Red blood cell From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia [pic] Human red blood cells (6-8μm) Red blood cells (also referred to as erythrocytes) are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrateorganism’s principal means of delivering oxygen (O2) to the body tissues via the blood flow through thecirculatory system. They take up oxygen in the lungs or gills and release it while squeezing through the body’scapillaries. These cells’ cytoplasm is rich in hemoglobin‚ an iron-containing biomolecule that

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Because of the selective permeability of the membrane only water and other very small particles (iodine) can be diffused through simple diffusion. The solution out of the dialysis tubing had a higher distelled iodine concentration of solutes (iodine + H2O) than did the starch solution. So iodine move into the cell and react with starch molecules to formed starchiodine‚ the blue compound

supernatant liquid and denser slurry having a higher concentration of solids. This is usually accomplished by allowing the particles to settle through the force of gravity‚ mechanically using centrifugal force‚ or electrostatically using an electric current. Continuous sedimentation tanks are usually used in wastewater treatment facilities to separate suspended particles from wastewater. This experiment aims to determine the effect of initial concentration and initial height of the slurry on its settling

Sometimes it’s impossible to believe that there was a time when cell phones weren’t around. The only communicating means were letters or direct conversation. The beginning of the phone era saw only communication facilities‚ where people used them just to communicate with each other but then came the cell phone era which added the facilities to be able to use it as a portable device and now you can just do anything and everything on a cell phone.

KAAPA Ethanol‚ established in November of 2003‚ has created many new opportunities and jobs for the industry. Scott McPheeters and Shana Dahlgren gave an enthralling presentation of how ethanol system works and the benefits of the country’s adoption of ethanol and its byproducts. Video presentations were able to captivate the audience’s attention while it presented facts about the industry. McPheeters gave the delegates a trivia game to play that was filled with interesting information. He informed

10-8-09 Biology Essay: Parts of a Cell Describe the fluid-mosaic model of a plasma membrane. Discuss the role of the membrane in the movement of materials through each of the following processes: a.) Active Transport b.) Passive Transport All living cells contain a plasma membrane‚ which acts a boundary for the cell. The plasma membrane regulates the cell’s chemical composition because it uses selective permeability to allow certain substances to enter or exit the cell more easily than others. The

The effect of 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
