Intracellular fluid The first thing to be explained is intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid. Intracellular fluid is the liquid that is found inside cells. Extracellular fluid is found in things like plasma and this stands for all the body fluid outside of the cells. Intracellular fluid is separated by membranes and put into compartments. Electrolytes Electrolytes are found in the blood‚ urine and fluid inside cells in the body and in the space surrounding them. There are many different electrolytes

Body fluids are maintained at a constant level by several homeostatic mechanisms: Osmosis- is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane known as a plasma membrane. Water is highly polar it is repelled by the lipid core (nonpolar) of the plasma membrane but can easily pass through the aquaporins created by the proteins in the membrane‚ so osmosis is happening all the time as water moves into and out of cells. Diffusion- Is where ions move away from an area where they are

Water enables substances to be transported throughout the body‚ red blood cells for example

synthesizing the DNA‚ and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed‚ or "knocked out"‚ using a nuclease. Gene targeting is a different technique that uses homologous recombination to change an endogenous gene‚ and can be used to delete a gene‚ remove exons‚ add a gene‚ or introduce point mutations. An organism that is generated through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO). The first GMOs were bacteria in 1973; GM mice were generated

Organism Physiology Paper Deborah Chase Biology 101 Professor Y. Henry March 9‚ 2015 Organism Physiology Paper (Chimpanzees) Chimpanzees are hominid species of apes native to Africa and the closest related to humans which they share 95-98% of human DNA. Earlier research reports that the oldest known primates are about 65 million years old with the chimpanzees emerging about 20 million years ago. It is thought that the chimpanzee’s level of intelligence has allowed it to survive

Water Pollution and Its Effects on the Environment Water is probably the most important resource we as people have. Humans can survive without food for several weeks‚ but without water we would die in less than a week. On a slightly less dramatic note‚ millions of liters of water are needed every day worldwide for washing‚ irrigating crops‚ and cooling industrial processes‚ not to mention leisure industries such as swimming pools and water-sports centers. Despite our dependence on water‚ we use

Genetically Modified Organisms? The purpose of GMOs is to make life easier for humans. GMOs are created with the well-being of humankind in focus. The many benefits that GMOs have today demonstrate this. They are used in research in medical fields‚ as well as in agriculture and pharmaceuticals. GMOs are beneficial to countries that suffer from any kind of nutritional deficiency. It is well-known that vitamins‚ proteins and fat are an important part of everyday intake. However‚ many cultures around the

Liquid fuels such as gasoline‚ diesel‚ fuel oil light‚ fuel oil heavy or kerosene have to be atomized and well mixed with the combustion air before burned. Therefor nozzles are used. Nozzles are divided into two groups: Pressure atomizers and twin-fluid atomizers. 5.1.1 Pressure atomizers Pressure atomizers are differed into turbulence nozzles and liquid sheet nozzles. At both types of nozzles the energy from the liquid pressure is converted into kinetic energy and a small part of it into forming
