All living cells have a cell membrane and it is probably the most important organelle of a cell. The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid‚ proteins and carbohydrates. The phospholipids are arranged in a bilayer with the hydrophilic ends facing out and the hydrophobic ends facing the inside of bilayer. Membranes can contain phospholipids with different fatty acids which affects the strength and flexibility of the membrane. There are two different proteins in cell membranes. One is a protein

Stem Cell Revisted George W. Bush was the United States of America’s 43rd president. During his presidency‚ Bush faced many ground breaking decisions that would help mold the nation’s growth. One such issue was that regarding the use of government funds to support stem cell research (“George W. Bush”). Stem cell research has long been deemed a taboo subject. People’s opinions can vary greatly regarding the use of stem cells to further research. Former president

technique Introduction Endosymbiosis is a process where unicellular organisms engulf other cells resulting a life form that one or both cells are dependent on each other (Campbell et al.‚ 2008). Strong evidence suggests that different types of photosynthetic cyanobacteria underwent endosymbiosis that evolved into different types of photosynthetic eukaryotes (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2012). During eukaryotic evolution‚ red algae and green algae led to five supergroups of eukaryotes through a process

(See appendix 2) Appendix 3 shows a normal red blood cell and a sickled red blood cell‚ you can see the difference is more than noticeable. This essay will look at three themes and look at areas of research found by the author‚ an analysis and evaluation of the research found will be given. A conclusion will then be given of the information found during the research process. The

I laboratory under Prof. Cheryl M. Talde‚ 2nd sem.‚ 2011-2012. 1 2 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was assessed using two tests: the glass tube test and the agar-water gel test. In the glass tube set-up‚ two cotton plugs soaked in two different substances (HCl and NH4OH) were inserted into the two ends of the glass tube. The substance with the lighter molecular weight value (NH 4OH‚ M = 35.0459 g/mole) diffused at a faster rate (dAve = 25.8cm)‚ resulting

TREATMENT OPTIONS There is NO cure for sickle cell disease‚ although new stem cell research is promising. Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure‚ however finding a matched sibling donor is difficult. Therefore treatment is primarily focused on management of symptoms and prevention of pain episodes. Hydroxyurea (a chemotherapeutic medication) is the only recognized treatment option for the prevention of vaso-occlusive crisis in SCD. It is a prescribed drug for adult patients

phone has become the favored communication hub for the majority of American teens. 1 Cell-phone texting has become the preferred channel of basic communication between teens and their friends and cell calling is a close second. Some 75% of 12-17 year-olds now own cell phones‚ up from 45% in 2004. Those phones have become indispensable tools in teen communication patterns. Fully 72% of all teens – or 88% of teen cell phone users — are text-messagers.2 That is a sharp rise from the 51% of teens who were
