a) Using a human cell of your choice‚ describe how organelles work together to make and secrete a protein (LO1. AC 1.1) An epithelial cell in the thyroid gland‚ called a thyrocyte forms spherical follicles that produce a protein called thyroglobulin. This is a globular protein that has a functional role in metabolism. The protein is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine

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 Unit Notes I. Life Processes - What makes something living? A. Biotic: Having life’s conditions Abiotic: Not having life’s conditions Homeostasis: The condition of maintaining a constant internal environment in living organisms. B. Characteristics of living Organisms (LIFE) 1. Nutrition - Food for energy and body (cell) repair and development 2. Transport - Move materials were needed in organism 3. Respiration - Able to generate energy for life processes

roles of mitotic cell division‚ meiosis‚ and fertilization in the human life cycle. Mitosis allows for growth and repair from the fertilized egg to the adult. In reproductively mature individuals‚ meiosis creates gametes with half the genetic material. The male gamete then fertilizes the female gamete during sexual reproduction‚ forming a zygote with a full set of genetic material. 2. Why are both cell division and apoptosis necessary for the development of an organism? Cell division is needed

Sickle cell disease is present usually in those of African or Mediterranean descent (Saladin 2007). About 1.3% of African Americans have sickle cell (Saladin‚ 2007). Sickle cell was originated in Africa where malaria was killing a vast number of people (Saladin‚ 2007). The sickle cell hemoglobin is not able to be digested by the parasites that cause malaria‚ making those with sickle cell resistant to malaria (Saladin‚ 2007). This paper will discuss a normal erythrocyte compared to an erythrocyte

In 1838 a botanist called Schleiden derived the theory The basic unit of structure and function of all living organisms is the cell.’ Over 150 years later this can be regarded as one of the most familiar and important facts within the biological fields.

A passive process‚ diffusion / osmosis is the movement of solute molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration. 2. A solution surrounding a cell is hypertonic if: a. it contains fewer nonpenetrating solute particles than the interior of the cell. b. it contains more nonpenetrating solute particles than the interior of the cell. c. it contains the same

contrast xylem tissue and phloem tissue‚ including their respective structures and functions. The stems and roots of plants contain two separate transport systems; xylem vessels and phloem tubes‚ of which neither transport oxygen as it is transported to cells by diffusion. The network of xylem vessels transports water and mineral ions from the roots to all other parts of the plant whereas phloem tubes transport food made in the leaves to all other parts of the plant. In the stems the tissue is collectively
