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

Hey little guy they call me the nucleus of an animal cell and lucky you I’m going to be your mentor and I’m going to teach you about me. So welcome as a new Ribosome organelle in the cell world‚ I’m going to make you familiar with your new home. We are going to start off with the Cell Membrane. The Cell Membrane is the selective barrier that’s surrounding the cell. Since you’re a newbie you need to know that the cell membrane allows only certain things to pass into it‚ but that’s only if it’s made

The Cell Structure and function Abstract In this lab the structures of various cells were viewed through a compound microscope. The bacteria in yogurt was viewed a long with a slice of potato‚ and a thin skin of red onion. The potato was dyed with iodine while the red onion was dyed with methane blue. The students had to assemble the first three slides. Two more slides were provided these are the yeast and protozoa cells. Those two are also viewed with

body‚ there are billions of cells that are essential to living – these are called nerve cells. Nerve cells‚ also known as neurons‚ “are the basic information processing structures” (Stufflebeam). There are about 100 billion of these neurons in our nervous system and are the most essential cell in it. Located in brain as well as the spinal‚ there are different types of nerve cells; including: sensory neurons‚ motor neurons‚ and interneuron (Boeree). The neuron is a cell that is structured similarly

CELL INJURY: CAUSES OF CELL INJURY‚ MECHANISMS OF REVERSIBLE AND IRREVERSIBLE CELL INJURY. CELL INJURY. Causes of cell injury range from gross mechanical external causes to mild endogenous causes as genetic lack of enzymes etc. Virtually all forms of tissue injuries start with molecular or structural alterations in cells. Under normal conditions‚ the cells are in: ❖ homeostastatic „steady“ state Normal cell is confined to relatively narrow range of functions and structure by

ROD CELLS Rod cells‚ or rods‚ are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than the other type of visual photoreceptor‚ cone cells. Rods are concentrated at the outer edges of the retina and are used in peripheral vision. On average‚ there are approximately 125 million rod cells in the human retina.[1] More sensitive than cone cells‚ rod cells are almost entirely responsible for night vision. STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION Rods are a little longer and leaner
