  2. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    20 nm – length of a nanobe, could be one of the smallest forms of life; 20–80 nm – thickness of cell wall in Gram-positive bacteria [74] 20 nm – thickness of bacterial flagellum [75] 22 nm – the average half-pitch of a memory cell manufactured circa 2011–2012; 22 nm – smallest feature size of production microprocessors in ...

  3. List of animals by number of neurons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_by_number...

    Neurons are the cells that transmit information in an animal's nervous system so that it can sense stimuli from its environment and behave accordingly. Not all animals have neurons; Trichoplax and sponges lack nerve cells altogether. Neurons may be packed to form structures such as the brain of vertebrates or the neural ganglions of insects.

  4. Cell sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_sorting

    Methods of cell sorting fall into two major categories: fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and immunomagnetic cell sorting. [2] Due to many years of refinement and increased demand for cell separation however, researchers are working to develop microfluidic sorting devices that have many benefits in comparison to the main types of fluorescence-activated cell sorting and immunomagnetic ...

  6. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life. Every cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane; many cells contain organelles, each with a specific function. The term comes from the Latin word cellula meaning 'small room'. Most cells are only visible under a microscope.

  7. Biological organisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_organisation

    Multiple macromolecules form a cell, like a club cell. A group of cells functioning together as a tissue, for example, Epithelial tissue. Different tissues make up an organ, like a lung. Organs work together to form an organ system, such as the Respiratory System. All of the organ systems make a living organism, like a lion.

  8. List of battery sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes

    The Headway 38120HP cells are used in high-discharge environments as they have very good continuous/peak discharge rates (10C/25C). Because four cells in series produces a voltage range similar to 6 cells of lead-acids and their fire-resistant properties, they can be used to replace a 12 V lead-acid car battery.

  9. Orders of magnitude (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(mass)

    An overview of ranges of mass. To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following lists describe various mass levels between 10 −67 kg and 10 52 kg. The least massive thing listed here is a graviton, and the most massive thing is the observable universe.
