a) Using a human cell of your choice‚ describe how organelles work together to make and secrete a protein (LO1. AC 1.1) An epithelial cell in the thyroid gland‚ called a thyrocyte forms spherical follicles that produce a protein called thyroglobulin. This is a globular protein that has a functional role in metabolism. The protein is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine

el A.) Cell theory : 1.) All organisms are made of cells. 2.) All existing cells are produced by other living thing. 3.) The cell is the most basic unit of life. B.) Contributors to the Cell Theory: People | Information | Hooke | He was the first to identify cells and he also named them. | Leeuwenhoek | He made better lenses so he observed cells in greater detail. | Schledien | He was the first to note that plants are made of cells. | Schwann | He concluded that all living

Presentation A. Entering the epithelia cell of the small intestine‚ until being loaded onto the proper tRNA. Amino acid present in the lumen of the small intestine The goal is to cross through the epithelial cell membrane to enter into the epithelial cell’s cytoplasm – its charged cuz of side chains To get through the membrane the amino acid must cross the Simple columnar epithelial cells lining the apical surface of the small intestinal tract. These cells are impermeable to any harmful bacteria

Blood Cells Leukocytes (WBC’s) Leukocytes also known as white blood cells (WBCs) are cells which play a defensive roll in the body against injury and infection. They migrate towards tissues where they are needed and become functional performing various activities. WBCs can be divided into 2 groups: Polymorphonuclear granulocytes and mononuclear agranulocytes. Both types are spherical while suspended in blood plasma but when they invade tissues after leaving the blood vessels they become amoeboid

are important to understanding cell injury and cell death regardless of the injuring agent” (Heuther & McCance‚ 2012). Cellular injury arises when a cell is unable to sustain homeostasis. The injury can be reversed if the cell can recover from whatever damage was done but if it does not recover the cell will die. The three common forms of cell injury are hypoxic injury‚ free radicals and reactive oxygen species injury‚ and chemical injury. The most common form of cell injury is hypoxic injury‚ or

Cell Energy SCI/230 9/28/12 Associate Program Material Cell Energy Worksheet Answer the following questions: * Cellular respiration: * What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? * * Cellular respiration is the multi-step process in which oxygen is transformed within cells * producing carbon dioxide‚ the process purpose is transforming fuel intake into energy for cells. The three stages are glycolysis‚ citric acid cycle‚ and oxidative phosphorylation

Beet Cell Lab Purpose: The purpose of this Lab was to see how much pressure or stress the beet tissue would hold. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that the higher % of the solvent that the higher the colour intensity will be shown on the ph colour scale. The lower the solvent then the less colour shown. Materials: *Test Tubes (4) *Cork Borer *Beets *Water *1% Acetone *50% Acetone *1% Methanol *50% Methanol Procedure: *Cut 4 uniform cylinders of beet using a cork borer with a 5-mm

Cell Reproduction Dr. Susan Kennedy Introduction to Biology January 28‚ 2012 Introduction Cellular reproduction is the process by which cells duplicate their contents and then divide to yield two cells with similar‚ if not duplicate contents. Life as we know it depends on the ability of cells to store‚ retrieve and translate the genetic instructions required to make and maintain a living organism. In this assignment‚ I will discuss two different types of cell reproduction

EXPLORING THE EGG CELL By: Christina Vu SNC2D3 Mr.Ram FUNCTION OF THE EGG CELL: The egg cell is the female gamete used for sexual reproduction. The egg cell is responsible for providing half of the genetic material required for reproduction. When the egg cell joins with the sperm cell.... The egg cell is large and bulky structure which allows the sperm cell to get in easily. WHAT ORGANELLES DOES AN EGG CELL HAVE AND THEIR FUNCTION? Mitochondria: Produces energy for the cell by a process called
