Bacteria, virus, and prions all play a part in our life, good and bad. Bacteria are forms of life that are considered living. That’s the difference between virus and prions, who lack the ability to reproduce once they are isolated. The reason behind that is because viruses and prions need a host to reproduce. Bacteria are single celled microbes. The cell is simpler than other organisms because there is no nucleus or membrane bound organelle. Bacteria’s genetic information is contained in a…

Briefly identify and describe the stages of interphase and mitosis associated with Figure 4.4 of your laboratory textbook. During the four phases of interphase synthesis known as chromatin condensation and cell preparatory phase of division. The following phases take place in this process: gap 1 phase (G1) (cells grow/synthesize proteins required for mitosis activating the cell’s metabolism to break down carbohydrates/lipids transforming food into energy, this phase chromosomes consist of only…

while still sharing some similarities. Prokaryotic cells, although simpler and smaller, make up most life. A nucleoid region contains a loop of nucleic acids known as a DNA plasmid. Prokaryotic cells contain simplified ribosomes which free float in cytoplasm all bound by a cell membrane and wall. Eukaryotes, on the other hand, contain complex double membraned organelles, complex DNA (arranged on chromosomes), and a nucleus. Due to the efficiency required of the cell, it is significantly larger…

to each other by hydrophobic interaction to form globules in the cytoplasm {Medina, 1998 #3}. During lipid extraction by co-solvent system, the nonpolar organic solvent penetrates though the microalgal cell envelope and interacts with the neutral lipids in globule form by van der Waals interaction to form a nonpolar solvent-neutral lipid complex {Medina, 1998 #3}{Halim, 2012 #7}. This solvent-lipid complex diffuses out of the cytoplasm by concentration gradient, and the extracted lipids remain…

chemical enthusiasts reading this, the chemical equation to describe cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 ®6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP and heat). Stage 1: Glycolysis The first stage is cellular respiration is called Glycolysis and occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. This is an anaerobic activity, meaning there is no oxygen present in this stage. Like all great endeavors,…

Vitamin D is produced in the skin in response to ultraviolet light exposure however dancers spend long periods of time indoors so have limited exposure to sunlight, as a result they are often vitamin D deficient which can lead to injuries and underperforming. The importance of vitamin D should not be overlooked as ‘Vitamin D receptor sites have been identified in virtually every tissue within the body’. Vitamin D is important in aiding the absorption of calcium which improves bone strength,…

trichosis all sound similar, but each one has a different meaning. Trichinosis means the infection with trichinae; caused by eating undercooked pork and some other meats containing Trichinella. Trichocyst means a cell structure derived from the cytoplasm. Lastly, trichosis means the disease of, or abnormal growth of, the hair., it's essential that you master the intricate lingo of medical terminology. Knowing how to spell the words correctly is just as important as knowing their meaning. 2.…

as it can’t get the nutrition it need which will result in death. The larger a cell gets, the smaller its surface area to volume ratio becomes. This is important because nutrients entering the surface of the cell must increase as the volume of cytoplasm increases. However, the increase in surface area in the growing cell cannot keep up with the increase in volume, essentially starving the cell if it becomes too large. The random error that was faced was that the cubes weren’t…

In mammals, many functions of the body are made possible with the help of ATP. ATP is made is bulk in the mitochondria, thus, the body relies heavily on the mitochondria’s supply of ATP to make life possible (McCormack, 523). Regulation of this process, by default, is important as well. The body regulates the oxidative metabolism through placing in the regulator sites, that can increase or decrease the production of ATP through changing the concentration of (McCormack, 523). The…

largest known to date, and consists of monomeric protein complexes that use the proton gradient for transport of substrates.46,47 These proteins are characterized by 12-14 membrane spanning loops that form a central pore, allowing export from the cytoplasm to the periplasm or, in Gram positive bacteria, extracellular milieu.47 In Gram negative organisms, these complexes can work in conjunction with outer membrane channels and fusion proteins associated with the RND family, and thus form efflux…
