What arrangement of three cells would result in the longest life?

Three cells in parallel will have a longer life.


Do all cells perform the same function?

Heck no! The simplest human cells are stem cells from which other types of cells may form. Cells have many diverse functions, blood is one example. There are three general types of cells in blood, red cells (erythrocytes), platelets and white cells (lymphocytes). There are 5 major subclasses of lymphocytes, each with particular functions mostly to do with immunity. Red cells carry oxygen and platelets stick together to plug injured blood vessels. Other major categories include muscle cells (two major types - smooth and striated), nerve cells, and skin cells. Many organs have specific types of cells that are unique to that organ's function, including reproductive systems. Move outside the human body and you will see creatures that are only one cell in size which means they must perform all the basic functions for life. Truly amazing.

The stage of the cell cycle that occupies most of the cell's life is?

For dividing cells the total length of division in 24 hours. G1 is typically the longest portion of dividing cells and can last up to 10 hours. Depending on the organism S phase can take anywhere from 5 to 6 hours. G2 takes 3-4 hours. and Mitosis takes about 2 hours Non dividing cell will enter into Go. Dividing embryonic cells proceed through g1 and g2 must faster


Is a nucleas found in all cells?

No. None of the bacteria, which are a form of single cellular life, has a nucleus in their cells. Plants, animals, fungi and some single celled organisms do have a nucleus in their cells. This is the major difference between bacteria and all other life.
