Brain Structures and Functions Viviana N. Reyes ESE370: Learning & the Brain (CXI1409A) Instructor: Charisse Jones March 9‚ 2014 Brain Structures and Functions Many are fascinated by the brain and its functions. Our brain is composed of different units and lobes that work together but each part‚ of course‚ has a special function. We all ask ourselves‚ how is it that we learn? Do our senses have anything to do with getting new information into our brain? Technology

Cell Structure and FunctionAbstractThis report is about cell structure and function. The cell is the basic unit of life. All living things are madeof cells. By doing this lab‚ I hoped to learn how a cell looked and how it functioned. I also wanted toknow the differences between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.IntroductionThe concept of this lab is producing a replica of an animal cell‚ and a plant cell. Producing the models of the cells helps to provide a better understanding of each cell

Bai‚ W.-G. Zhu]; Department of Biotechnology‚ Guilin Medical College‚ Guilin‚ China [L. Bai] Since the p53 tumor suppressor gene has been found to be mutated in more than 50% of human cancers‚ it has attracted the interest of numerous researchers. The capacity of p53 for multiple biological functions can be

The Digestive System The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract—a series of hollow organs joined in a long‚ twisting tube from the mouth to the anus—and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food. Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small intestine‚ large intestine—also called the colon—rectum‚ and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth‚ stomach‚ and small intestine‚ the mucosa contains tiny

The nucleolus (plural nucleoli) is a non-membrane bound structure. Composed of proteins and nucleic acids found within the nucleus. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is transcribed and assembled within the nucleolus. Three major components of the nucleolus are recognized: the fibrillar centers (FC)‚ the dense fibrillar components (DFC)‚ and granular components (GC). The DFC consists of newly transcribed rRNA bound to ribosomal proteins‚ while the GC‚ contains rRNA bound to ribosomal proteins that are beginning

Plant Structure and Function Plant Body The unique organization of tissues in flowering plants is part of the reason why they are the dominant group of the plant kingdom. Monocots and Dicots Meristems Meristems – region of undifferentiated cells that can divide rapidly. Apical meristems – shoots and tip of roots (primary growth) Lateral meristems – thickening of the cambium (secondary growth) Plant Tissues Plant Tissues Xylem – conducts water and mineral ions; fluids can

a lipid by The two main ways to test for lipids in a sample substance is through the Sudan Red test and the Grease Spot test. Sudan Red is a dye that is lipid soluble. Therefore‚ when Sudan Red is added to a sample that contains lipids‚ the dye will colour the lipids red. The Grease Spot test can also be used identify the presence of lipids in a sample. Lipids make unglazed paper‚ such as the outside of a paper bag‚ translucent. Phospholipids have a very similar structure to triglycerides. However
