mosaic model of the cell membrane. What is the fluid mosaic model? The fluid mosaic model is a model conceived by S.J. Singer and Garth Nicolson in 1972 to describe the structural features of biological membranes. The membrane is described to be fluid because of its hydrophobic integral components such as lipids and membrane proteins that move laterally or sideways throughout the membrane. That means the membrane is not solid‚ but more like a ’fluid’. The membrane is depicted as mosaic because

1. Describe the general structure and function of the nervous system. The Nervous System is a "network" which delivers information and monitors the processes taking place in our bodies at all times. The nervous system in all its aspects allows us to function as a single controlled and coordinated unit. The basic nerve cell nerve cell is a neuron; a chain of neurons is actually a "communication cable "inside our bodies. Neuron structure is basically the cell nucleus‚ the dendrites which receive information

the process in which autotrophs use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. This conversion into chemical energy is associated with the action of the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll molecules located in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts are arranged into complexes known as photosystems. Each photosystem contains the reaction center complex and is surrounded by light harvesting complexes. The light harvesting complexes are composed of pigment molecules such as

Osmosis Lab Research Question: In this lab‚ our goal was to look at the effects of different sucrose concentrations on osmosis in potatoes. Our research question was “How do the sugar levels affect the rate of osmosis in potatoes?”. Background Information: Solutions consist of solutes dissolved in a solvent. In all living organisms there are many different types of solutes including salts and sugars. The major solvent is water. There are different concentrations of solutes in various regions

Introduction Memory is defined as the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information(Eysenck & keane‚ 2010). Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) (Cowan‚ Rouder‚ & Stadler‚ 2000)‚ came up with a model of sensory memory which stated not everything we perceive we process. Craik and Tulving (1975) developed an opposing theory in which they proposed the levels of processing theory‚ stating its not the processing but the type of quality of the processing that is performed‚ that determines the retention

Job Safety Analysis or Job Hazard Analysis All employers have duty of care to individuals‚ staff‚ contractors or third parties in the workplace. It is also a legal requirement that organizations should document any health and safety risks that have been identified in the workplace. Equally‚ it is necessary to record the actions taken to reduce those risks What is a Job Safety Analysis or Job Hazard Analysis? One way to increase the knowledge of hazards in the workplace is to conduct

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS: This experiment circles around with the Newton’s second condition of equilibrium in rotational motion. It describes by net torque acting on a body which is zero. The ability of the body to rotate in a certain direction is varied according on how much torque is applied. To prove that‚ a beam that is subjected to two forces is balanced by adjusting the perpendicular distances. When applied force is weight‚ modification in masses added is also done. Once equilibrium is achieved
