Skip to contentSharing is caring!This article coversThe cell is the basic unit or building block of living organisms. The cell was first observed and discovered under a microscope by Robert Hooke in 1665. The word “cell” came from Latin, which means “small room.” The cell membrane encloses the content of the cell and separates all biological activities from the outside world. Tiny structural parts inside the cell, called organelles, are involved in various specialized functions to keep the cell alive and active.[In this figure] Left: The compound microscope used by Robert Hooke to...…Skip to contentSharing is caring!This article coversThe cell is the basic unit or building block of living organisms.

Plastic is light, durable, and transparent; however, it creates detrimental problems for our environment. It takes more than decades or even hundreds of years to decompose naturally. It sounds horrible, doesn’t it?

The weather turns warm! Plants begin to grow, and flowers are blooming. Birds and squirrels are busy around the trees. Bugs and creepy crawlies are out. Yes, this is springtime.As scientists, we should take advantage of warming weather and start planning our field research. Here are three Spring science activities for you!Springtime is definitely the right timing to look for all kinds of living creatures.

Some organelles are constantly present in the cell. Some organelles are temporary and only present when cells perform a particular process such as mitosis.
