Cell

A cell can be defined as the structural life unit which make part of every individual organism.

Cellular metabolism

Cellular metabolism refers to a set of reacting chemicals which take place in living organisms so

that life is maintained. It involves a complicated series of biochemical reactions which are

controlled, otherwise better acknowledged as metabolic pathways.

Cell injury or damage

Cell damage which can also be referred to as cell injury refers to a variety of transformations

which makes a cell experience suffering because of both external and internal environmental

transformations. These changes can be as a result of nutritional, physical, infectious,

immunological, chemical and biological factors.

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

A prokaryote can be defined as a unicellular organism which has a nucleus that is not bound by a

membrane, mitochondria or any organelle which is membrane-bound.

Eukaryotes are organisms which consists of cells where DNA makes part of the genetic material

in chromosomes form confined inside a distinct nucleus. All organisms are Eukaryotes except

archaea and eubacteria.

Membrane transport

Membrane transport can be defined as the collection of techniques that control solute passage in

form of ions and tiny molecules via biological membranes.

Distribution of body fluids

Body fluid distribution can be divided into two general divisions: extracellular fluid and

intracellular fluid. Body fluids moves across cellular areas within the body as they channeled

through semipermeable membranes.

Cell structure and function

The cell structure is made up of three parts: The cell nucleus, the cell membrane and the cell

cytoplasm. Cell structures offers storage and areas of work for the cell. The task and storage

features of the cell referred to as organelles, are mitochondria, ribosomes, centrioles, Golgi

bodies, lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum.

Reproduction or cell cycle

Reproduction of the cell can be defined as the cell life cycle. This is the process of cell growth

and cell development between the period of its birth, division of the original cell and cell cycle

division in order to come up with two other daughter cells.

Acid-base balance

Every living organism requires the correct acid-base balance in order to efficiently operate. This

is therefore referred to as acid-base balance.

Cell-to-cell adhesion

This can be defined as the process where cells associate and connect to the surrounding cells via

molecules which are specialized on the surface of the cell.

Tissue

A tissue refers toa cellular structural level among cells and a comprehensive organ.

Electrolytes

The body contains minerals which contain an electric charge. These minerals are referred to as

Electrolytes.
