Alexandria Agee Ms. Songer AP Biology February 16 2015 Sickle Cell Anemia: Case Study Summary Sickle Cell Anemia is a painful diseases that is caused by a mutation in the protein called hemoglobin which helps carry oxygen in red blood cells. Because of the mutation‚ the hemoglobin is shaped oddly which results in pain because it is hard for the blood to travel throughout the body and anemia because of the lack of oxygen in the blood. A person can only have this disease if both parents are carriers

Sickle Cell Anemia first came into the view of the world around 1910 when Dr. James Herrick; a cardiologist‚ had a patient who complained of pain and described symptoms that sounded like anemia. He handed the case down to his assistant who‚ after taking a blood sample‚ discovered that the patient’s blood cells were not shaped like normal blood cells. When the patient’s blood cells were compared to normal blood cells‚ they appeared to be “sickle shaped”. After seeing this for himself Dr. Herrick took

Differentiating Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells‚ Distinguish Among Plant‚ Animal‚ and Protist Cells‚ and Identifying the Organelles that are Evident in Them Introduction There are two different types of cells‚ prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes‚ such as bacteria‚ lack a nuclear membrane and other membrane bound organelles. Their genetic material consists of a single molecule of singular DNA. Eukaryotes‚ such as plant and animal cells‚ have a nuclear membrane and other membrane bound

Period: H Plants and Animal Cells Abstract: In this lab‚ you will find out how plant and animal cells are alike and how they are different. The onion elodea cells were both plants‚ so they had a cell wall. The cheek cells were animal cells‚ so they did not have a cell wall. Eukaryotic cells contain structures called organelles that carry out life processes. Eukaryotic cells can be classified by the types of organelles they contain. In plant and animal cells‚ similarities and differences exist because of varied life functions
