The fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane. What is the fluid mosaic model? The fluid mosaic model is a model conceived by S.J. Singer and Garth Nicolson in 1972 to describe the structural features of biological membranes. The membrane is described to be fluid because of its hydrophobic integral components such as lipids and membrane proteins that move laterally or sideways throughout the membrane. That means the membrane is not solid‚ but more like a ’fluid’. The membrane is depicted as mosaic

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

The Xylem is part of a plant‚ which is a hollow tube with spiral thickening of lignin around the wall giving strength‚ which is continuous throughout the whole plant. The difference between the Xylem cell and other cells is that the Xylem is dead and has no cytoplasm. The Xylem is responsible for transporting water and certain nutrients form root to plant. Phloem carries soluble organic material i.e. food for the plant. The top of the plant is in the light‚ conducting photosynthesis and helping the

Krabbe disease is a disorder inherited from parents‚ which destroys the myelin coat of nerve cells throughout the nervous system and the process is called demyelination. Demyelination inhibits the transmission of nerve impulses and that hinders the communication of the brain and the body and that results in disability (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research‚ 2016). Dr. Knud. H.Krabbe diagnosed this disorder in 1916 (Arizona Board of Regents‚ 2015). Krabbe disease is a body recessive disorder
