Some people are born with specific genetic makeup that allows them to build and tone muscles in an almost effortless way. Unfortunately, some of us are born the opposite. That is, we are born with a “skinny” frame. That is not our fault, and that should definitely not be a hindrance to our getting our ideal or dream bodies—one with fine muscles at the right places. If you are determined to get your ideal body, it can happen. Now, you might already be asking how to gain weight in 10 days for men.…

2.1. Biocellulose definition Cellulose is the main component of plant cell wall. Some bacteria produce cellulose (called biocellulose or bacterial cellulose). Plant cellulose and bacterial cellulose have the same chemical structure (Fig.2.1), but different chemical and physical properties (Lin et al., 2016). The molecular formula of bacterial cellulose (C6H10O5)n is the same as that of plant cellulose, but their chemical and physical features are different. Biocellulose is preferred over the…

compare an egg to a cell. We also tested the effect of hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions have on cells.The purpose of this experiment was to observe what happened to a cell when placed in different environments. In order to do this, we used an egg to represent a cell and put it in different solutions such as, vinegar, corn syrup, and distilled water. Corn syrup was used to show how a cell would react in a hypertonic solution, and distilled water was used to show how a cell would react…

the current study, the effect of nilotinib, a marketed drug used by human beings that has a well-defined safety profile, was investigated on APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. Nilotinib treatments for mice were found to protect against APAP-induced liver injury as indicated by decreasing the elevated levels of serum ALT, AST, LDH and GGT activities. The protective effect exerted by nilotinib against APAP-induced liver injury was further confirmed histopathologically by preventing APAP-induced…

The world of microbiology is a vast one. In theory, microbiology is the study of single celled micro organisms and viruses, that work independently of each other. These microbial cells are the backbone and fundamental unit of life. Most of the biomass present on earth today is microbial, with almost 5.3x10^30 cells present, mostly in terrestrial and oceanic subsurfaces. Within these subsurfaces, many microbial communities exist, with especially specific types of bacteria having important niches…

After the cell reaches the confluence, the various concentrations of the samples were added and incubated for 24 hours. After incubation, the sample was removed from the well and washed with phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) or MEM without serum. 100µl/well (5mg/ml)…

I expected the sheep brain to be much larger than it was in size, I did not expect the brain to be as small as it was. The sheep brain dissection lab was done in order to help students understand how important the structures and functions are in the human brain. A few external details I was able to identify were the frontal, occipital, temporal and parietal lobes as well as the difference between gyri and sulci. Some internal structures I struggled to point out was the hippocampus and the…

Enhancing Society at a Cost In recent years, scientists developed genetic engineering in animals. Gene modification enhances animals by increasing fertility, and allows the possibility of cloning. However, cloning and designing animals leads to the application of genetic modification in humans. In Dinesh D’Souza’s essay, “Staying Human,” he reveals the positive and negative effects of genetic engineering, but he affirms the unethical application of genetic engineering. Because of this…

where the Honor Biology class allotted during my ninth grade, and by maintaining a grade I was allowed to have AP Biology during my Junior Year. Biology lab enhanced my practical learning where I observed mitosis in developing embryonic cell of white fish, and plant cell both in Zea Mays Leaf (monocot) and Syringa leaf (eudicot). I keenly observed a dissected Pig's brain in the AP Biology lab, its anatomical structure influenced my passion.…

consists of 2 complementary strands in a helical structure where each strand serves as an informational template for the offspring during duplication (Rafael, 2010). An organism is made up of a vast collection of cells where each cell originates from a parent cell (Rafael, 2010). The cells require a way in which they can transfer and copy their genetic information efficiently (Bagley, 2013). The organism…
