversity which is done by determining number of different alleles within
a gene pool of species.
