address this question: “Propose a possible explanation on why the light caused depolarization of the off-center ganglion cell?” we first have to describe the structure of the center -surround in the receptive fields of retinal. In the receptive field‚ there are cone photoreceptors that communicate with On and Off center bipolar cell and finally On and Off center ganglion cells that carry the action potential to the cortex. When light comes to the retina (eyes) it causes closing of channels in the

him or her having Sickle Cell Disease. What this is is it’s a disease that is genetically inherited and it involves the red blood cells. Mutations in the HBB gene cause this disease. This disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern‚ which means both copies of the gene in each cell will have mutations. The parents of offspring with an autosomal recessive gene each carry one copy of the mutated gene. The blood cells form an abnormal crescent shape (normal cells are in a disk form). The

The impact of mobile technology on people’s lives Posted on April 27‚ 2012 by guirong zhang One of the priority tasks of the Literary High Street project is to allow users access the website primarily with mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. Except of developing a unique mobile experience for users‚ it drives me to start exploring the influences of mobile technology to human’s lives as it is being so widely used in modern society. As we all know‚ the world is being connected much closer

This has been a big problem‚ which is bringing more and more problems in the world and has not talked solutions to solve this problem. I will discuss

The effect of temperature on beet cell membranes Introduction: A cell membrane of a beet (Beta Vulgaris) is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and cholesterols. The membrane is responsible for organizing the cell‚ protecting it from the exterior environment‚ as well as responsible for regulating what goes in and out of the cell though it’s protein channels and “selectively permeable” bilayer. (Campbell‚ Reece‚ Taylor & Simon‚ 2006‚ p. 79-80) When this membrane is damaged

The question of whether cell phones should be allowed in schools has been hotly debated over the years. The reality is‚ bans on cell phones are hard for schools to enforce. A 2010 Pew Internet & American Life Project study found that 65 percent of cell-owning teens at schools that completely ban phones bring their phones to school every day anyway. Most schools now allow students to have cell phones but try to require them to be turned off during class because they can be disruptive and distracting

Should he stay with the team and finish the bid anyway in case something comes up over the course of the day? Or should he accept the situation and tell

The Cell membrane surrounds all living cells and is the most important organelle‚ there is also a similar plasma membrane that surrounds all the organelles except for the ribosome. The membrane controls how and what substances can move in and out of the cell/organelle The structure of the membrane is often referred to as the “Fluid Mosaic Model”; this is because of the way it is structured It is composed of phospholipids‚ proteins‚ and carbohydrates‚ which are arranged in a fluid

Cell Yell In this generation‚ people tend to speak their mind regardless of their surroundings. Thinking back to a few years ago‚ everything was private. Not too many people were broadcasting personal business in public settings. Nowadays when using public transportation services‚ it’s rather annoying to hear the next person’s conversation. What ever happen to keeping your conversation private? Privacy plays an important role in my life. Everything isn’t for everyone to hear‚ see‚ or understand
