    Transgenic Animals and Plants What is a transgenic animal/plant? A transgenic animal or plant is one that has a foreign gene (called a "transgene") inserted into its DNA. Transgenic animals and plants are sometimes called "genetically modified organisms" or GMO ’s for short. What is a transgene? A transgene is the foreign gene that has been moved from one organism into a new organism by genetic engineering. For example‚ a bacterial gene that is inserted into a plant ’s DNA would be a

    desert is the home to many plant and animal wildlife. Of course‚ to survive the hot and dry conditions‚ these wildlife have to be specially adapted to capture as much food and water as possible to sustain themselves. In the desert‚ it can get as hot as over 30 degrees in the day and below 16 degrees at night! This project will further explore a few of the plants and animals‚ as well some of their adaptations.

    Thursday‚ October 4th‚ 2012 Tuesday‚ October 9th‚ 2012 Comparing Plant and Animal Cells Abstract The purpose of our lab was to have a better understanding of what are the differences between animal cells and plant cells. Although the cell is the basic unit in both living beings they are not completely alike. For that I have examined and compared human cheek cells to Elodea leaf cells. First‚ I’ve scraped the inside of my cheek with the end of a swab stick to collect the cells then I’ve prepared

    as the source of most of the genetic diversity in the domestic dog and the most likely origin of domestication events.[16] The actual process undergone in domesticating the wolf is still debated. Although it is popularly assumed that dogs originated as a result of artificial selection‚ the general intractability of adult wolves to human handling has led certain experts to theorise that the domestication process occurred through natural selection‚ when Mesolithic human communities began building permanent

    Plant and animal cells have several differences and similarities. For example‚ animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed‚ rectangular shapes. Animal Cell Plant Cell Cell wall Absent Present (formed of cellulose) Shape Round (irregular shape) Rectangular (fixed shape) Vacuole One or more small vacuoles (much smaller than plant cells). One‚ large central vacuole taking up 90% of cell volume

    similarities between plant and animal cells are as follows: 1. Both are constructed from eukaryotic cells. 2. Both contain a defined nucleus. 3. Both have mitochondria. 4. Both have Golgi bodies. 5. Both are surrounded by a cell membrane. Three differences are: 1. Plants cells have a cell wall‚ whereas animal cells do not. 2. Animal cells have lysosomes‚ whereas plant cells do not. 3. Animal cells contain centrioles and a cytoskeleton‚ whereas most plants do not. Five

    Animal cells vs. Plant cells Five Similarities Animal and plant cells have many of the same characteristic. Animal cells and plant cells are both eukaryotes. They both have cell nucleus which contain chromosomes or DNA‚ as well as cell membrane encompassing the cell to control the substances moving in and out of the cell. They both contain enzymes from liposome for breaking down larger molecules. Animal and plant cells both transport protein into and out of cells through endoplasmic reticulum

    Enzymes and their importance in plants and animals (25 marks) Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which accelerate the speed of chemical reactions in the body without being used up or changed in the process. Animals and plants contain enzymes which help break down fats‚ carbohydrates and proteins into smaller molecules the cells can use to get energy and carry out the processes that allow the plant or animal to survive. Without enzymes‚ most physiological processes would not take place. Hundreds of
