Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death that occurs when cells are no longer necessary or damaged. This process can be observed in electron micrographs, which show specific structural changes in apoptotic cells. These changes include the formation of apoptotic bodies and eventual disintegration of the cell.
Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death that occurs in normal development when cells are no longer necessary or damaged.
This process is characterized by specific structural changes in the dying cell, which can be observed in electron micrographs.
Apoptotic cells form apoptotic bodies and undergo disintegration, while necrotic cells lose their plasma membranes without forming 'bodies' and will eventually disintegrate. The differences between apoptosis and necrosis can be seen in electron micrographs of different cell types.
