Sickle Cell Anemia‚ also known as Sickle Cell Disease‚ is a disease that causes the production of abnormal hemoglobin. The red blood cells (RBCs) carry oxygen to organs and tissues. Hemoglobin‚ a molecule in the RBCs‚ is a protein that attaches to the oxygen in the lungs and carries it to all parts of the body. Hemoglobin takes on the oxygen‚ and releases carbon dioxide‚ a process known as oxygenation. In the tissues‚ deoxygenation occurs where the processes is reversed‚ when hemoglobin releases
Premium Red blood cell Hemoglobin Sickle-cell disease
Abstract Sickle-cell disease is a genetic disorder that results from the abnormal structure of red blood cells. The peculiar shape of the red blood cell prevents the normal absorption of oxygen. This disease results from the abnormal production of hemoglobin S (HbS). Therefore‚ a mutation in this gene causes a lower supply of oxygen to the cells‚ which results in occlusion of the blood vessels. Individuals diagnosed with sickle-cell anemia have abnormal function of the gene that encodes for subunit

for the majority of American teens. 1 Cell-phone texting has become the preferred channel of basic communication between teens and their friends and cell calling is a close second. Some 75% of 12-17 year-olds now own cell phones‚ up from 45% in 2004. Those phones have become indispensable tools in teen communication patterns. Fully 72% of all teens – or 88% of teen cell phone users — are text-messagers.2 That is a sharp rise from the 51% of teens who were texters in 2006. More than half of teens

century‚ little was known about cell membranes. Until the early 1950s‚ the biological cell membrane was rarely mentioned in scientific literature. It was recognised that something was probably there‚ but hardly anything about it was known. Considering the lack of technical equipment available a century ago‚ scientists such as Charles Overton and Edwin Gorter were not only exploring new territory in looking at the properties of cell membranes‚ but laying the way for future cell biologists. Scientists had

Cells are a system that creates a product or proteins. To help gain a better understanding of the system of a cell and how it works‚ I will use the analogy “A cell is like an Airport.” The plant cell is the only cell that contains a cell wall. The cell wall’s job is similar to a security gate. The cell wall provides an extra layer of support and protection for the cell‚ just like a security gate would protect the airport. Next‚ the cell membranes job is the same as the airports front doors. The front

Gene expression is the ability of a gene to produce a biologically active protein. This process is regulated by the cells of an organism‚ it is very important to the survival of organisms at all levels. This is much more complex in eukaryotes than in prokaryotes. A major difference is the presence in eukaryotes of a nuclear membrane‚ which prevents the simultaneous transcription and translation that occurs in prokaryotes. Initiation of protein transcription is started by RNA polymerase. The activity
