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

means that the fastest responses to cold will be in the face‚ and specifically the nose. The skin consists of 3 main layers; the epidermis‚ dermis and hypodermis (also known as the subcutaneous). The epidermis consists of dead and nearly dead skin cells which protects us from injury‚ infections‚ fluid loss... acting as a barrier. The Dermis is the skin layer which contains most of the nerve cells‚ hair follicles‚ sweat glands and many others. The Hypodermis layer is not really a skin layer‚ it attaches

Cell Surface Glycoprotein Receptor Analysis Using Concanavalin A Purpose: During this experiment we compared the hemagglutination reaction of control Con A solution at 2 mg/ml in Con A buffer with the hemagglutination reaction of your own purified Con A sample that you diluted previously at 2 mg/ml in Con A buffer. The purpose of this lab was to determine the strength of the reaction by performing serial dilutions on both the Con A sample and the control Con A sample‚ and determine through observations

these factors can lead to imbalances in other areas as well (Wise‚ 2010). The importance of this lab is to analyze factors that may affect urine concentration‚ pH‚ and rate of production (flow rate) though multiple scenarios over a period of 60 minutes. My hypothesis for the urine analysis experiment is that the urine volumes will increase because of the increase of fluids to the body for groups 1 and 3‚ in comparison with the control group (group 4)‚ and decrease in the group not group 2 based on

oxygen concentrations and their functions during the act of breathing. Introduction: Humans‚ like all living organisms need‚ O2 in order to live‚ they take the necessary O2 from the atmospheric air. The O2 is transferred from the blood to all cells of the body and serves for oxidation of nutrients for example glucose. By oxidize the nutrients released energy‚ which is necessary for the functions of the human body. During oxidation produces CO2‚ which in high concentrations is harmful to the

potential difference in voltaic cell. Aim: To investigate the effect of concentration of electrolyte of the potential difference in voltaic cell. Introduction: Chemical reactions involving the transfer of electrons from one reactant to another are called oxidation-reduction reactions or redox reactions. In a redox reaction‚ two half-reactions occur; one reactant gives up electrons (undergoes oxidation) and another reactant gains electrons (undergoes reduction). Voltaic cell is a device in which a

In a flowering plant‚ the water travels from the soil‚ then to the root hairs‚ next to the xylem‚ then into the stomata‚ to the mesophyll cells‚ next to the stoma‚ then finally into the atmosphere. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through semipermeable membranes. Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the leaf. Cohesion is when water molecules stick together. Adhesion is when water

Title: Homeostasis Date: 19th January 2010 Aim: To observe‚ draw and label the parts of a nephron. Apparatus: Slide of the transverse section of a kidney Pencil Paper Microscope Method: The slide of the transverse section of a kidney was mounted on the microscope and observed under high power. Drawings of the parts of the nephron were made. Calculations of Magnification: Loop of Henle One Ocular Division = 0.22 µm Size of Specimen = 2 ocular divisions Conversion of Ocular

GAIN MUSCLES. Introduction. The assignment topic touches on a very important part of the human body a muscle. This is a soft tissue found on most animals and is made of cells that contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another‚ producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell. It function to produce force there location on the body or according to the functions and roles they play. They are the cardiac muscles (muscles covering the heart)‚ the
