Cell Fractionation: Isolation of Mitochondria from Cauliflower and Determination of Specific Enzyme Kinetics Introduction Mitochondria is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that play a role in biochemical processes such as respiration and energy production. Mitochondria even play an important role in apoptosis‚ or programmed cell death. This is achieved by disruption of electron transport‚ oxidative phosphorylation‚ and ATP production or even the release of proteins that trigger activation

Cell Theory In biology‚ cell theory is a scientific theory that describes the properties of cells‚ the basic unit of structure in every living thing. The initial development of the theory‚ during the mid-17th century‚ was made possible by advances in microscopy; the study of cells is called cell biology. Cell theory states that new cells are formed from pre-existing cells‚ and that the cell is a fundamental unit of structure‚ function and organization in all living organisms. It is one of the

Objectives To study the quantitative relationship between the amount of reactants and products of a reaction ( that is how many moles of A react with a given mol of B). A known starting mass of magnesium and the measured collection of hydrogen gas will be used to determine the reaction stoichiometry and the valency of magnesium Introduction Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative relationship between amounts of reactants and products of a reaction. Stoichiometry can be used to calculate the

Melting pointe determination #01 Introduction: Objective To learn how to obtain an accurate melting point using a MELTING POINT APPARATUS‚ then use them to draw eutectic curve and determine the eutectic point. Melting point of a solid is the temperature at which the solid and its liquid form are in equilibrium‚ i.e.‚ molecules move back and forth between the two states at the same rate‚ so both phases remain present. If the temperature of a solid is measured carefully as the solid is heated

Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to generate new cells of any kind during early life and growth. There are about 200 different types of cells in the body; such as muscle‚ skin and brain cells. Most of these cells have to be repaired or replaced once in a while. For example our taste buds are replaced every 10 days‚ skin cells every couple of weeks and liver cells every 300-500 days. Stem cells serve as an internal repair system dividing essentially without limit to replenish

Recent studies of stem cells have played are very important because they show promise in helping man solve or at least grasp the solution to the diseases that have haunted him since his early days of conscious. The idea of stem cells is kind of a simple idea. This brings us to the first promise‚ not only are stem cells able to be taken from the human body‚ but scientists are now able to grow these cells in labs. The most worried over part is that when obtaining the cells‚ it doesn’t always

Artif Biology Project – Do You Agree With the Creation of This Artificial Cell? Introduction The aim for this project is to find out the positive and negative impacts of the creation of a new artificial cell called Cinthya (Annex N.1)‚ how can it be used positively in different fields‚ and at last‚ if I personally agree with the creation of Artificial Cells. In this project I will inform you about the uses of Artificial Cells in medicine and other subjects‚ if there are any drawbacks and finally

Determination of an Equilibrium Constant Abstract: In this experiment‚ two reactions were run to determine the molar absorptivity and the equilibrium constant of FeSCN2+. The main principles used in this lab are equilibrium‚ LeChatlier’s Principle‚ Beer’s Law and Spectrocopy. The first reaction was run to completion using LeChatier’s Principle and the second reaction was run to equilibrium. A spectrophotometer was used to measure absorbances. Using a graph of absorbance versus concentration

Cell Reproduction Eric Gonzalez Strayer University Week 4 Lab Professor Lynn Roginsky 22 Jul 11 Cell Reproduction The goal of this week’s lab is to explore the effects cancerous cells can have on tissue in the lungs‚ stomach‚ and ovaries. Using a microscope and slideshow and based on readings in the lab the following are answers to questions asked in the experiment. Based on the data gathered from observation differences in normal cells and cancerous ones have revealed themselves. Most
