ESSAY ‘The structure and importance of the plasma membrane found within and around all cells’ The plasma membrane surrounds all eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded organelles whereas prokaryotic cells do not. The plasma membrane forms the boundary between the cell cytoplasm and the environment. Its function are to allow different environments to be established inside and outside the cell. It also controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. The cell

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE JUST ONE INHC TALL Being just an inch tall …. Sounds really strange‚ but if I were really such‚ I would really be very unique and special. All the equipments I would use had to be very diminutive. It might sound strange but I would have lots of leverage. I can go anywhere I wish to without a travelling mode. Just a small crumb of bread would be enough for my lunch and I can also explore many new things and get new experiences. If I wanted to go surfing‚ I

Micrograph Structure (noun) Function (verb) Relationship between S/F Nucleus - Nucleus composed of chromatin‚ nucleoplasm‚ a nucleolus‚ and a nuclear envelope - Has large pores (nuclear pores/nuclear envelope) - Nuclear envelope has a double membrane - Diameter of 5 micrometers - spherical shape - controls all cell activity by directing which enzymes are made for specific functions - stores the genetic material of the cell (DNA) - directs the chemical reactions in cells by transcribing

Ch. 1: Biology: Exploring Life 1) Slides 1 and 2: What is the main difference between physiological adaptation (as in sense‚ respond and adapt to the environment) and evolutionary adaptation? Evolutionary adaptation occurs over generations. Evolutionary adaptation does involve genetic change but it’s the change in traits as a result of genetic change that drives natural selection and evolutionary adaptation (just genetic change alone won’t drive evolutionary change). Physiological adaptation is

Describe the structure and function of each of the eukaryotic organelles. ”A eukaryotic cell is sectioned by internal membranes into different functioning categories called organelles. For example‚ the nucleus houses DNA‚ the genetic component that controls the cells activities. (Boundless. “Introduction” Boundless Biology). The Cytoplasm is the material between the cell membrane and the nucleus. It has a lot of responsibilities within the cell. It contains enzymes for breaking down waste and also

STEM CELL RESEARCH AND THERAPYAND ITS IMPACTS ON SOCIETY Abstract There are several types of stem cells being used in stem cell research and therapy today. They are embryonic‚ adult and induced pluripotent stem cells. Each will be discussed further. This topic has stirred much moral‚ ethical and political debate as whether cells from fetuses should be used in this research. This impacts governmental policies on laws and funding. Another issue that must be analyzed is the

What were you afraid of when you were a child ? There were many things that I was scared of when I was little. Some of the fears I acquired were due to prevailing gossips and unfounded tales talked about by the people who were close to me - friends‚ cousins and my parents. But as I mature into my teenage years‚ I realised the folly and absurdities of my fears. In fact‚ some of them were so ludicrous like lurking monsters under my bed and demon-like character that brutally attacked anyone

What is Hypothesis Testing? A statistical hypothesis is an assumption about a population parameter. This assumption may or may not be true. Hypothesis testing refers to the formal procedures used by statisticians to accept or reject statistical hypotheses. Statistical Hypotheses Null hypothesis. The null hypothesis‚ denoted by H0‚ is usually the hypothesis that sample observations result purely from chance. Alternative hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis‚ denoted by H1 or Ha‚ is the hypothesis

biology‚ cell theory is a scientific theory that describes the properties of cells‚ which are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction. The initial development of the theory‚ during the mid-17th century‚ was made possible by advances in microscopy; the study of cells is called cell biology. Cell theory is one of the foundations of biology.The observations of Hooke‚ Leeuwenhoek‚ Schleiden‚ Schwann‚ Virchow‚ and others led to the development of the cell theory
