The Complement System The complement system is a nonspecific defense mechanism activated in response to invading organisms. This system gets its name from the fact that it complements the action of antibodies. It is the primary mechanism activated by antibodies to kill foreign cells by forming membrane attack complexes. In addition to directly lysing the invading organisms it also reinforces the general inflammatory tactics. It can be activated in two ways: 1. A nonspecific innate immune

Genetically Engineered Foods or Organisms Genetically Engineered Foods or Organisms Biological Basis Genetically modified crops (GMCs) are plants having DNA altered through genetic engineering techniques. The goal is to introduce a new desirable trait to a plant that does ordinarily occur in the species. Desirable characteristics include resistance to environmental conditions‚ resistance to diseases and specific pests and production of a particular nutrient. Genetic

CELL THEORY – STEM CELLS Stem cells are a large focus of study in today’s biomedical world. “They are cells that exist in an undifferentiated state‚ and transform into differing tissue types depending on what the cells surrounding them are‚“ (National Institute of Health‚ 2012). Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition‚ they also serve as an internal repair mechanism inside many tissues‚ dividing without

comparison in paragraph form. To guide your summary‚ reflect on the following questions. What does it mean when scientists say that living organisms share a universal genetic code? It means that all extinct organisms have all the same genetic code. How does a universal genetic code relate to the hypotheses about the origin of life on Earth? the near-universal genetic code is that all extant things share some type of common ancestor. How are self-replicating molecules‚ such as RNA molecules

DESCRIBE THE STRUCTURAL COMPARTMENTATION OF MAMMALIAN CELLS AND THE DIFFERING FUNCTIONS OF THESE COMPARTMENTS? Mammalian cells are eukaryotic this means that all of their cells have common components‚ membrane bound organelles which prokaryotic cells do not this is shown in figure 1. Organelles are purpose made to carry out a specific function that is necessary within a cell. Due to the specificity of both conditions and concentrations with in these organelles these are compartmentalized. Encasing

Animal Cells Vs. Plant Cells There are quite a few similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. Whether it be the internal parts of the cells‚ or the processes they go through. They also have differences in shape and sometimes size. These are only a few examples of similarities and differences between the two different cells. To begin with‚ both animal and plant cells are eukaryotic cells. This means that both cells have the same internal features‚ such as a cell membrane‚ a

The Play Station 4 The Play Station 4 is expected to be released around November but theirs is just two problems.. No one really knows what the PS4 is going to look like or exactly how much it’s going to cost but what we do know is some of the new features it’s going to possess. There are going to be many minor changes to the consol but probably one of the more noticeable changes will be the controller. The controller will look similar to its predecessor but there will be some changes to it. Like
