    ESSAY ‘The structure and importance of the plasma membrane found within and around all cells’ The plasma membrane surrounds all eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded organelles whereas prokaryotic cells do not. The plasma membrane forms the boundary between the cell cytoplasm and the environment. Its function are to allow different environments to be established inside and outside the cell. It also controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell.

    How Primary Structure Determines Protein Function Proteins are everywhere. As enzymes‚ they catalyse chemical reactions. There are many different types of proteins: carrier and channel proteins which transport substances‚ receptor proteins which are recognition site for antibodies and hormones‚ structural proteins which support cells and tissues‚ and hormones which transmit information. Proteins are big molecules with large molecular masses that are made up of many amino acids; they’re‚ essentially

    Plants have two separate transport systems. A network of xylem vessels transports water and mineral ions from the roots to all other parts of the plant. Phloem tubes transport food made in the leaves to all other parts of the plant. Neither of these systems has a pump‚ this is because they are not as active as animals and do not need such rapid supplies of food. Neither xylem nor phloem transports oxygen as oxygen gets to a plants cell by diffusion. Both stems and roots contain xylem vessels and

    The function of the digestive system is to absorb and assimilate key nutrients which are required to maintain and regulate other systems in the body. Enzymes secreted within the digestive system have a role of breaking down food from proteins into amino acids‚ starch into glucose and fats into a mixture of fatty acids and glycerol. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed through the mouth and nostrils into the

    The human body has to be controlled from advanced systems internally of which connect in order to function effectively. There are ten main systems within the body of which all perform various activities and all interrelate with at least one other system; the nervous system. The most complex of all body systems‚ the nervous system controls all functions within the body. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed

    How the structure of proteins are related to their functions Rachel Morris The basic building blocks of proteins are amino acids‚ the biuret reaction tests for protein. A solution of sodium hydroxide is added to a sample then a few drops of copper sulphate solution‚ if positive – the solution will turn mauve. There are 20 different amino acids and they can be joined in any order. Therefore there can be many different functions. A protein consists of one or more polypeptide chains (a polypeptide

    Describe the physiology of the cardiovascular system in relation to energy. A.T.P is stored‚ chemical energy in the cell‚ without A.T.P we would die. To make A.T.P we need glucose oxygen. Carbon dioxide and heat are the waste products. The main function of the cardiovascular system in relation to energy is to transport the oxygen and glucose to the cells‚ and to transport the waste products such as carbon dioxide and urea (waste product from protein digestion) away from the cells and to the lungs
