Eukaryotic cells are found in every domain with the exception of the Bacteria and Archea domain. Eukaryotic cells differ from prokaryotic cells in two major ways; size, and the presence of a membrane surrounding the nucleus, and other organelles.

All neurons within the nervous system must demonstrate three main qualities. Any neuron can respond […]

A cell is one of the most rudimentary elements of any living organism. Each part of the human body contains specific types of cells that help it function properly. These types of cells form functional tissues, tissue organs, organs, organs that function as systems, and functional systems that form a living organism. Some organisms are […]
Nucleotides are a specific type of molecule that plays an important role in the development and maintenance of RNA and DNA in the body. Nucleotides are essential to life. Nucleotides, aside from being present in both RNA and DNA are involved in the enzyme reactions in the body, the production of chemical energy, and the […]
