Introduction All living organisms have need of a constant supply of energy, for the maintenance of their life processes. Energy can be defined as the ability to do work, hence, for metabolic reactions to occur a supply of energy is needed. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but transfers from one state to another. Photosynthesis and Respiration, are two processes involved in the production of energy. These processes will now be examined.…

Viral pathogens use liver cells to replicate, then attach to their lipid droplets to to accumulate, assemble and bud off into the rest of the body. Liver produces and secretes LDL, VLDL and HDL which are taken up by every cell in the body that uses cholesterol, including the liver cells that take them up too.2 Viruses hijack these lipoproteins and use them to get into the liver cells, where they replicate, which opens up a gateway to the rest of the body. They replicate within the endoplasmic…

1. What is the presumptive diagnosis and at least two other potential diagnoses in the differential? Why is the presumptive diagnosis most likely? Hurthle Cell Carcinoma. This is the presumptive diagnosis at this point. The evidence that supports this is the cells were large and brightly eosinophilic which is likely the staining of the mitochondria within the cell. The combination of the eosinophilic staining and poorly formed follicles, likely makes this tumor follicular cell tumor more…

cells take up extracellular substances within vesicles.. s. Endocytosis 18. This is an extension of the plasma membrane that will surround a particle outside the cell forming a vesicle. t. Pseudopod 19. The function of the cytosol is. u. Location of chemical…

31 - Describe the biochemistry of the Cori cycle and the glucose–alanine cycle. How are they regulated and under what physiological conditions are they activated? The Cori cycle and glucose-alanine cycle are two mechanisms that involve cycling of nutrients between the liver and muscle. Lactate and alanine are two glucogenic molecules that are each converted to pyruvate via a series of enzymatic reactions in the liver to ultimately be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis and transported…

toxic to malaria parasite. That is the reason why people with sickle cell disease are less likely to develop malaria. This advantage explains why sickle cell disease did not disappear form areas in the world where malaria is common. Cellular location Cytosol of red blood cells Tissue expression Primary blood tissue and bones but all body tissue can be affected. Most commonly affected tissues are: brain, kidneys, liver, lungs and heart. Mechanistic consequence Haemoglobin S has a lower oxygen…

masses of the chimeric proteins should be really easy (Cannons, A. 2006). Consequently to better understand this experiment, it is crucial that certain terms are elaborated and define. The cytoskeleton is an elaborate network of rod running though the cytosol. It acts as a cell’s bones, muscles, and ligaments by supporting cellular structures and providing the machinery to generate various cell movements (Hopkins, 2010). There are three types of rods in the cytoskeleton, and each filament has…

Cancer, Lysosomes, and Treatment Cancer is one of the most leading causes of death across the world. Several therapies exist to fight cancer. They include surgery, radiation therapy, stem cell transplant, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy. One common therapy many chose is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is cancer treatment using one or more anti-cancer medications that are given as a standardized regimen. There are several types of chemotherapy medications. Alkylating agents attack…

Helicobacter pylori is correlated with the malignant transformation of the gastric epithelial cells. It has been correlated with a variety of condtitions that serve as a precursor for gastric carcinogenesis. This review focuses on the different factors that enable Helicobacter pylori to colonize and damage the stomach epithelium, which are directly linked to Helicobacter pylori-induce gastric carcinogenesis. These factors include cytotoxin associated gene A (cagA), Vacuolating toxin A (vacA),…

show which product will be more useful in protecting the environment. After many steps and mixtures, it concluded that the hypothesis made in the beginning was rejected. INTRODCTION Glycolysis is an anaerobic metabolic pathway that is found in the cytosol of cells, which form ATP by breaking down the glucose. By breaking down the glucose enzymes, it releases energy and pyruvic acid. Fermentation includes glycolysis plus the reactions that stimulate NAD+ by transferring electrons from NADH to…
