Today, please fun an interesting fact about cells. The challenge is not to repeat the same fun fact that some one else put in a comment. Please cite your source.
In the animal cell cycle, it takes twenty four hours for the whole cycle to be complete! This means starting from the animal cell formation to when it splits in two to make more cells.
When a cell becomes damaged or undergoes some type of infection, it will self destruct by a process called apoptosis. Apoptosis works to ensure proper development and to keep the body's natural process of mitosis in check. A cell's inability to undergo apoptosis can result in the development of cancer.

Eukaryotic cells are 10 times larger than prokaryotic cells, simply because they have a nucleus! https://sites.google.com/site/learncells/fun-facts-did-you-know
Cells are the fundamental units of life. Whether they be unicellular or multicellular life forms, all living organisms are composed of and depend on cells to function normally. Scientists estimate that our bodies contain anywhere from 75 to 100 trillion cells. In addition, there are hundreds of different types of cells in the body. Cells do everything from providing structure and stability to providing energy and a means of reproduction for an organism. The following 10 facts about cells will provide you with well known and perhaps little known tidbits of information about cells.

Cells have different lifespans, from a few days to a year. When a cell becomes damaged or gets an infection, it will 'commit suicide' and self destruct.

There are about 100 trillion cells in the human body.
Every minute over 200 trillion cells die in our body, but each day 100 thousands more cells come.
The biggest cell in the world is the ostrich egg, which can be seen with your naked eye!

One human cell contains 46 chromosomes, however, some humans have 47 chromosomes, and therefore these people are diagnosed with Down's Syndrome. :(

There are more bacterial cells in the body than human cells.

There aproxatmitly 100,000,000,000,000 cells in the body.
Hi who posted this I do not have a Bear in class

lol you spelt Grylls wrong
Ashley would know. XD
Mitochondria could have lived outside a cell by itself.
Lol Nicole wait do you know who this was? was it you?

There are two different types of reticulum, smooth, and rough.
Never mind this one i noticed this is Anthony's i am going to find another.
Many cells make up one tissue, and many tissues make up an organ, and many organs make up a system!

Cells are too small to be seen without magnification.
"The word cell comes from the latin word cellula, which means small compartment."-http://www.ducksters.com/science/the_cell.php
not sure
cell is apart of the human animal plant body
cells are to small so you need magnifcation
Cells are bigger than bacteria.
Cells make up every living thing.
no
