    Gene Expression. Totipotent Cells are undifferentiated cells‚ such as embryonic stem cells‚ that are not yet defined in their function. In animals‚ stem cells are totipotent. Plants have far more types of totipotent cells (Think of how you can make cuttings of plants‚ and grow an entirely new plant‚ given the right conditions?) Cells loose totipotency‚ as‚ with age‚ different genes are swtiched on/off. When certain genes are switched of‚ they are not translated to produce polypeptides‚ meaning

    A mitochondrion (Terminologia histologica: Mitochondrion) is a cell organelle of eucaryotes with ovoid shape that is the major source for intracellular energy. Mitochondria are present in all but mature red blood cells. They can migrate through the cytoplasm and change their shape. These organelles have an outer unit membrane (membrana mitochondrialis externa) and an inner membrane (membrana mitochondrialis interna). The latter has protrusions into the matrix (mitochondrial plasma). Depending on

    The Biological Importance of Water! The ultimate importance of water is none other than the fact that life cannot exist without it. Water being the major component of our body cells‚ typically making 70-95% of it‚ constructs the body mass with approximately 80% being water. Humans are not the only ones who contain the valued material but other creatures like the jellyfish hold 96% of water as their body mass. The structure of the water molecules enables it to have extreme properties that are

    gravity. Water can be pulled upward through tiny tubes because of the remarkable cohesion of water so that they form a continuous stream extending from leaves to root. The integrity of the column is also maintained by the adhesion of water to the xylem walls (Pidwirny‚ 2006). These are important facts because when water is sticking together it means more water is pulled up the stem to replace the water loss. Evaporation is the process of water changing from a liquid into a gas (Pidwirny‚ 2006)

    The Biological Importance of Lipids Lipids are organic compounds found in all types of plant and animal cells. They always contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen‚ however the relative amount of oxygen is less than the amount of carbohydrates in lipids. Lipids are polymers and the long chains of repeating units are joined together in a condensation reaction where water is also produced. The most common types of lipids are triglycerides‚ phospholipids and waxes. Triglycerides are formed by three fatty
