Introduction to Mechanisms Yi Zhang with Susan Finger Stephannie Behrens Table of Contents 1 Physical Principles This chapter introduces the basic physical principles behind mechanisms as well as basic concepts and principles required for this course. 1.1 Force and Torque 1.1.1 Force Force: an agent or influence that‚ if applied to a free body results chiefly in an acceleration of the body and sometimes in elastic deformation and other effects. Every day we deal with forces

Outline the functions of the main cell components Every individual possess billions of cells in their body but not only is the human body functional With cells but also contains tissues‚ organs and systems which is what the human body is made up of. The cell carries out vast numbers of chemical reactions which processes in order to make up the essence of life (Moonie N‚ Aldworth C‚ Billingham M & Talman H ‚2012). Cells are usually grouped together with other cells carrying out particular tasks

Mitosis. Experimental Hypothesis: If we put onion root tips in IAA solution then the rate of Mitosis will increase. Null Hypothesis: There will be no difference Part 1- Post Lab Question If a cell contains a set of duplicated chromosomes‚ does it contain any more genetic information than the cell before the chromosomes were duplicated? No‚ because if it is duplicated‚ it would have the same number of chromosomes unless there was a mistake. Why do chromosomes condense before

Transport for London (TfL) aims to keep London moving and to continuously improve the standard of living in the city. The constant growth in population however is making this aim increasingly challenging. It is crucial for Transport for London to continue to improve their service if the city’s success is to continue. (Transport for London‚ 2015) In 2014 TfL identified their main priorities for the foreseeable future‚ safety and reliability‚ maximising capacity from the existing network and meeting

Active and passive transport are the ways in which cells allow things to move into and out of the cell through the cell membrane. They include many different ways to transport things. Passive transport requires no expenditure of energy by the cell. However‚ Active transport requires ATPs which have energy in order for it to move something through the cell membrane. There are different types of transport to suit the sizes of molecules as well. Passive transport includes diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and

Oxygen Exchange and Transport Oxygen exchange or respiration takes place at a respiratory surface; a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the body. Gas exchange is the process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide (the respiratory gases) move in opposite directions across an organism’s respiratory membranes‚ between the air or water of the external environment and the body fluids of the internal environment. Oxygen is needed by cells to extract energy from organic molecules

LABORATORY REPORT RENAL PHYSIOLOGY INTRODUCTION: The kidneys‚ which maintain the purity and constancy of our internal fluids‚ are perfect examples of homeostatic organs. They regulate the chemical content the pH and osmotic pressure of the blood. Kidneys filter gallons of fluid from the bloodstream. They then process this filtrate‚ allowing wastes and excess ions to leave the body in urine while returning needed substances to the blood in just the right proportions. Factors that affect urine

to certain defense mechanisms in order control their feelings of stress or insecurity‚ such as resorting to drugs. Nonetheless many people don’t know how dangerous it can be on their bodies. The use of drugs can have a huge impact on the communication between cells. Cell communication is a crucial process necessary for cells to carry out various functions. Drugs such as Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)‚ known as ecstasy‚ can create barriers or confusion to cells. Cell to cell communication carry
