Quotes About Cells In Biology

#1. A cell is regarded as the true biological atom.

George Henry Lewes

#2. There's a reason why actors are always dying to work with the Coens. They just set the stage for you to do their best work.

Oscar Isaac

#3. The cause of nutrition and growth resides not in the organism as a whole but in the separate elementary parts - the cells.

Theodor Schwann

#4. One of the central mysteries of biology is why the genome is largely identical from cell to cell, even though cells do different things.

Erez Lieberman Aiden

#5. TP53 seems to encode the greater good, like a suicide pill in the mouth of a soldier that dissolves only when it detects evidence that he is about to mutiny.

Matt Ridley

#6. Developing and having a positive outlook is never a coincidence; it's a choice. You can choose to look horrible or admirable; that is no business of another person. The mind is the distillery, where all choices are brewed.

Israelmore Ayivor

#7. I learned about HeLa cells in my first basic biology class, and I just became completely obsessed with them from that point on.

Rebecca Skloot

#8. It seems that all eukaryotic cells either have, or once had (and then lost) mitochondria. In other words, possession of mitochondria is a sine qua non of the eukaryotic condition

Nick Lane

#9. A key issue in developmental biology at that time was the problem of how cells underwent differentiation, with most workers concentrating on explanations in terms of changes in enzyme and gene regulation.

Paul Nurse

#10. God is an energy, rather than an anthropomorphic being, and God's language is biology. Red blood cells, the principle of magnetic attraction, neurological synapse: each is a miracle, and in each is the presence and flow of God.

Guillermo Del Toro

#11. Synthetic biology can help address key challenges facing the planet and its population. Research in synthetic biology may lead to new things such as programmed cells that self-assemble at the sites of disease to repair damage.

Craig Venter

#12. Until 1985, when my lab found the protein they are made of, aquaporins hadn't yet been identified. There had been a controversy in biology for more than 100 years about how water moved through cells.

Peter Agre

#13. Some cultural phenomena bear a striking resemblance to the cells of cell biology, actively preserving themselves in their social environments, finding the nutrients they need and fending off the causes of their dissolution.

Daniel Dennett

#14. about the biology of stress and recovery, stress seems to have an effect on the brain similar to that of vaccines on the immune system. In limited doses, it causes brain cells to overcompensate and thus gird themselves against future demands. Neuroscientists call this phenomenon stress inoculation.

John J. Ratey

#15. Biology is a software process. Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, each governed by this process. You and I are walking around with outdated software running in our bodies, which evolved in a very different era.

Ray Kurzweil

#16. Being a mom has made me a better person. It's made me more compassionate. It's just awesome. I think I was put here to be a mom.

Stephanie Mills

#17. When most of us hear the word cells, we think biology. I think penitentiary. (It's an occupational hazard.)

Reginald Dipwipple

#18. Were it not for the melanin in our skin, myoglobin in our muscles and haemoglobin in our blood, we would be the colour of mitochondria. And, if this were so, we would change colour when we exercised or ran out of breath, so that you could tell how energized someone was from his or her colour.

Guy Brown

#19. No such thing, the queen said, as too many sequins.

Mark Doty

#20. Trying to understand fundamental processes that take place as organisms develop and how their various cells interact with one another - one can see what happens with those cells by asking questions about the fundamentals of biology.

Martin Chalfie

#21. And you are made of a hundred trillion cells. We are, each of us, a multitude.

Carl Sagan

#22. I was wondering why I wasn't getting the right answers. It was then I realized that I wasn't asking the right people.

Mansi Soni

#23. The complexity of the simplest known type of cell is so great that it is impossible to accept that such an object could have been thrown together suddenly by some kind of freakish, vastly improbable, event. Such an occurrence would be indistinguishable from a miracle.

Michael Denton

#24. The principal result of my investigation is that a uniform developmental principle controls the individual elementary units of all organisms, analogous to the finding that crystals are formed by the same laws in spite of the diversity of their forms.

Theodor Schwann

#25. All of today's DNA, strung through all the cells of the earth, is simply an extension and elaboration of [the] first molecule.

Lewis Thomas

#26. Well, biology is not only about genes and environment, but also cells and the constraints of their physical structure, which we shall see have little to do with either genes or environment directly. The predictions that arise from these disparate world views are strikingly different.

Nick Lane
