Lipids and Phospholipids The main role of phospholipids is that they can form lipid bilayers. It is an amphipathic molecule. The head which is hydrophilic contains a group of phosphate‚ a diglyceride and a simple molecule e.g. choline. The tail is hydrophobic and is made up of fatty acids. Phospholipids receive and transmit signals across the cell membrane and act as a store room for energy. The main role of phospholipids is that they can form lipid bilayers. It is an amphipathic molecule. The

Death versus fear are they the same thing? There are many differences between death and fear. The Japanese Internment Camps were for fear and the Nazi Concentration Camps were for death. So the two different camps were not the same thing. America had the camps because they got attacked by the Japanese. President Ford said that he did this because they didn’t want to get attacked again. So they relocated the Japanese more inland.The second reason is they sold all of their farms because they didn’t

Abstract Research has shown a connection between stress and physical illness. Furthermore‚ who becomes ill under pressure may be regulated by other factors such as personality type. Several studies conducted confirm that stress is positively correlated with incidences of physical illness (DeVito‚ 1994). It is also becoming common knowledge that many physical diseases are either related to or can be exacerbated by excessive stress. Stress reduction is becoming a part of treatment and prevention of

OSMOSIS IN POTATO TISSUES Vanessa Tsao‚ Lovette To‚ Wang Yeyun‚ Zhang Shenjia‚ Alicia Mak Class 101‚ Nanyang Girls’ High School‚ 2 Linden Drive‚ Singapore 288683 ABSTRACT In this project‚ the relationship between the concentration of salt solution and the length of the potato strip that was immersed in it was investigated. Five strips of potato of the same length were placed in different Petri dishes that contained water of different salt concentration. They were left for twenty minutes and the length

From the results obtained and the bar graph plotted‚ it could be seen that when there was a high concentration of sugar the mass of beetroot decreased. This happened because water moved from the inside of the beetroot‚ where there was a high water potential into the sugar solution‚ which had a lower water potential. In the other four beakers where the concentration of sugar solution was less‚ the mass of the beetroot increased. This happened because water moved from the dilute sugar solution where

Potato Osmosis Introduction: A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert island with no fresh water to drink. They know they could last without food for up to a month‚ but if they didn’t have water to drink they will be dead within a week. Hoping to postpone the inevitable‚ their thirst drives them to drink the salty seawater. They are dead in two days. Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all? Today we explore the cause of the sailor’s

We have discussed in class the nature of Huck and Jim’s unusual relationship and the purpose that Jim‚ an African American former slave‚ serves in the novel. I believe the above quotation explains the reason Jim’s character is in the novel‚ by illustrating the moral shift in Huck’s beliefs. This shift is the turning point of Huck’s moral beliefs which he struggles with through the novel. It is clear after this situation that Huck no longer sees Jim as just a slave‚ and Jim’s purpose in the novel

Osmosis and diffusion are sometimes mixed up without much thought‚ but they are very different in many ways. Osmosis is a defined as the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane (). The membrane is fully permeable for the small water molecules‚ but is selectively permeable to any substance that is lager that a normal water molecule. One example might be a glucose and water mixture‚ when the solute is put into one side of a U-shaped tube that has a semipermeable membrane between the solvent

Thus at the center of reflection on theories of art is less a work’s ontology‚ but rather its experienciality‚ that is the way how it will be perceived and interpreted. ConcomitantlyVibrating screen‚ concentration has shifted to specific aspects of art‚ like the aesthetic use of signs‚ schematisation modes‚ or the message of art‚ and thus the metaphysical construct art has been separated into definable‚ explainable components.
