Experiment title: Preparation of Biological Materials for Microscopic Examination Objectives: 1. To learn how to use a microscope. 2. To study the cell structure of starch grains‚ onion cells and cheek cells. 3. To differentiate the difference between starch grains‚ onion cells and cheek cells. Introduction: Microscope is an optical instrument use to magnify micro objects that hardly or impossible to be observed by naked eyes‚ so that the objects can be studied. Compound light microscope

Review Sheet Exercise 1 Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability Activity 1: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) • Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion: Two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are size and concentration gradient. The molecular size vs the MWCO size of the membrane can either increase‚ decrease‚ or prevent diffusion. The greater the concentration gradient the greater the diffusion rate due to molecules moving from areas of higher concentration

oxidized and thus causes reduction ELECTROCHEMISTRY INVOLVES TWO MAIN TYPES OF PROCESSES: A. Galvanic (voltaic) cells – which are spontaneous chemical reactions (battery) B. Electrolytic cells – which are non-spontaneous and require external e− source (DC power source) C. BOTH of these fit into the category entitled Electrochemical cells GALVANIC CELLS Parts of the voltaic or galvanic cell: o Anode--the electrode where oxidation occurs. After a period of time‚ the anode may appear to become smaller

Sickle Cell Anemia is a hereditary disease that changes the smallest and most important components of the body. A gene causes the bone marrow in the body to make sickled shapes‚ when this happens; it causes the red blood cell to die faster. This is what causes Hemolytic Anemia. Older children and adults with sickle cell disease may experience a few complications‚ or have a pattern of ongoing problems that shorten their lives. The most common and serious complications of sickle cell disease are anemia

The cells of the adaptive immune system are special types of leukocytes‚ called lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes‚ B cells and T cells‚ which are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response‚ whereas B cells are involved in the humoral immune response. The surface of each lymphatic cell has receptors that enable them to recognize foreign substances. There are two major subtypes of T cells: the helper T cell and

Cell Fusion Introduction: The fusion of cells is a fundamental biological event that is essential for a variety of developmental and homeostatic processes. The importance of cell-cell fusion during development and disease is displayed in a variety of biological processes including‚ but not limited to‚ fertilization‚ development of tissues‚ the immune response‚ and aspects of tissue regeneration due to stem cells (Chen and Olson‚ 2005). Fertilization‚ which is the fusion of sperm and egg‚

being engaged on their cell phones by being socially active on Facebook‚ Twitter‚ Instagram‚ etc. which definitely distracts them from studies. Most teen’s grades have dropped dramatically because of cell phone use. Some students take a great advantage of these devices while others misuse it by visiting inappropriate sites which results in bad academic performance. A cell phone is also a luxury for a student. A few hours a day without a cell phone will not kill anyone. Ringing cell phones can disrupt

Practical Nurse Exit Option Practical Nurse Exit Option It’s with great privilege to be in the profession of nursing. I am glad to have made it this far where I can finally put my skills‚ knowledge and compassion into practice as a Practical Nurse. In being a Practical Nurse‚ it requires for one to practice within state regulations such as the Nurse’s Practice Act and follow definite guidelines mandated by the Arizona State Board of Nursing.

Cell phones has affected the way we socialize these days; if you notice people are starting to text their friends and family instead if actually speaking verbally. You go out to dinner and look around and see people out with family but there is no conversations going on at the table mostly just huh… yeah… mmhm..‚ because they are busy texting someone not there on their phones. I feel human communicant is slowly disappearing among friends and family. You even see parent’s texting their kids when in
