Portfolio The Cell and Cell Theory [pic] The cell The word cell comes from the Latin word “cellula”‚ which means a small room. The cell is the smallest unit of a living organism‚ also known as “the building block of life”. Every living organism is consisted of a cell. There are bacteria (unicellular organisms)‚ and multicellular organisms. There are different types of cells‚ prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. All cells come from preexisting cells. “Every cell is self-maintaining;

Cell Specialisation All cells are designed to perform a particular job within an organism‚ that is‚ to sustain life. Cells can become specialized to perform a particular function within an organism‚ usually as part of a larger tissue consisting of many of the same cells working together for example muscle cells. The cells combine together for a common purpose. All organisms will contain specialised cells. There are hundreds of types of specialised cells. Below is listed some of the major ones

The acid-fast stain is performed on samples to demonstrate the characteristic of acid fastness in certain bacteria. Acid fastness is a characteristic that is shared by just a few organisms‚ so staining to determine if organisms possess this trait is useful in microbial identification schemes. The Ziehl-Neelsen method has endured as a reliable and effective way to demonstrate the acid-fast bacteria. Materials: 18-20 nutrient hour agar slant culture of Staphyloccus aureus 4 day old nutrient

The sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. People with sickle cell have red blood cells that have mostly hemoglobin’s‚ Sometimes these red blood cells become sickle-shaped or crescent shaped and have trouble going through small blood vessels. When sickle-shaped cells block small blood vessels‚ less blood can get to that part of the body. Tissue that does not get a normal blood flow eventually becomes damaged.This is what causes the problems of sickle

solute. What do you think changes in temperature such as cold/hot would have on the diffusion rate? Answer: The rate of diffusion of molecules depends on how soluble they are. The rate of diffusion depends on the size of the molecule in general‚ small molecules would pass through a membrane faster than larger molecules. As temperatures increase‚ molecular movement increases. As the movement increases‚ so will the diffusion rate as the molecules spread faster and faster. The opposite would be true

Small Pox Small pox‚ which was once the most feared disease known by mankind started out in the days of Christopher Columbus. The disease set out to change the lives of the people in the worse way. It became known as an epidemic disease that ended up killing hundreds of people. Small pox started out in Hispaniola and because of no cure‚ it traveled to the island of Puerto Rico‚ and then Cuba. It was only a matter of time until it spread to the mainland‚ somewhere in America. In the Middle

ACID BASE IMBALENCE INTRODUCTION The body normally maintains a steady balance between acids‚ produced during metabolism and bases that neutralize and promote the excretion of the acids.Many health problems may lead to acid base imbalance.Patients with Diabetis mellitus ‚COPD‚and kidney disease frequently frequently develop acid base imbalences. Vomiting and diarrhea may also cause acid base imbalance.The kidneys are an essential buffer system for
