Biology Question 1

By the way, before I embark on the trip, I have a question to fellow blog-hoppers:


What is the substance that makes brain cells, muscle cells, skin cells, and other types of cells different from each other?


Is it because of genome?

is it because of the nucleus?

Is it because of the physical shape of the respective cells?

Or you have your own theory?

Erm... genome kot? Nt so sure...

Wat's de answer?

tachimurakiyuri said...

Ehhh...

I think I know the answer...I see the question in Biology form 5 book

It says something all cell are the same when created, but to suit certain needs,or in order to survive, they changed

Something was the key for the cells to change, but is the thing genome? then I don't know

Sth like cell-tissue-organ-system-organism la

And same cell might changed to different tissues depending on situation...

Am i right? I think I crap much but realy nth in content...I dunno how to express mah...

answer from an failure engine student

Sanddy,

Wrong. Try again.

Why do you think it's genome?

Pison The Great said...

JK, wut's really ur answer a?

Dun make a blog post here. Keke...

The instruction is crystal clear:

"Leave your comment"

Wahaha...

Kai Xin said...

sounds complex.... ><

haha...

tachimurakiyuri said...

ahhh give up ald

(does it look like a comment....

Pison The Great said...

Cheh... R u dat type who give up easily?

Coward!

Sanddy, try more!!! XD Go, Sanddy, Go!!!

Liz said...

no idea. i think it is a process called 'specialization'. but every process, i think, it somehow 'coded' for action in the genome, so sanddy's answer genome might not be entirely wrong...

what are you doing, a bio quiz on your blog? we should get mr. liew to answer. XD

Pison The Great said...

Wrong.

XD

tachimurakiyuri said...

Another desperate guess

Structure difference make the cell different from each other

Example: Skin cell can reproduce while brain cell cannot

Blood cell are free while muscle cells are attached strongly with one another...

(encountering a bio question in a blog.....=.-

Tell the answer la. I really wanted to give up .......

Pison The Great said...

JK... Wrong again. :P

Does this help? =p I don't understand wth it is though.

Pison The Great said...

Yes... The answer is der, Mei!!!

Liz said...

alar~

have to google for answer geh ah?

SimpleSanddy said...

OMG!!! Wrong wrong wrong...

Dunno leh!!! Wat's de answer. Tell la. Giv up la... *begging for the answer* XD

Yeah, and wat's de answer for that grandma thingy?

*U're driving me crazy!!!*

bruce@shark said...

Hehe.. really ah? Tat's wat engineers do Hafidz. They don't have a clue wth it is. They just know how to google or watever to find the answers. LOLZ! =P

And this engineer here needs to ask u to explain. Too lazy to kaji and figure it out. The professor or who write too deep la.

=p

My answerrrr..

God.

: )

Pison The Great said...

Read carefully, Larry.
