a plasma membrane. Discuss the role of the membrane in the movement of materials through it by each of the following processes: a. Active transport b. Passive transport The plasma membrane is a semi permeable barrier that separates the inside of the cell from the outside environment. The plasma membrane is made up of carbohydrates‚ cholesterol‚ proteins‚ and a lipid bilayer‚ or double layer of lipids. The plasma membrane may be known as a fluid mosaic model where the membrane is a fluid

What effects do mobile phones have on people’s health? November 2006 ABSTRACT This is a Health Evidence Network (HEN) synthesis report assessing the clinical effects of daily exposure to mobile phones in general populations. It addresses the impact on developing head and brain tumours‚ other morbidity-related outcomes and summarizes the biological effects of RF and microwave radiation. The report shows that the evidence available does not provide a clear pattern to support an association

all species need. While plants rely directly on the sun for energy‚ humans rely on an array of sources like wind‚ fossil-fuel‚ water‚ solar‚ and more recently biofuels. Of these biofuels‚ which are fuels obtained directly from living plant matter‚ ethanol and biodiesel are the most commonly used. These two sources are typically used to fuel cars‚ trucks‚ aircraft‚ and small-engine machines. Biofuels have garnered much attention because they are derived from renewable resources like corn and soybeans

on Staphylococcus Epidermis and Escherichia coli Abstract Antimicrobial effects of cilantro against the gram positive bacteria S. epidermis and the gram negative bacteria E. coli were looked at. We predicted that cilantro would act as an antibiotic against S. epidermis but not to E. coli because S. epidermis does not contain an outer membrane whereas E coli. does. We predicted that the semi-permeable outer membrane of E. coli would protect the bacteria from any antimicrobial properties of cilantro

Effect of Osmosis on Potato Aim: To investigate the effect osmosis has on potato pieces that are placed in different concentrations of sugar solutions in water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more saturated the solution is the lighter the potato will be‚ and the potato in the clear water will weigh more after being left in the solution over a 24 hour period. This is because the cell membranes in the potato act as semi permeable membranes (meaning that they only allow certain molecules through)
