Cell Fractionation: Isolation of Mitochondria from Cauliflower and Determination of Specific Enzyme Kinetics Introduction Mitochondria is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that play a role in biochemical processes such as respiration and energy production. Mitochondria even play an important role in apoptosis‚ or programmed cell death. This is achieved by disruption of electron transport‚ oxidative phosphorylation‚ and ATP production or even the release of proteins that trigger activation

Chemical Composition of Cells Testing for Proteins: The independent variable is the biuret reagent. The dependent variable is the solutions being used as follows; distilled water‚ albumin solution‚ and starch solution. If the protein is present‚ then the biuret will change to a violet color. Authors: Eliza Koundry and Jody Cote Eliza was in charge of adding equal amounts of biuret reagent to the distilled water‚ albumin solution‚ and the starch solution. Jody was

Cellulitis: Cellulitis is a common skin infection caused by bacteria. Causes Staphylococcus and streptococcus bacteria are the most common causes of cellulitis. The skin normally has many types of bacteria living on it. When there is a break in the skin‚ however‚ bacteria can enter the body and cause infection and inflammation. The skin tissues in the infected area become red‚ hot‚ irritated‚ and painful. Risk factors for cellulitis include: • Cracks or peeling skin between the

Every cell in the body goes through a life cycle. Cells grow and divide to replace cells that are lost because of normal wear and tear or injury to them. All cells grow and die at different rates. The cell cycle can be divided into three periods: interphase‚ the mitotic phase‚ and cytokinesis. During interphase‚ the cell grows‚ accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis‚ preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA. During the mitotic phase‚ the cell splits itself into two distinct daughter

the size of cheek cell and onion cell DCP: Introduction: In this experiment‚ Onion cells (Allium cepa) Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) were measured and compared. The aim of this experiment is to find out how both cells differ by comparing their size. Onion cells (Allium cepa) is plant cell and Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) is an animal cell. Hypothesis: The size of an animal cell (Homo sapiens) should be smaller than a plant cell (Allium cepa). Because a plant cell has cell wall which is to maintain

Animal cells do not have a cell wall. Instead of a cell wall‚ the plasma membrane (usually called cell membrane when discussing animal cells) is the outer boundary of animal cells. Animal tissues therefore require either external or internal support from some kind of skeleton. Frameworks of rigid cellulose fibrils thicken and strengthen the cell walls of higher plants. Plasmodesmata that connect the protoplasts of higher plant cells do not have a counterpart in the animal cell model. During telophase

Sickle cell disease and the hope of stem cell therapies; ethics in the treatment sickle cell. The past half century has been an era of rapid discoveries: from the humble beginnings of molecular biology‚ discovery of the structure of DNA‚ research on recombinant DNA‚ the discovery of the human embryonic stem cell (ESC)‚ the completion of the Human Genome Projects‚ mammalian cloning and the discovery of ntESCs (nuclear transfer ESCs) by somatic cell nuclear transfer and the ethical sigh of relief

Persuasive Speech Earlier this year a man was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma. A cancer that is more common in females than in males. Though a very common cancer‚ this one went untreated for years due to the fact that it was unknown that he even had it. Now you may be asking yourself‚ did the man do anything to cause the cancer? The answer to that is no‚ the man up until then lived a relatively healthy life. Cancer effects all of us is some way shape or form. You may know someone
