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

allow cell phones to be sold without pre-market testing. The rationale‚ known as the “low power exclusion‚” distinguished cell phones from dangerous microwave ovens based on the amount of power used to push the microwaves. At that time‚ the only health effect seen from microwaves involved high power strong enough to heat human tissue. The pressure worked‚ and cell phones were exempted from any type of regulatory oversight‚ an exemption that continues today. An eager public grabbed up the cell phones

Introduction Using microscopes allows humans to see things they’ve otherwise would have never seen before‚ like cells. A cell is the basic unit of life. All living things are made of cells. All cells come from preexisting cells through a process called cellular division. There are two types of cells‚ eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are very simple and small. They are unicellular and have no membrane bound organelles. Their DNA is found directly in the cytoplasm since they have no nucleus

Exam 1 Study Guide These topics will be on the exam. ▪ What are the tenets of cell theory? • Cells are the basic structural and physiological units of all living organisms. • Cells are both distinct entities and building blocks of more complex organisms. OR • All living organisms are composed of one or more cells‚ Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism‚ and Cells come only from the reproduction of existing cells.

differences between cancer cells and normal cell. Some of the differences are well known ‚where as others have only been recently discovered and are less well understood.You may be interested in how cancer cells are different as you are coping with your own cancer or of a loved one. For many researchers understanding how does cancer cells function differently from normal cells foundation for developing treatments designed to rid the body of cancer cells without damaging normal cells. First‚ when it comes

The human genome project‚ together with research on stem cells‚ will form the basis of most medical treatments in the next few decades. Before discussing this statement it is important to analyse each component. What is a genome? And why is it relevant to us? A genome is the building block of all living organisms‚ it consists of the mapping or instructions to how an organism functions‚ and it does this through the use of DNA and genes. Genes are a group of DNA; Genes hold instructions and information

The cells of the adaptive immune system are special types of leukocytes‚ called lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes‚ B cells and T cells‚ which are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response‚ whereas B cells are involved in the humoral immune response. The surface of each lymphatic cell has receptors that enable them to recognize foreign substances. There are two major subtypes of T cells: the helper T cell and

Cell Fusion Introduction: The fusion of cells is a fundamental biological event that is essential for a variety of developmental and homeostatic processes. The importance of cell-cell fusion during development and disease is displayed in a variety of biological processes including‚ but not limited to‚ fertilization‚ development of tissues‚ the immune response‚ and aspects of tissue regeneration due to stem cells (Chen and Olson‚ 2005). Fertilization‚ which is the fusion of sperm and egg‚

cCELL PHONES A cell phone is the biggest invention of this century. It changed our lives dramatically and nothing is the same anymore. Especially combining computer and phone made such a different world for everyone. The reason for the invention was to help us communicating easily‚ but in my opinion it also causes us to cut off communication between people. First of all‚ we became virtual humans because we are constantly texting and using social media on our phones‚ we also start having virtual
