Cell Wall By: BD Editors Last Updated: April 28, 2017 Cell Wall Definition A cell wall is an outer layer surrounding certain cells that is outside of the cell membrane. All cells have cell membranes, but generally only plants, fungi, algae, most bacteria, and archaea have cells with cell walls. The cell wall provides strength and structural support to the cell, and can control to some extent what types and concentrations of molecules enter and leave the cell....

Centromere By: BD Editors Last Updated: April 28, 2017 Centromere Definition The centromere is the point on a chromosome where mitotic spindle fibers attach to pull sister chromatids apart during cell division. When a cell seeks to reproduce itself, it must first make a complete copy of each of its chromosomes, to ensure that their daughter cell receives a full complement of the parent cell’s DNA. The two copies of each chromosome often remain stuck together until they are separated, with one copy going to each daughter cell....

Genetics By: BD Editors Last Updated: May 2, 2017 Genetics Definition Genetics is the study of genes and inheritance in living organisms. This branch of science has a fascinating history, stretching from the 19th century when scientists began to study how organisms inherited traits from their parents, to the present day when we can read the “source code” of living things letter-by-letter. Genetics started out with curiosity about why things are the way things are – why do children resemble one parent more than another?...

Microtubule By: BD Editors Last Updated: April 28, 2017 Microtubule Definition Microtubules are microscopic hollow tubes made of the proteins alpha and beta tubulin that are part of a cell’s cytoskeleton, a network of protein filaments that extends throughout the cell, gives the cell shape, and keeps its organelles in place. Microtubules are the largest structures in the cytoskeleton at about 24 nanometers thick. They have roles in cell movement, cell division, and transporting materials within cells....

Phosphorus Cycle By: BD Editors Last Updated: June 5, 2017 Phosphorus Cycle Definition The phosphorus cycle is the process by which phosphorus moves through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.

For such a relatively young nation (globally-speaking), the United States has seen its share of historic cycles. The same is true for Idaho, despite being one of the youngest states in the country. With boom towns dotting the landscape and the ever-changing face of industry causing a rise and fall of businesses, as well as a surprisingly nuclear past (and present), there are quite a few forgotten and abandoned places hiding throughout the state, if you know where to look....

The film, which had already wrapped filming months ago and was nearly completed, was set to bring a number of firsts into the ever-growing world of superhero blockbusters.

Cell Cycle By: BD Editors Last Updated: May 31, 2017 Cell Cycle Definition The cell cycle is a cycle of stages that cells pass through to allow them to divide and produce new cells. It is sometimes referred to as the “cell division cycle” for that reason. New cells are born through the division of their “parent” cell, producing two “daughter” cells from one single “parent” cell. Daughter cells start life small, containing only half of the parent cell’s cytoplasm and only one copy of the DNA that is the cell’s “blueprint” or “source code” for survival....

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name. Paramount+ announced that its upcoming Frasier revival — which sees Kelsey Grammer reprise his Emmy-winning role as pop psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane — will return to Boston, Massachusetts. The city was the setting for Cheers, which spun off the neurotic Frasier into his own series set in his hometown of Seattle.
