Main Ideas:
- All living things come from other living things
- The synthesis of substances by living organisms
- Growth of an organism
- Replace old/worn out cells
- Two types of eukaryotic cells in your body: Body Cells: skin cells, nerve cells, muscle cells, Sex Cells: reproductive cells: sperm, egg, or pollen
I don't know much about Biogenesis but it seems to be based on Cell Reproduction and the growth of organisms, it also explains that living organisms can only be produced by another living organism. I learned that cells reproduce asexually by dividing, meaning that no intercourse is required and that the divided cell is a perfect copy. Some purposes of cell division are growth of an organism, to replace old or worn out cells, and to repair damaged tissues. One thing that surprised me was that cells usually stay small in size to efficiently transport materials like waste, food, water, and oxygen, I knew that cells transported materials throughout the body but I didn't know that they had to be small in particular. I liked researching and learning more about Biogenesis (Cell Reproduction), I feel like this is something that we need to know about our body and how it heals, grows, and reproduces. I think Cell Reproduction can be used to make new cells for specific parts of the body or modify a current body cell to be immune to say a disease or disorder that could make you sick.

For some people, does their body not produce cells on their own? Such as a disease?
ReplyDeleteYes, either they lack a certain number of cells or a mutation has occurred which either makes cells grow rapidly or kills them (cancer)
DeleteReally good blog!!!!! Why do living things only come from other living things?
