Cell Biology (PCB 3023) Fall 2012 Review for Exam 1 Chapter 1 List the key commonalties and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic – no organelles; no nucleus; bacteria and Achaea; spherical‚ rodlike/corkscrew-shaped; cell wall; Eukaryotic – has nucleus; has organelles Commonalities – contain DNA that stores genetic information What is the main component of cellular membranes? What function(s) do membranes serve in cells? Made of phospholipids; defines

Rowe Biology 4 10-8-09 Biology Essay: Parts of a Cell Describe the fluid-mosaic model of a plasma membrane. Discuss the role of the membrane in the movement of materials through each of the following processes: a.) Active Transport b.) Passive Transport All living cells contain a plasma membrane‚ which acts a boundary for the cell. The plasma membrane regulates the cell’s chemical composition because it uses selective permeability to allow certain substances to enter or exit the cell more

Biology 20 IB Design Lab Does increasing or decreasing the ph level of a 3% concentration H2O2 (l) solution affect the amount of oxygen released between 15.0ml of the solution and a 5g sample of liver? The reaction is measured by the difference in mass of a balloon that is used to capture the amount of gas released by the catalase enzyme found in liver reacting with a basified 3% H2O2 (l) and an acidified 3% H2O2 (l) . Chemical reactions occur when two or more molecules interact and the molecules

Cell Biology (CP8121) Experiment 2: Observing Mitosis and Meiosis on cell specimens (Formal report) Name: Wong Chung An Class: DMLS/FT/1B/02 Admin number: P1138687 Summary This experiment aims to observe mitosis and meiosis on cell specimens. It involves the modelling of the stages of meiosis and also the staining procedures to identify mitosis in onion root tip. There are two parts to the procedure of the experiment whereby the first is staining and observing mitosis in onion root tips and the

franciscana are known to live in high salinity lakes that are often basic (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). Furthermore‚ A. franciscana feed on photosynthetic phytoplankton which inhabit areas of light availability but are also more susceptible to predation in highly-lit areas (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). Also‚ A. franciscana can withstand a broad range of temperature except extreme values may affect survival (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). In this experiment‚ the habitat

Cell Biology Lab - Homework 1 Due to the week of Oct. 6-10th This is NOT a lab group project. Do the work individually. You may use any source other than your fellow students. Show your work‚ use your own words and cite all references. 1. (20 points) The HeLa S3 cancer cell line is considered to be “continuous” due to acquired mutations that enable the cells to evade senescence. This property is one of several hallmark characteristics of cancer cell lines. Describe three hallmark characteristics
