defined as the controlled and deliberate manipulation of biological systems (whether living cells or cell components) for the effective manufacture or processing of useful products.” (Dublin City University, 2017) This means, in simple terms, biotechnology is use of living organisms or their products to modify human health and the human environment. It is an incorporation of molecular and cellular biology, plant, animal and human genetics. (S, 2017). The seeds for biotechnology were sown in 1953

Cell Theory Origin The cell theory was not just created by one scientist at one point in time. The cell theory was discovered over the course over hundreds of years, by many scientists, some of whom have never been recorded. The three principles of the cell theory that are used today are: 1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. 2. The cell is a basic unit of life. 3. New cells arise only from cells that already exist. The origin of the biological term cell came from Robert
The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks is a book about the women behind the scientific revolution of using actual cancer cells to perform cancer research. Henrietta Lacks was an African American woman who was barely educated and worked as a tobacco farmer. At the age of thirty she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. In Lacks’ time being uneducated, African American, and a woman was not a great mix. They were often undermined and taken advantage of. When Lacks started to become very ill she went to
the 2009 review article Malaria vaccine: Latest update and challenges ahead from the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. I complemented this with the 1996 research article Cytotoxic T lymphocytes to Plasmodium falciparum epitopes in an area of intense and perennial transmission in Tanzania from the European Journal of Immunology. The review article {1} investigates the importance and complexities of developing a successful vaccine to prevent malaria. It first provides general information about
Observations on the Importance of Cells The English scientist Robert Hooke who used a makeshift microscope of his own invention to examine a variety of objects, including a thin piece of cork, made the first observations of cells in 1665. Noticing the rows of little boxes that made up the dead wood's tissue, Hooke created the term "cell" because the boxes reminded him of the small cells the monks in the monastery lived in. While Hooke was the first to study and describe cells, he did not realize
metabolize. Another structure that is important is the proton gradient and how chemiosmosis drives ATP synthesis that occurs in the mitochondria. The importance of a plasma membrane in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the membrane is a selective barrier which means that it only allows certain molecules enter and exit such as nutrients, oxygen, and wastes to serve the cell. The plasma membrane has hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions and also made up of phospholipids. On the hydrophobic region of the membrane some
the absence of optimum environmental factors, organisms would be compelled to adapt themselves to the prevailing environment. Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are two important chemical reactions for which the environment is of paramount importance. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants synthesize organic compounds, primarily sugars, from carbon dioxide, and water using sunlight and chlorophyll. 6 CO2 + 6 H2O C6H12O6 + 6 O2 Respiration is
Chemistry has been conventionally broken down into five main parts which are: Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Biochemistry. This research paper will predominantly focus on Organic Chemistry and the importance associated with it in some aspects of the modern life of humanity. By definition, organic chemistry is the study of chemical compounds containing carbon bonded with another substance. In simpler words, organic chemistry is a sub-area of chemistry
symbiotic relationship with eukaryotic cells and how mitochondria and their use for cell-independent energy generation was arguably one of the biggest developments in the evolution of simple eukaryotic cells into complex eukaryotic cells. Lane devotes a large part of the start of Power, Sex, Suicide on what he calls “The Quest for a Progenitor” (what Lane calls an ancestor to the eukaryotic cell). He presents many different theories to how the first eukaryotic cell came to being, to which he then explains
