lattice structure and unit cell

Space Lattice and Unit Cell - The constituent particles of a crystalline solid are arranged in a definite fashion in the three dimensional space. One such arrangement by representing the particles with points is shown below: fig 2.1 Such a regular arrangement of the co..

Cells vary in shape and size. They may be oval, spherical, rectangular, polygonal, spindle shaped, star shaped, rod-shaped or totally irregular like the nerve cell. The diversity in cells is in accordance with the role or function it has to perform as part of the tissu..

>Plastids are spherical or oval cell organelles found only in plant cells. Plastids are of two types: leukoplasts without any colouring pigments and chromoplasts containing colouring pigments. The most familiar chromoplasts are the chloroplasts containing chlorophyll. Lysosomes ..

The cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of living organisms. Cells need energy for active transport, to move molecules between the environment and the cells across cells or within cells. Cells o..

Cell - A Unit of Life - Organisms may be broadly classified into two kinds: Unicellular Multicellular Ameoba Chlamydomonas Parameci..

All living organisms are composed of structural and functional units called cells. The body of a living organism may be composed of a single cell - as in unicellular organisms or many cells - as in multicellular organisms. The number of c..

Why are Organisms Composed of Cells? - All living organisms are composed of structural and functional units called cells. The body of a living organism may be composed of a single cell - as in unicellular organisms or many cells - as in mu..

All living organisms, whether plants or animals, are made up of microscopic units called cells. The cell occupies the same central position in biology as the atom in the physical sciences. All living beings, plants and animals, start their life with a single cellh..

Each cell whether in a unicellular form like Gleocapsa or multicellular form like Nostoc, has a definite cell wall. Most often it is surrounded by a thin or thick mucilagenous sheath. The inner layer of cell wall has a chemical composition similar to bacterial cel..
