Unit 5 Cell Biology
Illustrated Report
, Name: Iqra Ramzan
Introduction
In this illustrated report, I will be demonstrating the purpose of cells and the principles of life. This
report will analyse the characteristics of living cells; compare and contrast prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells, and explain the impact that viruses have on them; an in-depth analysis of eukaryotic
sub-cellular structure and organelles; the role of the cell membrane and how it regulates the entry
of nutrients and removes waste products; how animal cells use nutrients to provide the energy for
growth, movement, and cell division; the role of nucleic acids in the nucleus and cytoplasm; the
synthesis of proteins; the generation of specialised tissues from embryonic stem cells; the process of
interphase and factors that initiate cell division, and their importance; how the same genetic
information is received by each daughter cell; and a comparison of contrast cancer cells with normal
cells.
The utilisation of online articles, diagrams, and tables, in conjunction with the study material
provided by ePearl will assist in presenting my understanding of cell biology.
