Cell Unit Notes I. Life Processes - What makes something living? A. Biotic: Having life’s conditions Abiotic: Not having life’s conditions Homeostasis: The condition of maintaining a constant internal environment in living organisms. B. Characteristics of living Organisms (LIFE) 1. Nutrition - Food for energy and body (cell) repair and development 2. Transport - Move materials were needed in organism 3. Respiration - Able to generate energy for life processes

Cell Fractionation: Isolation of Mitochondria from Cauliflower and Determination of Specific Enzyme Kinetics Introduction Mitochondria is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that play a role in biochemical processes such as respiration and energy production. Mitochondria even play an important role in apoptosis‚ or programmed cell death. This is achieved by disruption of electron transport‚ oxidative phosphorylation‚ and ATP production or even the release of proteins that trigger activation

The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear cubes ‘Pyrus’ after being soaked in water Aim: The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear ‘Pyrus’ pieces shaped as cubes of 1cm. Background: Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. Water makes up to 70-90% of living cells and cell membranes are partially permeable membranes. Dissolved substances attract

Chemical Composition of Cells Testing for Proteins: The independent variable is the biuret reagent. The dependent variable is the solutions being used as follows; distilled water‚ albumin solution‚ and starch solution. If the protein is present‚ then the biuret will change to a violet color. Authors: Eliza Koundry and Jody Cote Eliza was in charge of adding equal amounts of biuret reagent to the distilled water‚ albumin solution‚ and the starch solution. Jody was

Just yesterday‚ we got thrilling news that the Russian Army‚ also known as the Red Army has attacked‚ entered‚ and conquered concentration camp Buna within Poland. The Red Army has been trying to infiltrate the concentration camps to stop the mass amount of murdering that is currently happening within those camps‚ death by gas chambers‚ the enormous crematoriums‚ or just shooting the Jews. Not only has the Red Army invaded camp Buna‚ they have also saved many Jews who were in the infirmary. There

Euglena cells contain a variety of cellular constituents‚ their cellular constituents should be presented in equal ratio. The objective of this experiment is to determine Euglena’s cellular components in cells and then to establish their cellular constituents by comparing the experimental results to the expected concentrations given on pg 10 of the lab manual. Concentration of cells in stock culture used for extraction =9.0×105 cells/ml Total number of cells used for

Cells must move materials through membranes and throughout cytoplasm in order to maintain homoeostasis. The movement is regulated because cellular membranes‚ including the plasma and organelle membranes‚ are selectively permeable[1]. The purpose of an automatic flow of molecules is to create equilibrium on each side of the membrane. In order for molecules to pass through the membranes‚ there must be pores. The size of the pore determines what molecules can cross. Due to the size and polarity‚ only

The Chelmno concentration camp was used as an extermination camp during the Holocaust. It was known by the Germans as Kulmhof concentration camp. This camp operated in two periods during the war; from December 8th‚ 1941 to March 1943‚ and from June 1944 to January 18th‚ 1945. The first period was open during the most deadly phase of the Holocaust known as Aktion Reinhard and the second period was open during the Soviet counteroffensive. This camp was specifically built to exterminate Polish Jews

different solutions with various sucrose concentration influenced osmosis in relation to three onion cells and the impact on the cells structure. A small square of a red onion skin (membrane) was observed under a microscope at high power (X40) magnification. The observation showed a large number of onion cells. The structure of one onion cell had a general rectangular shape with a developed cell wall‚ which gives the rectangular shape to the cell and a cell membrane just beneath it. The observation
