Hydrogen cyanide prevents this lung clearance system from functioning properly hence poisonous chemicals in tobacco smoke can pile up inside the lungs. Other chemicals in cigarette smoke that harms the lungs include nitrous oxide‚ hydrocarbons‚ organic acids‚ oxidizing agents and phenols. Free radicals

DEFINITIONS * Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms‚ including their structure‚ function‚ growth‚ evolution‚ distribution‚ and taxonomy. * The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing (except virus‚ which consists only from DNA/RNA covered by protein and lipids)‚ and is often called the building block of life. Organisms can be classified

Cancer What is cancer? Cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of unusual cells in a part of the body. It is a disease of mitosis‚ which begins when one cell is transformed from a normal cell to a cancerous cell. Mitosis is a type of cell division which has 6 steps (Interphase‚ Prophase‚ Metaphase‚ Anaphase‚ Telophase‚ and Cytokinesis) that result in two daughter cells that are clones of the parent. Cancerous cells do not abide by the normal instructions of mitosis. Instead‚ the

relationship between “biology” and kinship systems? A. Kinship can be defined as society acknowledging biological connections between people. This view however has been challenged because kinship systems are regarded now as too complex. C. Levi-Strauss (1963) argued; “Kinship…only exists in human consciousness.” The correct way of studying the relationship between biology and kinship systems can only be made by looking at particular societies and cannot be made universally. Biology may have very little

1. There are two main types of cells‚ prokaryotic and eukaryotic. The connection between the two can be seen right from their prefixes‚ pro meaning before and eu meaning true or good. This is because prokaryotic cells are before a nucleus and eukaryotic cells possess a true nucleus. This has led to many theories that eukaryotic cells have evolved from prokaryotes. The evidence for this is most noticeable in the structure of the cells‚ which will be compared below. Prokaryotic cells have no

relationships and romance. “Living apart together” or L.A.T is the term used to describe the modern relationship‚ where two people are in a relationship but live separately.

Discuss the role of the membrane in the movement of materials through each of the following processes: a.) Active Transport b.) Passive Transport All living cells contain a plasma membrane‚ which acts a boundary for the cell. The plasma membrane regulates the cell’s chemical composition because it uses selective permeability to allow certain substances to enter or exit the cell
