The kidney is made up of nephrons‚ which are a kidney’s functional units. These nephrons collect fluid filtered from the blood. The kidney connects to the renal artery‚ renal‚ vein‚ and ureter. Purified blood leaves the kidney using the renal vein‚ urine leaves using a ureter and the renal artery carries blood from the aorta to the kidney. The nephron has a cup-shaped nephric capsule that surrounds a cluster of capillaries called the glomerulus. A good deal of fluid from the blood filters into the

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

What Are The Major Components of Biological Membranes And How Do They Contribute To Membrane Function?. Summary. The role of the biological membrane has proved to be vital in countless mechanisms necessary to a cells survival. The phospholipid bilayer performs the simpler functions such as compartmentation‚ protection and osmoregulation. The proteins perform a wider range of functions such as extracellular interactions and metabolic processes. The carbohydrates are found in conjunction

Evidence for and against the Davson – Danielli model of the membrane structure Analysis of evidence from electron microscopy that led to the proposal of the Davson-Danielli model 1. A lighter area sandwiched in between two darker layers 2. Proteins appear dark in electron micrographs and phospholids appear light. This appearance supports the Davson-Danielli model. 3. Proteins stain darkly‚ suggesting that the dark pattern of the cytoplasm of the red blood cell is the distribution of proteins 4

Title Membrane Permeability Aim To determine the effect of various chemicals and high temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot Hypothesis Organic solvent and high temperature will destroy the cell membrane and make it permeable to the red pigment. The higher the concentration of the alcohol‚ the greater will be this effect. Principle Beetroot is the material used in this experiment to demonstrate the effects of high temperature and chemicals on the permeability of the cell membranes

Chapter 15 Accounting in a Global Market QUESTIONS 1. Foreign currency exchange rates are used to express transactions in local currency in terms of U.S. dollars and vice versa. For example‚ if the exchange rate is $1 = 1.65 DM (Deutsche mark)‚ and if one wishes to change 100 U.S. dollars into Deutsche marks‚ one will receive $100 ( 1.65 = 165 DM‚ and if one wishes to change 100 DM to U.S. dollars‚ one will receive 100 DM/1.65 = $60.61. 2. A foreign currency transaction occurs when a transaction

gets to a plants cell by diffusion. Both stems and roots contain xylem vessels and phloem tubes. In a stem these are grouped into vascular bundles arranged in a ring. In a root these are arranged in the centre forming a structure called the stele. Xylem tissue has the dual functions of support and transport. It contains several different types of cells these are vessel elements‚ traceids‚ fibres and parenchyma cells. In contrast to this phloem tissue is living and comprises of sieve tubes‚ phloem

Discuss the structure of the plasma membrane and explain the process of active and passive transport through the membrane. The plasma membrane is made up of proteins that form pores and channels‚ carbohydrate molecules that are used for cell recognition and cholesterol to provide membrane stability. Phospholipid molecules are the most abundant component found in the plasma membrane. Phospholipids molecules are composed of a phosphate head and a lipid tail; the structure of a cell membrane is a
