DNA |I | |INTRODUCTION | DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)‚ molecule that acts as the mechanism of biological inheritance in almost all living creatures. DNA is found in nearly all cells and contains the coded instructions that control the workings of the cell. DNA is passed from parents to offspring‚ and contains the coded instructions that enable the offspring to develop from a single cell into an adult body. DNA is the most important molecule in life‚ and an understanding of the

Define metabolism: The sum of all biological chemical reactions inside a cell or organism Differences in catabolism and anabolism: Catabolism is an enzyme-regulated chemical reaction that releases energy. Complex organic compounds such as glucose‚ amino acids‚ glycerol and fatty acids are broken down into simpler ones. The energy of catabolic reactions is used to drive the anabolic reactions. Anabolism is also enzyme regulated but requires energy for taking the simpler broken down components

Jane Watson Glandular epithelial tissue: Glandular epithelial cells make up any glands within the body. These include sebaceous glands of the skin and glands in the intestinal lining (exocrine glands)‚ and many of the endocrine glands releasing hormones‚ such as the thyroid follicle.

copying of parental DNA to form daughter DNA molecules with identical nucleotide sequences. The second is transcription‚ the process by which parts of the genetic message encoded in DNA are copied precisely into RNA. The third is translation‚ whereby the genetic message encoded in messenger RNA is translated on the ribosomes into a polypeptide with a particular sequence at amino acids. Some persons have spoken in favour of the discovery of the structure of DNA as a helical duplex of nucleotide polymers

Mr. Clark Honors Bio Period 3 10-19-13 Eukaryotic Cell vs. Prokaryotic Cell Eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus but Prokaryotic cells do not. Prokaryotic cells usually only have one chromosomes when Eukaryotic cell have more than one. Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria but Prokaryotic cells do not. Prokaryotic cells are usually unicellular and Eukaryotic cells are usually multicellular. Also Eukaryotic cells are larger than Prokaryotic cells. Both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cell have vacuoles

one of the greatest biological discoveries in the history of mankind. It is not only related to biology but is tied to the study of chemistry as well because of the convoluted molecular structure. DNA is short for the molecule deoxyribonucleic acid. RNA or ribonucleic acid is another nucleic acid derived from DNA and used as a template to make proteins‚ the product of the genetic code. In an article‚ “What is DNA?” written by James Randerson‚ DNA is described as‚ “...the master code for life ... the

components of the HIV life cycle. Identify the various HIV types and subtypes. Discuss HIV’s effects on the immune system. Overview The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus belonging to the family of lentiviruses. Retroviruses can use their RNA and host DNA to make viral DNA and are known for their long incubation periods. Like other retroviruses‚ HIV infects the body‚ has a long incubation period (clinical latency)‚ and ultimately causes the signs and symptoms of disease‚ here AIDS. HIV causes
