Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- Other organisms, such as humans, are multicellular, or have many cells—an estimated 100,000,000,000,000 cells! Each cell is an amazing world unto itself: it can take in nutrients, convert these nutrients into energy, carry out specialized functions, and reproduce as necessary.
- Each Cell is given a GUID, a global identifier.
- So, the cell cycle consists of: G1 = growth and preparation of the chromosomes for replication S = synthesis of DNA (and centrosomes) [see DNA Replication] G2 = preparation for M = mitosis When a cell is in any phase of the cell cycle other than mitosis, it is often said to be in interphase.
- The Cell's basic architecture The basic architecture of the Cell is described by IBM as a "system on a chip" (SoC) design.
- The silicon in a solar cell is modified slightly so that it will work as a solar cell.
