TRANSPORT IN MAMMALS Blood is a connective tissue and every connective tissue consists of cell‚ ground substance or matrix and fibres. For blood‚ it has cells‚ matrix in the form of plasma and fibres in the form of fibrin. In transportation‚ the surface area to the volume ratio of organisms contributes to the rate of movement of materials. For example in Hydra‚ and flat worms‚ the ratio is so high so simple diffusion can allow substances to reach all tissues easily. If the ratio is low‚ in mechanisms

unknown amino acid. Within experimental error‚ the results were consistent with the reference literature cited in this report. Experimental Thin Layer Chromatography The amino acid standards used in this experiment were Alanine‚ Glycine‚ Serine‚ and Histidine. These standards and the unknown were separated by performing a method of chromatography. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed by using a mobile phase and a stationary phase. The mobile phase was a nonpolar solvent composed of ethanol

Transport for London (TfL) aims to keep London moving and to continuously improve the standard of living in the city. The constant growth in population however is making this aim increasingly challenging. It is crucial for Transport for London to continue to improve their service if the city’s success is to continue. (Transport for London‚ 2015) In 2014 TfL identified their main priorities for the foreseeable future‚ safety and reliability‚ maximising capacity from the existing network and meeting

It was concluded that the product created was paracetamol when a thin layer chromatography test was performed and observed under ultraviolet light (which is discussed further down the page). An unknown substance was treated with acetic anhydrate and resulted with paracetamol. A compound that behaves in this matter is 4-aminophenol and is widespread in the industrial production of this drug. Upon these observations was the build up of “Chemical A” decided. When 4-aminophenol is t treated with

Working with suppliers to ensure their prices are constantly low‚ but also means price changes are kept to a minimum. Aiming to become lowest cost producer‚ the firm can compete on the price with every other industries and earn higher unit profits. Cost reduction provides the focus of the organization strategy. It targets a broad

The ozone layer diminishes more each year. As the area of polar ozone depletion (commonly called the ozone hole) gets larger‚ additional ultraviolet rays are allowed to pass through. These rays cause cancer‚ cataracts‚ and lowered immunity to diseases.1 What causes the depletion of the ozone layer? In 1970‚ Crutzen first showed that nitrogen oxides produced by decaying nitrous oxide from soil-borne microbes react catalytically with ozone hastening its depletion. His findings started

Gaseous exchange and transport Movement of chemicals in plants and animals -Chemicals that are being moved into the body‚ within the body or out of the body are gases‚ this movement is known as gaseous exchange. -The gases being moved in our out of the body need to move across the surface area of the body‚ in most cases a special surface area has been developed. -The surface that the gases cross is called the respiratory surface and the gases move across this surface by the process of diffusion
