carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. In order to function most efficiently‚ haemoglobin needs to bind to oxygen tightly when the oxygen concentration is high in the lungs and be able to release oxygen rapidly in the relatively low partial pressure in the tissues. I will be comparing the structure and function of haemoglobin with the structure and function of collagen‚ which is a structural protein. Collagen’s functions are quite different from those of globular proteins such as enzymes;

gets to a plants cell by diffusion. Both stems and roots contain xylem vessels and phloem tubes. In a stem these are grouped into vascular bundles arranged in a ring. In a root these are arranged in the centre forming a structure called the stele. Xylem tissue has the dual functions of support and transport. It contains several different types of cells these are vessel elements‚ traceids‚ fibres and parenchyma cells. In contrast to this phloem tissue is living and comprises of sieve tubes‚ phloem

Be able to relate routine variations in body structure and functioning to care received by individuals. Case Facts. A certain woman aged 65 years decided to take a trip to Harare the capital city of Zimbabwe. She stayed in Harare for two weeks then flew back to London. Afterwards‚ she reported of having fever whereby blood tests confirmed she had malaria infection. Her GP also noted she was Obese with high blood pressure besides Osteoarthritis.

that lead to bone formation) to become cancerous. They determined this data using a mouse model of osteogenic sarcoma‚ a deadly bone malignancy. Turns out that in mice‚ Notch 1 intracellular domain induces bone tumors 100% penetrance‚ and it seems as though osteosarcoma in mice initiated by Notch activation mimics the human disease. Dr. Brendan Lee‚ the corresponding author of the report‚ says that "This is the first example of Notch1 driving this type of cancer. Our study supports the hypothesis that

How the structure of proteins are related to their functions Rachel Morris The basic building blocks of proteins are amino acids‚ the biuret reaction tests for protein. A solution of sodium hydroxide is added to a sample then a few drops of copper sulphate solution‚ if positive – the solution will turn mauve. There are 20 different amino acids and they can be joined in any order. Therefore there can be many different functions. A protein consists of one or more polypeptide chains (a polypeptide

A megacity is an urban area with a population of over 8 million; examples include Sao Paulo‚ Mumbai‚ Los Angeles and Beijing. However these megacities face problems‚ for example Mumbai is a megacity which is facing problems as a consequence of rapid growth. Within Mumbai there is a slum area‚ Dharavi which houses 600‚000 people in only one square mile land. This has come as a consequence of rural to urban migration; the rural people are attracted to the city by the “bright light syndrome” and the

Question 1 Given what we know about localization of function in the human brain‚ is it scientifically legitimate to categorize people as left-brained or right-brained? Hemispheric lateralization‚ as discovered by Roger W. Sperry (1965)‚ ascribes to the specialization of one cerebral hemisphere or the other in controlling specific functions (Passer‚ Smith‚ Holt‚ Bremner‚ Sutherland & Vliek‚ 2009). In recent years‚ there appears to be a growing phenomenon in the generalization
