The cell‚ which is the smallest unit of life‚ is surrounded by a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane functions somewhat like a wall‚ as it keeps the internal contents from the external environment. Just like a wall‚ the membrane is also somewhat permeable‚ except that the membrane takes a much more active role in determining what is allowed in to the cell and what is kept out. The plasma membrane is a very thin structure‚ which has some very important tasks. One of the main tasks that it performs

Observing Bacteria Kelli Jo Simco Microbiology Due: 2/8/13 Abstract: Microscopes are fragile instruments that must be handle with extreme caution as they can produce high quality results when observing the smallest specimens on earth. A microscope must be properly cleaned before use and storage. The different objectives allow for a range of observations. At the highest objectives‚ the resolution can easily be lost which is why the oil immersion lens is used to minimize refraction. While

Ben Grygiel Professor Sides ENG-101-D260 1 September 2013 “Observing the Ordinary” Why do people tend to feel attached to “things”? This is a very good question that needs some thought behind it to give you a clear understanding why people feel this way. It’s in our nature to show emotions. If you think about it‚ everything we do in our lives we are showing some sort of emotion or feelings. When I think of people being attached to “things” the first thing that pops in my head is little kids

by using the application of membrane have become highly demand in various industries. In this newly separation process ‚ the membrane function as a semi-permeable barrier and the separation process occur by the membrane controlling the rate of movement of various molecules between two liquid phases ‚ two gas phases or a mixture of a gas phase and liquid phase. In industries‚ many companies have high demand on both quality and quantity of water for production. Membrane process can be used to separate

Observing a Stranger I picked to do my observation of a woman at a park playing with her son. It was on Monday are last day of nice beautiful warm sunny weather we had this week. And the park was packed with lots of children and their mothers. All enjoying themselves before the rain was to return. This woman I observed was about 5ft 2in and about 130lbs. She had long brown hair with some blond and purple strips in it. She was also very tan for this time of year. She was dress in black short and

The sights‚ sounds‚ feelings and smells that occur are just as remarkable as sitting in a park observing the life around me. Looking through my fifth floor window I can easily see two miles into the distance. The sun sets off an explosion of reds‚ blues‚ oranges and purples into the sky‚ that are visible to any naked eye.

Experiment 1- Title: Observing Bacteria and Blood Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to learn how to use a compound microscope and an oil immersion lens while observing prepared bacterial slides. Additionally‚ it will be necessary to prepare slides so as to observe bacterial cultures from yogurt as well as to observe the composition of blood (i.e. red blood cells‚ white blood cells‚ and platelets). Procedure: Exercise 1: Viewing Prepared Slides To begin this lab experiment I

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

called peptidoglycans. Just inside the cell wall is a less rigid envelope called the plasma membrane also known as the cytoplasmic membrane. In bacterial cells the plasma membrane has two primary functions: it serves as a selective barrier to molecules that are penetrating the cell wall allowing water and oxygen to flow easily into the cell but restricting other proteins from entering; secondly‚ the plasma membrane contains enzymes proteins that cause chemical reactions to occur that are vital to the
