Assignment 1: Cell Membranes and Temperature Background Theory Beetroot contains betalain pigments within it’s vacuole‚ which gives it it’s purple-red colour‚ it’s this pigment which leaks out as the beetroot is heated and the cells membrane begins to break down. The practicals aim is to show the effect of temperature on the cell membrane by observing the colour change of the water the beetroot was placed in. The cell membrane is important as it controls the substances enters and leaves the cell with

STEM CELL RESEARCH AND THERAPYAND ITS IMPACTS ON SOCIETY Abstract There are several types of stem cells being used in stem cell research and therapy today. They are embryonic‚ adult and induced pluripotent stem cells. Each will be discussed further. This topic has stirred much moral‚ ethical and political debate as whether cells from fetuses should be used in this research. This impacts governmental policies on laws and funding. Another issue that must be analyzed is the

Synapsis **Short Questions 1.Describe the chief events of mitosis and show how these differ from meiosis. (V.V.I.) 2. What ‘checkpoints’ occur in cell cycle? What is the role of each? **Long Questions 1.Describe the phases of the cell cycle and the events that characterize each phase. Answer of short Definition is given below 1. Cell Cycle: The cell cycle is an orderly sequence of events

The cell cycle‚ or cell-division cycle‚ is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication that produces two daughter cells. In cells without a nucleus‚ the cell cycle occurs via a process termed binary fission. In cells with a nucleus‚ the cell cycle can be divided in three periods: interphase—during which the cell grows‚ accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA—and the mitotic phase‚ during which the

Commercial Cells Galvanic Cell A Galvanic cell is also known as a Voltaic cell. It was named after Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta. A galvanic cell is capable of producing an electric current from a redox reaction that occurs within it and consists of two half cells. Each half cell consists of an electrode and electrolyte and a salt bridge. In a galvanic cell one metal can undergo reduction and the other oxidation. A typical galvanic cell is based on the spontaneous redox reaction: Net Ionic

Phospholipids layer- 2 layers ‚ polar and non polar ‚ polar facing the extracellular fluid and cytoplasm 2. Transmembrane proteins-integral membrane proteins are proteins that expand the membrane 3. Interior protein network-peripheral proteins are in the interior side of the membrane 4. Cell surface markers are glycolipids‚ carbohydrates/lipid

Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic Cells Introduction: The Cell: The cell is a functional unit of all living organisms. Cells have evolved into two fundamentally different types‚ eukaryotic and prokaryotic‚ which can be distinguished on the basis of their structure and the complexity of their organization. The simplest organisms which consist of one cell are called prokaryotes. More complex organisms are called eukaryotes and they consist of many cells. Objectives: * Define the terms: Eukaryotes

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
