cell membrane regulates the flow of substances into and out of the cell and mediates biochemical interactions between cells and the surrounding environment. 15. What is the role of the lysosome in autolysis? Lysosomes can be defined as enzymes that aid in the removal and disposal of dead cells in tissues. Lysosomes contain specific enzymes which allow them to digest most types of biological or organic materials. This digestive process‚ known as autolysis‚ occurs quite rapidly in dead cells. Necrosis

6. List two characteristics of each of the 4 types of Protozoans. Ciliates: Ciliates have two nuclei; they use food vacuoles to transport food through the cell Flagellates: Mostly have one single nucleus; they can live as single cells Sporozoans: they move with hosts circulation; Most of Sporozoans are parasitic. Sacrodines: they reproduce sexually in one host and asexually

There are 8 key components of a cell; cell membrane‚ nucleus‚ cytoplasm‚ mitochondria‚ endoplasmic reticulum (rough and smooth)‚ ribosomes‚ Golgi apparatus/complex and lysosomes. The cell membrane is a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell. Its purpose is to hold the structure of the cell‚ protecting and enclosing all of the other organelles within it. The semi-permeable membrane enables substances to move in and out of the cell. The nucleus is like the brain of the cell. It is the

Unit 5 P1 Animal Cell Nucleus- the nucleus in an animal cell controls every activity that happens within the cell Cell membrane- The cell membrane is a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell‚ while keeping other substances out. It also serves as a base of attachment for the cytoskeleton in some organisms and the cell wall in others. Thus the cell membrane

cells plays an essential role in biological life. Regulating osmosis is important for a cell’s survival because it maintains an optimal environment within that cell. Plant cells possess certain structures such as the cell membrane‚ the cell wall‚ the vacuole and the cytoplasm‚ which are involved in the process of osmosis. In order to regulate osmosis‚ a cell uses a fluid mosaic of lipids‚ proteins‚ and carbohydrates known as the cell membrane. This structure also consists of a bilayer of phospholipids

*What is Biochemistry?* * Biochemistry also known as Chemistry of life is the study of chemical substances and vital processes occurring in living organism. Biochemistry governs all living organisms and living processes. * Study of chemical processes in living organisms‚ including‚ but not limited to‚ living matter. * Biochemistry is the science dealing with the chemical composition and chemical reactions happening within‚ and between the living cells of all organisms. → The

1) How might the binding of a molecule bound to the surface of Cell A be connected to the intracellular phosphorylation of protein Y in Cell B? (10 pts) Cell A and Cell B interact with each other through receptor-ligand or receptor-receptor interactions. To be specific‚ through the receptor-ligand interaction‚ Cell A deliver signals to Cell B by triggering the signal transduction pathways in Cell B which mediated by small molecules or proteins. The signal transduction pathways including the intracellular

practical was to observe what effect temperature had on the permeability of the cell membrane. Introduction Located within the vacuole of beetroot cells is a red pigment call Betalains. Typically these pigments are contained within the cell vacuole by the tonoplast (vacuole membrane)‚ however When beetroot is heated these red pigments escape the vacuole. This experiment aims to explore the effect of temperature on the permeability of the cell membranes (i.e. Tonoplast). ‘The cell surface
