Basic chemistry of a cell Properties of water – – – Life on Earth began in water and evolved there for 3 billion years before spreading onto land. Modern life‚ even terrestrial life‚ remains tied to water. All living organisms require water more than any other substance. Human beings for example‚ can survive for quite for a few weeks without food‚ but only a week or so without water. – – – Water is deceptively simple. It is shaped something like a wide V‚ with its two hydrogen atoms joined

L.O. 1.1 and 1.2 Carbohydrates are sugars and they are the primary source of energy for our vital functions such as breathing and sleeping. There are two types of carbohydrates‚ simple and complicated. Monosaccharides‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides. L. O. 1.2 Carbohydrates are split into different classifications depending on how many molecules they have. Monosaccharide: one sugar

Their blood is almost transparent because of the lack of red blood cells‚ and they are the only vertebrate that does not have circulating hemoglobin. Those organisms are referred to as Ice fish‚ and they are one of the unique organism that live in Southern Ocean around Antarctica and Southern South America‚ where water temperatures remain relatively stable. Hemoglobin is a protein within mammalian red blood cells that transports oxygen for delivery to tissues throughout the body. Having red blood

ntroduction In this experiment we created standards to be able to compare a mystery substance off of. We were tasked to investigate a murder that took place by analyzing a man’s last meal to find out where he had ate based on the content of his stomach. Before we could test the mystery substance we had to establish standards‚ so we could compare off of them. Based on the results of this lab‚ we believed that the victim last ate at Buffalo Wild Wings (Veliz). Methods and Materials We started this

Chlorella pyrenoidosa is a widely available microalga with several commercial applications for food and nutritional purposes. It has also revealed great potential as future industrial bioenergy producer due to its robustness‚ high growth rate‚ and high carbohydrate and lipid contents‚ and can be cultured under autotrophic‚ heterotrophic and mixotrophic conditions. However‚ in presence of organic carbon sources‚ it produces higher biomass with better carbohydrate contents than its autotrophic

HOMEOSTASIS Homeostasis is an internal environment that is regulated in order to remain in a stable and constant state. To be able to maintain homeostasis‚ the homeostatic control system shows how communication within the body is important in homeostasis‚ there are four main components to this system: the stimulus (change)‚ the receptor (detects the change)‚ the control centre (receives the information) and the effector ( produces the response). The stimulus in this case would be the change in

compounds essential for the structure and function of living cells. Lipids are characterized by being water-insoluble but soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. Examples of lipids are fats and oils. Fats and oils are made from two kinds of molecules: glycerol (a type of alcohol with a hydroxyl group on each of its three carbons) and three fatty acids joined by dehydration synthesis. C) Nucleic acids A nucleic acid is a complex‚ high-molecular-weight biochemical macromolecule composed of nucleotide

Abstract Every body contains blood. It is the life force that allows the body to function properly. It is a specialized fluid that is pumped by the heart and circulated through the body via a system of arteries and veins. It is an essential component of the body and without it we would not be able to survive. This paper discusses the anatomy and physiology of blood in a brief review. Anatomy and Physiology of Blood The blood is made up of four main components. These are plasma‚ red
