    Phineas Gage Paper The layout of the brain is more complex than what can see by the human eye. The creation of Neuroscience helped divide the brain into portions and their functions. This sectioning of the brain and the individual functions was proved furthered when the case of Phineas Gage was examined. Role of the Brain in Cognitive Functions The brain is comprised of two hemispheres or halves: the left and the right ("Brain Functions"‚ 2010). The left side of the body is controlled

    carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. In order to function most efficiently‚ haemoglobin needs to bind to oxygen tightly when the oxygen concentration is high in the lungs and be able to release oxygen rapidly in the relatively low partial pressure in the tissues. I will be comparing the structure and function of haemoglobin with the structure and function of collagen‚ which is a structural protein. Collagen’s functions are quite different from those of globular proteins such as enzymes;

    How Primary Structure Determines Protein Function Proteins are everywhere. As enzymes‚ they catalyse chemical reactions. There are many different types of proteins: carrier and channel proteins which transport substances‚ receptor proteins which are recognition site for antibodies and hormones‚ structural proteins which support cells and tissues‚ and hormones which transmit information. Proteins are big molecules with large molecular masses that are made up of many amino acids; they’re‚ essentially

    How is the structure of cells related to their function? Cell structures come in various shapes and sizes dependent on their location within an organism and what life sustaining process it carries out. These can range from the globular protein of a red blood cell‚ designed to carry four oxygen molecules at a time to the tail like flagellum of a bacteria designed for mobility and penetration of organs within a body. There are two main types of cells‚ eukaryotic cells which are generally plant
