Facilitated diffusion

language areas of the brain when listening to species-specific vocalizations. Functional MRI has found differences in the connectivity patterns of macaques and humans; however, the capability of fMRI is limited by its sensitivity to head movement. Diffusion-weighted imaging found that white matter integrity peaks and declines relatively earlier in humans than in chimpanzees. While these techniques have helped discover what changes have occurred in the brain between primates and humans, changes…

The turks and the mongols had similar views on religion and economic influence, but their artistic impact sets them apart. Despite this, they both had a significant impact on their respective societies beginning in the late 13th century. Both of these empires allowed for great amounts of religious tolerance, especially for their time period. Although the mongols practiced shamanism, an animistic religion that primarily focused on powerful spirits, they were extremely tolerant of all religions.…

Antibiotic sensitivity is the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics. Susceptibility can vary within bacteria of the same species due to different strains; with some strains being more resistant than others. Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of a microorganism to survive and multiply in the presence of an antimicrobial agent that would normally inhibit or kill this species of microorganism. Antibiotic susceptibility tests are done in order to determine, which specific antimicrobials…

increase their surface area for hydrolases to act. Once broken down, the soluble, useful material such as sugars, amino acids and nucleotides are used by the cell as nutrients; they enter the cytosol through the lysosomal membrane by either facilitated diffusion or active transport. Indigestible material remains within the lysosome to form a residual body; this is removed from the cytoplasm by exocytosis and is excreted from the body as metabolic waste. On the other hand an accumulation of…

Support the Endosymbiotic Theory Gianna Melendez Chamberlain College of Nursing Support the Endosymbiotic Theory The endosymbiotic theory proposes that eukaryotes formed from the union of small aerobic prokaryotes with larger anaerobic prokaryotes, which form organelles. The smaller prokaryotes were not destroyed by the larger cells, but instead became internal parasites that remained surrounded by a vesicular membrane of the host. The theory proposed that mitochondria are the…

For my project, I chose to make an illustration. In the picture I have a breast cancer ribbon, a pot of boiling water, a prokaryote, a chromosome, a pedigree, and a factory to represent human impact, a flower to represent photosynthesis, a food chain, an energy pyramid, an embryo, humans evolving, a biomolecules chart, and the phases of mitosis. I drew a breast cancer ribbon because we talked about different types of cancer. There are many factors that go into the diagnosis of cancer. A lot of…

Rose’s “Mathematics and the Art of Navigation” argue that a basic education was essential for both mariners and merchants. Turnbull’s “Cartography in Early Modern Europe” and Zahedieh’s article argue that communication networks were important for the diffusion of information. Benton’s “Legal Spaces of Empire” and Zahedieh’s article both contend that the enforcement of laws and regulations were vital to the expansion of Great Britian. Both Leeson’s The Invisible Hook and Zahedieh argue that…

Insulin is the body’s main way to lower the blood glucose levels when they get to high. When the blood glucose levels get to low the hormone glycogen is produced. They both come from the pancreas but insulin also helps glucose get transported into the cells (Quesada et al., 2008). The body uses glucose as a primary source of energy through a variety of metabolic reactions. Glucose is a sugar that gets broken down through glycolysis into ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) inside of the cell (Stanfield,…

Chapter 11 paper summary In this paper Regulation of Sarcolemmal Transport of Substrates in the Healthy and Diseased Heart written by Jan F. C. Glatz et al. they are discussing the role of long chain fatty acids or LCFA and glucose balances when it comes to healthy and diseased hearts. LCFAs and glucose are predominate for cardiac metabolic energy production meaning that these two substrates are the main energy providers when it comes to a healthy functioning heart. When a heart is healthy…

The development of the printing press was a huge step forward for art. Printing made art accessible to the masses at lower costs, and stimulated the acceptability of more secular content. Importantly, printing enabled the more rapid and reliable diffusion of knowledge about art, as well as its preservation. While the methods of classicism were largely lost for a thousand year,…
