without a microscope because they are so small‚ but they are in the air‚ on our skin‚ in our bodies‚ in the ground‚ and all throughout nature. Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms. Their cell structure is unique in that they don’t have a nucleus and most bacteria have cell walls similar to plant cells. They come in all sorts of shapes including rods‚ spirals‚ and spheres. Some bacteria can "swim" around using long tails called flagella. Others just hang out or glide along. Are bacteria dangerous

After a holding period of 18 hours for winter captured crabs and a period of 30 hours for summer captured crabs‚ all individuals were transferred to containers with experimental temperature and salinity levels to begin the experiment. To observe changes due to salinity concentrations over the 48-hour period‚ groups of crabs were exposed to one of the eight salinity treatments‚ and temperature treatments were held constant at 5°C or 15°C to resemble winter or summer field conditions

Artif Biology Project – Do You Agree With the Creation of This Artificial Cell? Introduction The aim for this project is to find out the positive and negative impacts of the creation of a new artificial cell called Cinthya (Annex N.1)‚ how can it be used positively in different fields‚ and at last‚ if I personally agree with the creation of Artificial Cells. In this project I will inform you about the uses of Artificial Cells in medicine and other subjects‚ if there are any drawbacks and finally

regions of membrane lipids involved in cell signaling are called lipid rafts. • Hopanoids are sterol-like molecules found exclusively in bacteria. • Membranes from cells grown in media enriched with stearate are less fluid than normal membranes. This is because the membranes have more saturated fatty acids. • The functions of the biological membrane are : • They contain receptors for the detection of external signals • They provide a means of cell to cell communication • They regulate movement

cCELL PHONES A cell phone is the biggest invention of this century. It changed our lives dramatically and nothing is the same anymore. Especially combining computer and phone made such a different world for everyone. The reason for the invention was to help us communicating easily‚ but in my opinion it also causes us to cut off communication between people. First of all‚ we became virtual humans because we are constantly texting and using social media on our phones‚ we also start having virtual

temperature on the permeability of cell membranes Introduction For my coursework‚ I intend to assess how temperature affects the plasma membrane of a cell. For this I will use the cell of a beetroot. Background What is a cell membrane? The cell membrane‚ also called the plasma membrane is a semipermeable lipid bilayer which is the surface of all cells that surrounds the cytoplasm. The membrane is called a bilayer as it has a double layer of phospholipids. Within the cell membrane there are many biological

Experiment 1 Background Diffusion is a process‚ in relation to the spontaneous movement of molecules from an area of high concentration‚ to an area of low concentration down a concentration gradient. It is a type of passive transport method‚ that requires no cellular energy (ATP). This movement occurs‚ until a state of equilibrium has been established on both sides of the membrane. The diffusion of molecules happens at cellular level‚ through a cell membrane via the pores. The cell membrane

In this experiment‚ one of the big is osmosis‚ and how it had the overall impact in this excitement a little on osmosis. Osmosis takes place when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane in which the solvent can pass through but not the solute. In our experiment‚ we used a sucrose solution that will be a hypotonic concentration of solute. This tells us that the solution has a lower concentration of water than does the cells. Therefore‚ due to osmosis‚ the
