Cell Biology Notes
Microvilli are small finger-like projections found on cells within the body that help the cells to get nutrition. Microvilli are membrane protuberances that arise from epithelial cells. They are usually … Read more
A cell wall is an outer rigid semi-elastic supportive and protective layer. It is present around the plasma membrane. It provides mechanical support and helps in maintaining the shape of … Read more
The primary cell and middle lamella never occur in the form of a continuous layer, but many minute apertures through the cells of a tissue maintain cytoplasmic relation with each … Read more
Meiosis definition Meiosis is a type of cell division in sexually reproducing eukaryotes, resulting in four daughter cells (gametes), each of which has half the number of chromosomes as compared … Read more
The vacuole is a very large, fluid-filled vesicle which is present in the cytoplasm of a plant cell. The biosynthetic and endocytic pathways form it. The term ‘vacuole’ was first … Read more
Mitosis definition Mitosis is the process of cell division in which one cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells, resulting in cell duplication and reproduction. The number of … Read more
Definition of a plant cell Plant cells are multicellular eukaryotic cells that make up a plant (a group of eukaryotes belonging to the Plantae kingdom, with the ability to synthesis … Read more
What is Telophase? Telophase is the fifth phase of mitosis and the final phase of meiosis as well. In meiosis, there are two phases: telophase I and telophase II. This … Read more
Buffy Coat Definition A buffy coat suspension is a concentrated suspension of leukocytes and platelets that make up a part of the anticoagulated blood sample obtained by the process of … Read more
Cells continuously undergo cell division through which daughters cells arise which mature and also produce their own daughter cells and the cycle continues. The events of the cell cycle involve … Read more
