body produces vast amount of hormones to regulate the biochemical processes. One of the crucial hormones which act in endocrine system is the insulin. It is a small protein containing 2 chains of 51 amino acids where A chain with 21 amino acids and B chain with 30 amino acids link together by a disulphide bond. It is produced by the beta cells in pancreatic islets to maintain the blood glucose at optimum level. When there is a rise of glucose in the blood especially after meals‚ insulin works to convert

other cells. Scientists don’t really have a good way of describing how they duplicate‚ but it’s not through normal means. It is sometimes called simple mitosis. On the other hand eukaryotes have a nucleus which contains the DNA and the information necessary to grow reproduce and function. The Information is stored in thin molecules of DNA. This is needed for cells to perform by the cell in the process of life and reproduction. One of the functions of the nucleus is to protect the DNA in the cell from

The cell is the fundamental structural unit of all living organisms. Some cells are complete organisms‚ such as the unicellular bacteria and protozoa; others‚ such as nerve‚ liver‚ and muscle cells‚ are specialized components of multi-cellular organisms. Cells range in size from the smallest bacteria-like mycoplasmas‚ which are 0.1 micrometer in diameter‚ to the egg yolks of ostriches‚ which are about 8 cm (about 3 in) in diameter. Although they may differ widely in appearance and function‚ all cells

Every cell in the body goes through a life cycle. Cells grow and divide to replace cells that are lost because of normal wear and tear or injury to them. All cells grow and die at different rates. The cell cycle can be divided into three periods: interphase‚ the mitotic phase‚ and cytokinesis. During interphase‚ the cell grows‚ accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis‚ preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA. During the mitotic phase‚ the cell splits itself into two distinct daughter

problem we are studying was to determine the cellular damage of various concentrations of propanol‚ ethanol‚ methanol‚ NaCL‚ and sodium dodecyl sulfate henceforth known as SDS on Beta vulgaris to ultimately distinguish the ability of each solution to permeate the membrane of the Beta vulgaris. • Beta vulgaris contains a beta cyanin which is a water-soluble red-pigment‚ which remains in a healthy vacuole surrounded by the tonoplast membrane. When we damage the tonoplast membrane and thus disrupt the

Helix Company produces several products in its factory‚ including a karate robe. The company uses a standard cost system to assist in the control of costs. According to the standards that have been set for the robes‚ the factory should work 780 direct labour-hours each month and produce 2600 robes. The standard costs associated with this level of production are as follows: | | Total | Per Unit of Product | Direct materials | $ | 53248 | $ 20.48 | Direct labour | $ | 8320 |

Beta blockers (β-blockers or BBs) were invented and designed by Sir James Black‚ who was a Nobel Prize winning scientist. Black designed beta blockers to counteract stimulated adrenergic effects. He demonstrated that‚ by blocking the cardiac beta-receptors‚ these agents could cause inhibitory effects on the sinus node (chronotropic effect)‚ atrioventricular node (dromotropic effect)‚ and on myocardial contractility (inotropic effect).1 It is important to note that not all beta receptors (β-receptors)
