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

3/21/2012 Cell Growth & Division Essay Kate Nogler Mr.Lapointe When a living thing grows‚ it produces more cells through a process called cell division. Cell division is necessary for any growing eukaryotic cell structure. Cells divide through a system called the cell cycle. It is a complicated and crucial part of anatomy! Before a cell divides‚ it must grow. However‚ a cell can’t grow forever. Once a cell gets too big‚ it divides itself into two daughter cells. A cell divides because

_____ Chapter 8-1: Cell Growth and Division Does your body grow by adding more cells‚ or by individual cells growing larger? what is the connection between surface area of a cell and how quickly the cell can exchange water‚ oxygen‚ food and wastes? what is the connection between volume of a cell and how quickly the cell uses up oxygen and food and produces wastes? What happens to surface area and volume as a cell gets larger? Describe the two main reasons why cell size is limited Compare

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

CELL REPRODUCTION DNA is the cell’s genetic material; chromosomes are the carriers of this genetic information. In proka-ryotes‚ the chromosome is a single circle of DNA. In eukaryotes‚ each chromosome is a complex of DNA and histone proteins found in the nucleus. BINARY FISSION Prokaryotic cells reproduce via binary fission. In this process‚ DNA Is replicated‚ and the cell splits in two roughly equal parts‚ each with a copy of the cell’s DNA. EUKARYOTIC CELL CYCLE Eukaryotic cells reproduce

a) Using a human cell of your choice‚ describe how organelles work together to make and secrete a protein (LO1. AC 1.1) An epithelial cell in the thyroid gland‚ called a thyrocyte forms spherical follicles that produce a protein called thyroglobulin. This is a globular protein that has a functional role in metabolism. The protein is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine

Electrochemical Cells Lab Report AP Chemistry Block 1 Analysis: The purpose of Part 1 of this laboratory is to construct a table listing the reduction potentials of a series of metal ions in order of ease of reduction. The series of half-cells is constructed by placing a piece of metal into a 1.0 M solution of its ions for each metal in the series. The metals are Cu‚ Fe‚ Pb‚ Mg‚ Ag‚ and Zn. The half-cells are connected by a salt bridge constructed of a strip of filter paper soaked in a solution

and centrifuged for 20 seconds. A polyacrylamide gel was assembled and the samples were loaded into it. The gel ran for approximately 45 minutes at 160 V. A western blot analysis was done in order to examine the Erk1/2 phosphorylation of the NIH3T3 cells. Three pieces of Whatman paper were wet in transfer buffer and placed on the anode plate. A wet PVDF membrane was placed on top of the Whatman paper. The gel was removed from holder and the stacking gel was removed. Forceps were used to place the gel
