Too many subheadings?
if anyone knows how to cut and paste good pics let me know. i am going to see today if i can try and do it. maybe i will maybe i won't we will have to see. but if anyone knows how to do it help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like your outline. I'm wondering if the Contents for the chapter is a bit busy because of all the sub-subheadings (such as one for each organelle). I am not suggesting getting rid of any information, but I am wondering if instead of creating subheadings for each organelle just have it stand out within the text. Currently you have them as sub-subheadings with four = signs. Maybe create some headers that don't get picked up by the Contents, and just lump them all under the Organelles section. Perhaps something like: Write all about the mitochondria down below. Or maybe something like:
 * Mitochondria
 * Endoplasmic reticulum
 * You could indent all the text about each organelle if you wanted. For the heading I don't know if you want the bullet style as above or it may be sufficient to just bold the text. What do you think?

One other thought: since it is human physiology I would not include anything on chloroplasts.

Looking good! Provophys 03:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

HEY THANKS FOR THE INPUT. I WILL TAKE THEM ALL OUT WHEN I CAN GET MORE INFO IN AND MAYBE TRY AND PUT IT TOGETHER. FOR NOW IT KIND OF HELPS ME TO KEEP IT IN ORDER. I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO A CHAPTER. I STILL HAVE THINGS I NEED TO ADD IN. IF YOU HAVE OTHER SUGGESTIONS FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW. BUT HOPEFULLY I WILL PULL IT TOGETHER SOMETIME. OR BY THE END OF THE CLASS THE CHAPTER WILL LOOK GREAT WHEN EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE AT IT. THAN KS

I agree with the too many subheadings. Maybe try to combine them into paragraphs and condense the information. Its good information just too over whelming.

subheadings removed
I copied the section on organelles to Word, did a series of search and replace, and now instead of subheadings for the organelles you have bullet points. Let me know if you want something different. Provophys 21:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC) THANKS KEVIN FOR THE HELP. I AM NOT THE BEST ON A COMPUTER. ANY HELP I CAN GET IS WELCOME. IT LOOKS GREAT. LAURIE

i ADDED IN A PIC ON THE KREBS CYCLE BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP!
 * I looked around, there is no image by that filename. Are you sure that is the correct name? --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 18:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Ooops
I put them back into subheadings :-/

Didn't check the discussion here (I'm pretty new at this myself) first. I just find it easier to find information you want if it's listed at the top, a lot of people will be coming here for fast information (and you'd be surprised how few people use the search function in their browser).. I've got no problems with anybody undoing it, though.

celltypes.png
I saw that you had a hyperlink here to a picture called "celltypes.png", but it was deleted. I fixed it so that the image is displayed now, and is not just a link. If you dont want to keep the image, feel free to delete it. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 21:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC) I don't seem to be able to add anything in to the discussion page. I just put something in and now it is gone. Thought I saved it. Anyway what I said was thank you to anyone who is helping out here. I appreciate it. We added a picture of the cell structure on Monday or Wednesday. Can't remember what day. Looks good. My computer has been out of comission for a few days. Seems to be up and running now. Will add more in and try and find some more pics. THanks to Whiteknight for the help. keep it coming

There are other images to be found at commons:Category:Cell biology. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 14:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to tell you guys that your page is looking great, I like that you went through and condensed more of the infomation.Trisha83 19:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Looks good
Your chapter has improved so much it is now alot easier to read and not so overwheliming. I really liked that your group listened to the coments and changed things. It has great information and I think you have covered every topic. Linsey88 19:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC) THANKS LINSEY88   I STILL NEED TO ADD SOME MORE INFORMATION I HAVE FOR THE CHAPTER. I HAVE TROUBLE WITH MY COMPUTER AT HOME SOMETIMES AND CAN'T GET IT TO TURN ON AND STAY ON. I AM AT WORK RIGHT NOW!

Note on organelles
The sections on flagella and pili really apply more to bacteria than to humans (or other eukaryotes). The only cells with flagella in humans are sperm cells. I don't think there are any that have pili. Provophys 21:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC) OK I WILL GO BACK AND TAKE THAT PART OUT. THANKS KEVIN. I WILL DO THAT TONIGHT WHEN I GET HOME. I STILL HAVE OTHER INFO TO ADD IN THE CHAPTER. THIS IS KIND OF FUN. WHEN I TOOK MICROBIOLOGY I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE CELL FOR ANYTHING. NOW I FEEL LIKE I GET IT A LITTLE.

WILL TAKE OUT THE PILI, FLAGELLA AND CILIA OUT LATER. I FOUND SOMETHING ON THE SPERM BUT CAN'T FIND IT RIGHT NOW. WHEN I DO I WILL PUT IT IN FOR THE FLAGELLA AND EDIT OUT THE REST

M Sol's review
I think you have a really good start to your chapter i think there was alot covered but you left things that can be added to wich will be good for the team who works on your chapter in the future. I really enjoyed all teh pictures there wee alot of pictures if things I havent seen before it relly made the chapter more intresting great job keepup the good work.

Scott H.'s review
The chapter looks so awesome guys. I can tell you have put a lot of work into it. And it is very inforitive. If I may make one suggestion. ATP is a very important and complex topic. It would be very helpful if you went into deatail on how it is synithized(spelling?) and how it is used. Think about it without ATP life can not exist. Everything that your cells do uses ATP. From moveig a muscle to tasteing food to talking, your cells use ATP to make these things happen. Also it is amazing that cell recycle ATP. If they didn't you would need to eat a ton of food to keep up with the need for ATP. But like I said I really enjoyed the chapter.Scottholmes 00:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Just a note from Leili
I want to thank all the people who have been so generous with their ideas and advice. This whole book thing is a bit intimidating, but I think it's shaping up pretty well. It has been a little bit of a challenge for me as I don't really have access to the Internet except at school and sometimes at my sister's house, but all things considered things are going OK. Thank you once again-Leili

Review
You have done a great job on the chapter. There are quite a few things I learned when revewing it. It would be helpful to have a periodic table. I realize that it takes up a lot room so maby it would be better just to have a link to it or an apendix with it at the end of the book. My compliments on the chapter. --Clareceglanville 03:43, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Phase 2 Review
This chapter really flows good and in lay-man language. By reading thru your chapter I understand what certain cells do and how they work but my main question now is what happens when they dont produce in certain areas for example metabolism there are many disorders there. So my thought would be to go through the subheadings and add just a brief explination of what can go wrong with the cell and what can happen to the person. Good Job, keep up the hard work.--Danyellmarie 18:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Your chapter is great I really enjoyed the read. Wow great pictures they really help you understand, I also like that there is a lot of them. Well I can tell you guys have put a lot into this chapter, good job, it looks great!--Jacquel 02:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Flagellum
Your chapter is awesome! It very organized and flows well together. One thing that stood out to me was your picture of flagella wasn't labled. you had A,B,C,D, but never said their names such as monotrichous or whatever they're called, i really can't remember but i KNOW kevin knows. Good work guys! Keep it up!--Jami_7 22:33, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

flagella/cilia/pili
Only one human cell has a flagellum (sperm), so I removed the picture of the different flagellar arrangements (it is a good picture, but applies to bacteria). Pili are also found only in bacteria, so I deleted that paragraph. I also updated the cilia and mitochondria paragraphs a bit. It would be nice if we could get a better picture of ciliated cells--a scanning electron micrograph of ciliated epithelial cells would be ideal. Provophys 23:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Review
I love the pictures in this chapter! It is a harder chapter to cover because it is so important and you can go into a lot of depth with it as well. I think that your content is wonderful and that it is just enough. Good Job!--JamBam16 00:30, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

RiRi's Comments
I went through and added bullets to things that were grouped together with definitions and I also added some picture toward the end of the chapter. Also I added review questions since there were none. The Next people who take over this chapter, you might want to figure out a better layout for those review question. Sorry i didn't have time. I'm playing catch up on other chapter reviews--{RiRi82 00:18, 3 September 2006 (UTC)}

Question on specialized cells
Under the heading of specialized cells of the human body the only cells that are listed are blood cells exocrine, endocrine, and endothelial cells. What about bone cells, nerve cells, muscle cells, etc? I think a short description of all the main cell types would be nice. Provophys 00:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Kyle's review
There is a lot of information in this chapter. But yet it was still diffcult to find the anwsers to thw questions on the quiz in this chapter. But other then that it looks great

Jody's review
This chapter seems to have made a lot of improvements in the last couple of weeks. I have looked at it several times and like the way it is organized. I know that Kevin had advised us to do more open ended review questions, so it might be nice to change those a little, but I don't know if that is a big deal. It looks great and is very full of information. I think it would also be nice to have a summary for the whole chapter. --Jtervortn 01:53, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
