Unit 5
- An illustrated report in cell biology
August 2022
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This illustration report aims to show my comprehension towards cell biology with informative
provision on diagrams and tables by identifying the basic structures of cell, impacts viruses have on
them and sub – cellular structures and organelles of eukaryotic cells. I will also explain cellular
metabolism where I will explain the role of the cell membrane regarding the intake of nutrients and
lose of waste, how animal cells use nutrients to provide energy for growth, movement and cell
division. My report will contain information on cellular growth and division embryonic stem cells. I
will also discuss genetic information in relation to daughter cells.

1.2 Characteristics of living cells.
A cell is simply the smallest or basic unit of life that is responsible for all life’s processes. It is the
smallest unit that can live on its own and make up all the living organisms and tissues of the body. All
cells must carry out all these to function in order to survive; thus
➢ Movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition by using
the “MRS GREN” acronym:
Movement – cells must be able to move
Respiration – vital energy production
Sensitivity – respond to environment
Growth – develop or grow and complexity
Reproduction – continuing in species
Excretion - to remove toxic metabolic waste
Nutrition - they can take in and absorb nutrients
Figure.1.1
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells
Cells can be categorised into two types. The simpler form known as prokaryotic, and the complex
form known as eukaryotic
