Cells come from pre-existing cells via division Cells of all organisms fundamentally similar in structure‚ function‚ and metabolic functions Contain hereditary information passed down during cell division A cell’s volume increases faster than it’s surface area Less surface area = less are for nutrient/waste diffusion Solves via: Dividing‚ getting thinner‚ form microvilli‚ store nutrients (Microvilli – within small intestine) Cells are highly organized‚ 3 basic parts Plasma membrane Selective

Structure and function of macromolecules within a living organism ‘Some biological molecules in organisms are small and simple containing only one or a few functional groups‚ others are large‚ complex assemblies called macromolecules’ [1]. The term macromolecule is convenient because the bulk properties of a macromolecule differ from those of smaller molecules. These large chemical compounds have a high molecular weight consisting of a number of structural units linked together by covalent

Biology 1101 – Homework 3 Cells: Structures & Processes Organelles & Illness - Imagine that you are part of a research team that specializes in diagnosing disorders associated with malfunctioning cellular organelles and structures. Medical doctors consult you to provide a cellular explanation for particularly difficult cases. You recently received the two patient histories outlined below – what is your diagnosis? Note – this exercise is only asking you to determine which cell structure might be

EXPERIMENT 3: IDENTIFICATION OF FOOD CONSTITUENTS IN MILK. INTRODUCTION: In this experiment two milk samples are given and its compositions are tested using different methods such as using benedict solution to test the presence of reducing sugar‚ using copper II sulphate to test the presence of protein‚ using K3( to test the presence of fat. However in this experiment‚ not only are the milk tested for its composition‚ the amount of the particular substance such as reducing sugar‚ protein and

BIO-013/ Stem Cell Research Sullivan 11.10.2010 STEM CELL RESEARCH What is a stem cell? One can define a stem cell as a cell type that is found in many tissues. This particular cell is unique in the fact that it can divide itself over and over virtually to an infinite number. This process of reproduction ensures that the cells can restore other cells that may have gotten damaged; this process may only occur if the person is still living. The same goes for animals. As the stem cell reproduces;

Manual Testing Faq’s What is software testing? Software testing is the process used to help identify the correctness‚ completeness‚ security‚ and quality of developed computer software. Testing involves operation of a system or application under controlled conditions and evaluating the results. Controlled conditions should include both normal and abnormal Why Management some times not serious about testing? Solving problems is a high-visibility process; preventing problems is low-visibility

P5 – Describe the Structure and Function of the Cardiovascular System Changes in Stroke Volume Stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped out the left ventricle‚ every beat your heart makes. It can differ from your resting heart beat and your heart beat when exercising. Normally‚ when exercising‚ your heart rate increases meaning the stroke volume also increases. The blood pumped by the left ventricle is oxygenated‚ and will deliver oxygen to the muscle. The more blood injected in a heartbeat means
