Question 1 Table 1 shows the results for the absorbance values of different concentrations of NaCl, glucose, and tween 20. These solutions were absorbed at 540 nm and 640 nm. Table 2 shows the results of the red blood cells once they were submerged in different concentrations of NaCl and Tween 20. Something is said to be hypo-osmotic if the solution has fewer osmoles per unit volume when mixed with something else (Silverthorn, 2014). The solution in this experiment that was hypo-osmotic…

The process starts by binding of heat shock proteins to a large range of peptides under cellular stress conditions or during synthesis, after this reaction they can reach the extracellular space following to viral lysis or nacrosis, they also can carry antigenic peptides for cross-priming. Various number of bacteria can upregulate chemokines such as MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and RANTES across binding to CD40. The interactions of Hsp-70-peptide-CD40 can lead to the uptake of…

Being an inhabitant of all environments, from aquatic to terrestrial, from soil to distilled water, from plants to humans, P. aeruginosa is the quintessence of microbial arms depot. It produces a wide range of secondary metabolites to protect its niche from other fungi and distantly related bacteria. In order to fight fellow Pseudomonads and other closely related bacterial species that may compete for common niches, all strains of P. aeruginosa also produce a broad range of bacteriocins referred…

only one side of the bilayer produces a surface area difference between the top and bottom layers which creates a wedge effect. This method of action is why melittin is classified as a “surface layer protein” and is the most likely mechanism used for lysis. (Godballe,…

lactic fermentation. Some key components contain NADH, electrons, hydrogen, oxygen, waters and ATP. Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that changes glucose into pyruvate located in the cytosol. The word originated from Greek term glycol- sugar and lysis- to break. A series of chemical reactions, such as Glycolysis, plays a big role in cell processes. In order for glycolysis to be completed there are the essential steps. In the beginning, 2 groups of phosphates are attached to a 6-carbon…

the first symptoms are not far apart. Using the new instructions from the viruses DNA, the host’s cell begin to create viral cells, to the point that the cell membrane breaks apart, and setting free all the new viral cells. This is referred to as lysis. The new viral cells then go on to repeat the lytic cycle on other uninfected…

central pulmonary embolus is found. Both of those also point to a type of lymphoma being present. He is then diagnosed with stage IV Burkitt lymphoma and chooses to undergo Intrathecal chemotherapy through lumbar puncture. The patient developed tumor lysis syndrome and was readmitted into the hospital two months after the initial diagnosis. Though Burkitt lymphoma is rare in adults and not often present in the U.S., it is very common in other regions of the world such as Africa and Papua New…

Inflammation is a defense mechanism where the body’s white blood cells fight off bacteria, viruses, and damaged cells(Feeling the Heat- the Link between Inflammation and Cancer, 2013) . When pathogenic cells enter the body, the white blood cells surround that invasion site immediately(Feeling the Heat- the Link between Inflammation and Cancer, 2013) . The white blood cells then release a specific toxic chemical that denatures the pathogen enough to kill it(Feeling the Heat- the Link between…

provides screening for patients. Even continuity of care can only work with the active involvement from the patient and cooperation with the nurse and the medical team involved with the patient. My patient had an exploratory laparotomy with extensive lysis of adhesions, discharge needs will include prevention…

There are many organisms in the world. In microbiology lab, I was given an unknown organism and I was told I must figure out what organism it truly is. I had the honor to conduct a few experiments to come to an conclusion on what the type and name of the organism was. Each member of my class was given a plate of agar and a random number that correspond to the plate of agar. I was given the number 191. The agar contain a bacteria growth. In the end of my experiments I realize my unknown organism…
