½Give an account of the structure and properties of Biological membranes. Include details of the modifications of membrane structure found in different specialised cells and organelles½ The Fluid Mosaic model was codified by Singer and Nicolson in 1972. It describes the structure and properties of the cell membrane very simply. Every membrane consists of a Phospholipid bilayer. This is simply two layers of phospholipid molecules that come together due to their unique properties. The heads of the

Volume of Solid of Revolution explains how to use integration to find the volume of an object with curved sides‚ e.g. wine barrels. 9. Electric Charges have a force between them that varies depending on the amount of charge and the distance between the charges. We use integration to calculate the work done when charges are separated. 10. Average Value of a curve can be calculated using integration.

Recombinant DNA Technology Recombinant DNA technology refers to the ability to isolate specific DNA sequences and alter or manipulate them to produce desired effects. More often‚ recombinant DNA technology is referred to as biotechnology. Recombinant DNA technology is fascinating in that it has developed into a multi-billion dollar industry‚ and completely revolutionized agriculture and pharmaceutical industries‚ all within the past 50 years. According to one account‚ biotechnology was born

Strawberry DNA Extraction Donovan Roberts Mrs. Caudill Honors Biology 3/7/11 Introduction The structure of DNA is made of nitrogenous bases‚ phosphate groups‚ and sugars. These three parts of DNA form hydrogen bonds and create a right-handed double helix. The location of DNA in a eukaryotic cell is found within the nucleus‚ bound to proteins. DNA can be extracted from within the cell. They are several steps you must take to retrieve DNA from within the cell. When extracting DNA cells can

the direction) is still equal to v2r 2.6.3 Identify the force producing circular motion in various situations Sometimes people will make reference to the "centripetal force." This is not a real force‚ its a pseudo-force. In general the centripetal force is made up of many other forces and is the sum of those forces. This is not unlike the idea of a net force which is also generally the sum of multiple forces. If you have a ball on the end of a string and you swing it in a vertical

the structure of DNA. ➢ DNA is a nucleic acid‚ which consist of long chains (polymers) of chemical units (monomers) called nucleotide. A molecule of DNA contains two polynucleotides‚ each a chain of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base‚ a sugar‚ and a phosphate group. Each DNA strand serves as a mold‚ or template‚ to guide reproduction of the other strand. There are four different types of nucleotides found in DNA‚ differing only in the nitrogenous base. DNA is contained in

The story The Structure of DNA: Cooperation and Competition demonstrates the nature of science in many ways. DNA was not discovered by just one person‚ it was discovered by many different scientist who built on each others’ ideas. The main scientists who were featured in the story were James Watson‚ Rosalind Franklin‚ Francis Crick‚ Raymond Gosling and Maurice Wilkins. In the case of this story‚ scientific knowledge assumes an order and consistency in natural systems. Science models were used

Physiology 168 March 14‚ 2014 Diffusion across a Selectively Permeable membrane Introduction: Diffusion is movement of molecules from one area of concentration to another. This process is vital for the life functions of cells. Cells have selectively permeable membranes that allow only certain solutions to pass through them. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion that allows water to go through semi-permeable membranes of high water potential to a region of lower water potential. Water potential
