Effect of Protein Intake on Strength‚ Body Composition and Endocrine Changes in Strength/Power Athletes Introduction: Proteins are often called the building blocks of the body. Protein consists of combinations of structures called amino acids that combine in various ways to make muscles‚ bone‚ tendons‚ skin‚ hair‚ and other tissues. They serve other functions as well including nutrient transportation and enzyme production. Adequate‚ regular protein intake is essential because it isn’t easily stored

Cell Membrane The Cell Membrane- The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell; the cell membrane is made up of phospholipids‚ proteins and carbohydrates. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell allowing certain substances into the cell‚ while keeping other substances out. The phospholipids form a thin‚ flexible sheet while the proteins float in the phospholipid sheet like an ice berg‚ and the carbohydrates extend out from the

diffusion of substances across a semipermeable membrane to gain a better understanding of how cells move materials across cell membranes. The experiment was designed to exhibit Brownian Motion; the random movement and tendency of particles of a substance to move from an area of greater concentration to lower concentration via diffusion until equilibrium has been attained. In addition to observing the passive process of diffusion‚ the experiment demonstrated how a semipermeable membrane will only allow certain

Case Study: Newsflash! Transport Proteins on Strike! 1. What is the meaning behind the PHOSPHOLIPIDS’ chant? Phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane‚ in a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipid molecules form two layers‚ with the hydrophilic (water loving) head facing the extracellular fluid and the cytosol (intracellular) fluid‚ and the hydrophobic (not water loving) tails facing one another. The cell membrane is constructed in such a way that it is semipermeable‚ and allows oxygen

Membrane Processing MEMBRANEFILTRATION A membrane or‚ more properly‚ a semipermeable membrane‚ is a thin layer of material capable of separating substances when a driving force is applied across the membrane. Membrane filtration enables to separate particles with a diameter smaller than the pore diameter in the membrane from the liquid feed‚ by applying a driving force (pressure) over the membrane. The membrane technology consists principally of Microfiltration (MF)‚ Ultrafiltration

Most people have heard of the more common states of matter: solids‚ liquids‚ and gases. Fewer people know that there are actually more states of matter‚ including the fourth and fifth states: plasma and the Bose-Einstein Condensate‚ or BEC. The plasma and Bose-Einstein Condensate states of matter‚ while having some similarities‚ are two completely different forms of matter and connect with the Kinetic Molecular Theory in differing ways. Plasma is the fourth state of matter. It’s a fluid‚ gas-like

Introduction: Proteins are necklaces of amino acids – long chains molecules. Proteins are the basis of how biology get this done. As enzymes‚ they are the driving force behind all the biochemical reactions which make biology work. As structural elements‚ they are main constituents of our bones‚ muscles‚ hair‚ skin‚ and blood vessels. As antibodies‚ they recognize invading elements and allow the immune system to get rid of the unwanted invaders. For these reasons‚ scientists have sequenced the

Experiment 2 The Cell Membrane Abstract The boundary between any cell and its environment is the plasma membrane‚ composed of a matrix of phospholipid molecules along with a number of different kinds of proteins. Membranes have different properties and a variety of functions‚ in large part determined by the specific proteins within the membrane. This experiment is designed to determine the stress that various factors‚ such as osmotic balance‚ detergents and pH‚ have on biological membranes. There are three
