    • 2 Pages

    Cells‚ in a lot of ways‚ are like factories. All the parts of a cell work together to accomplish common goals‚ just like parts of a factory. Each part also has a specific function‚ to make getting the job done a lot easier. The floor of a factory is a lot like the cytoplasm in a cell. It kind of keeps everything where it needs to be‚ and helps direct organelles around the cell‚ much like the pathways on the floor around the machines. The cell membrane in a cell is very similar to the outside

    temperature on beet cell membranes Introduction: A cell membrane of a beet (Beta Vulgaris) is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and cholesterols. The membrane is responsible for organizing the cell‚ protecting it from the exterior environment‚ as well as responsible for regulating what goes in and out of the cell though it’s protein channels and “selectively permeable” bilayer. (Campbell‚ Reece‚ Taylor & Simon‚ 2006‚ p. 79-80) When this membrane is damaged the reddish

    Blood Cells Leukocytes (WBC’s) Leukocytes also known as white blood cells (WBCs) are cells which play a defensive roll in the body against injury and infection. They migrate towards tissues where they are needed and become functional performing various activities. WBCs can be divided into 2 groups: Polymorphonuclear granulocytes and mononuclear agranulocytes. Both types are spherical while suspended in blood plasma but when they invade tissues after leaving the blood vessels they become amoeboid

    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

    The Function of the Human Eye Inarguably‚ the human eye is one of the most complex human organs in the body. The eye aids in almost every activity that people participate in (excluding pin the tail on the donkey). Scientists can only guess at the probability in evolution of the eye being formed; there are so many variables that a close number would be incalculable. The eye is an extraordinary part of the human body; most people agree that is the most important sensory organ. The eye sends messages
