Cell Respiration Respiration is the process by which organisms burn food to produce energy. The starting material of cellular respiration is the sugar glucose‚ which has energy stored in its chemical bonds. You can think of glucose as a kind of cellular piece of coal: chock-full of energy‚ but useless when you want to power a stereo. Just as burning coal produces heat and energy in the form of electricity‚ the chemical processes of respiration convert the energy in glucose into usable form. Adenosine

Mast cell tumors are the most common skin tumor found in dogs (The National Canine Cancer Foundation). According to the ASPCA Complete Guide to dogs mast cell tumors are‚ “solitary masses on the surface of the skin and in the tissue immediately under the skin” (Gerstenfeld and Schultz‚ p. 431). Essentially if a dog has a mast cell tumor‚ then that dog has cancer. There are three types grades for these tumors. The first grade is when it occurs in the skin‚ is non-malignant and do not spread.

I am proposing a stem cell treatment for glaucoma that could that could heal the effects caused by glaucoma. This stem cell treatment allows for a promising non controversial solution to glaucoma induced blindness that could be easily produced and supported by the general public. Glaucoma is the build-up of fluid inside

Stem Cells Stem Cells are fundamentally cell templates. These cell templates are used to create all the cells in our body. Stem cells under the right circumstances are manipulated into other cells‚ such as mussel cells and liver cells. The thing that makes stem cells so useful is that not only can they become almost any cell in your body but they also have the special characteristics to be able to self re-new or multiplying while still keeping the potential to become useful cells for our body

What was once thought to be the content of fiction novels and comic books is now being fully explored and realized in the cutting edge world of modern science. Scientists now possess the necessary capabilities and technology to make the process of human cloning a reality. While this is a controversial and rather sensitive topic‚ cloning is an innovative practice that has the potential to vastly improve the lives of unlimited amounts of people. Although cloning may prove to be a useful remedy for

The most common method of cloning is called “The Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer” which requires two different cells. One cell is the Somatic

Embryonic stem cells help treat tough diseases that our bodies attracted‚ and can not fight off. If we continue to use embryonic stem cells then the treatment for these tough diseases will be more efficient. “ Stem cells are expected to be most useful in treating tough diseases.(those that arise from problems with various genes‚ and are often related to environmental causes)” (Pearson). This information is saying that embryonic stem cells are more useful than any other stem cells because they are

the new scientific phenomenon that is reproductive cloning. Cloning is a form of asexual reproduction that makes identical genomic copies of the original animal either by producing specific cells or tissue‚ where reproductive cloning has the ability to clone the entire animal that is produced by a single cell. This process differs drastically from original sexual reproduction. Normal sexual reproduction occurs when a sperm that contains one set of chromosomes (23) reaches and fertilizes with an egg
