Organelles in the Cell Cells are the smallest structural unit of all organs and organ systems. They are essential to life. Both animal species and plant species need cells to maintain life. Cells have many and are made up of many organelles that have specific jobs. Animal and plants cells are different, but mainly composed of the same things. Each organelle is significant to its cell, which are the building blocks of life. At the center of almost every cell is a dense organelle called the…

A lot of things have one “personality”, in common. But some have more and some have less. For example, if the organisms from a plant cell was compared to a school, they would be alike because a school has students helping to school or the “base” and in a plant cell, all the different organisms act like those students. But don’t worry, a plant cell doesn’t just have to be compared to a school. It could be compared to a person, a project, another kind of cell, and basically anything else. So today…

Cell Analogy Summative = Introduction Cells need to carry on the same basic functions as we do to sustain life; the difference is cells do this with much smaller parts. These smaller structures that allow the cell to function are called organelles – “tiny organs.” It’s only common sense that if you are able to relate things you learned in class to everyday things, you’ll remember it better. It’s not everyday that you and your friends sit around at Starbucks discussing the rough endoplasmic…

Farber lipogranulomatosis, or simply Farber’s disease, is a lysosomal storage disorder that involves the hydrolysis and use of lipids. A lysosomal storage disorder is a defect in the function of a lysosome, enzymes that hydrolyze large molecules and then move the fragments on to other parts of the cell for other uses. Farber’s disease is a rare, genetic condition that involves a deficiency in the enzyme, ceramidase. Ceramidase is a lysosomal acid that causes cell growth, cellular differentiation…

mitosis. There are 2 types of eukaryotic cell: plant and animal cells. They contain organelles such ribosomes, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, nucleolus, centrioles, cell membrane, flagella, cilia, microtubules, chloroplast and lysosomes. Animal Cell: Plant Cell: The nucleus controls and stores genetic material. It manages the cells activities for…

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 TUBERCULOSIS Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB is a major global health problem and it ranks alongside Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) as a leading cause of death worldwide. According to the estimates of WHO global tuberculosis report of 2015, there were 9.6 million people who developed TB and 1.5 million who died from the disease in 2014. 1.2 TRANSMISSION AND PATHOGENESIS OF TB TB infection occurs when…

As we all know and have been studying as scientist that the cell is the basic unit of life. The cell provides structure for the body, takes in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients to energy and carries out specialized functions. The cell is composed of many parts, all with different functions. The cell is made up of two major parts which include the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope, which can also be referred to as the nuclear membrane which is…

Biologist Lynn Margulis first proposed the philosophy of endosymbiosis in the 1960s ("Endosymbiosis and The Origin of Eukaryotes", 2016) revealing that other cellular organelles such chloroplasts, as being similar to mitochondria.This includes their self-replicating ability and a double mellbrane accompanying their ribosomes and DNA. Such evidence suggests, Chloroplast organelles were also once f8-living bacteria ("Endosymbiosis and The Origin of Eukaryotes", 2016). Given that the first…

not even recognize that the abnormal proteins are there, so it cannot fight off the disease. When the prion becomes abnormal, it changes its shape and can influence other proteins to change shape as well. This conversion takes place in lysosomes and causes the lysosome to rupture. When it ruptures, it leaks enzymatic contents into the cell. This causes the cell to digest itself and die, and the prions can then attack other cells. Once enough cells are killed, it can leave the visible holes in…

Gaucher disease is an abnormality fat of storage in three divisions of the brain stem. It is an increasingly genetic and a very rare disorder that is most common in family members. The people who suffer the most, have consequences in the lack of of levels of a certain enzyme in the body. Because of this, a fatty lipid spreads throughout one’s human body. This disease is also known to be called lysosomal storage disorder. This type of disorder can cause symptoms to happen at any time of your life…
