  2. Cell plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_plate

    As the cell plate matures in the central part of the cell, the phragmoplast disassembles in this region and new elements are added on its outside. This process leads to a steady expansion of the phragmoplast and, concomitantly, to a continuous retargeting of Golgi-derived vesicles to the growing edge of the cell plate. Once the cell plate ...

  3. Biological illustration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_illustration

    Many details must be discussed between the artist and scientist before a final drawing can be completed, and additional preliminary drawings must be prepared in order to work out aesthetic details. Pen and ink (often a flex nib fountain pen) line illustrations are clean, crisp, clear, and inexpensive to produce, making them ideal for biological ...

  4. Petri dish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petri_dish

    A Petri dish (alternatively known as a Petri plate or cell-culture dish) is a shallow transparent lidded dish that biologists use to hold growth medium in which cells can be cultured, [1] [2] originally, cells of bacteria, fungi and small mosses. [3] The container is named after its inventor, German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri.

  5. Science fair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fair

    A science fair or engineering fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the practices of science and engineering for themselves. In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards makes experiencing the practices of science and engineering one of the three pillars of science education.

  6. Cell spreader - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_spreader

    Cell spreaders In microbiology , a cell spreader or plate spreader is a tool used to smoothly spread cells and bacteria on a culture plate , such as a petri dish . A Drigalski spatula is a cell spreader consisting of a cylindrical rod or wire bent in the shape of a triangle with a handle.

  7. Draw plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draw_plate

    This must be done because drawing wire hardens it, which causes the wire to become brittle. Brittle wire that has not been annealed may snap during the drawing process (or develop microscopic or macroscopic cracks, which may weaken the piece or "grow" with further working). With a mandrel, a draw plate can be used to draw tubes of metal. Plates ...

  8. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells. [1] Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle in which the cell grows and replicates its chromosome(s) before dividing.

  9. Growth medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_medium

    An agar plate – an example of a bacterial growth medium*: Specifically, it is a streak plate; the orange lines and dots are formed by bacterial colonies.. A growth medium or culture medium is a solid, liquid, or semi-solid designed to support the growth of a population of microorganisms or cells via the process of cell proliferation [1] or small plants like the moss Physcomitrella patens.
