Plasmodium is a parasite with over 100 species, but only four directly affect humans(“Malaria Parasites”). This parasite affects the circulatory system, or cardiovascular system(Coolidge-Stolz 78). Even though it’s microscoping in size, it can cause a lot of damage. It has many things that structure it, and some are even in common with animals (“Structure of Plasmodium Merozoite”). The parasite gets into the body from mosquitoes and infects the bloodstream(“Plasmodium”). The plasmodium parasite…
Relate the characteristics features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell components to their functions Prokaryotes, dating from fossil fuel evidence, have been revealed that they’ve been around for 3.5 billion years, Whereas, Eukaryotes, have been around for only 1.7 billion years. It has been speculated that the eukaryotic cells were evolved by prokaryotes, by symbiosis. Symbiosis is when two different biological species interact with other, for survival. Therefore, the eukaryotes and the…
materials. Nucleus- a dense organelle present in most eukaryotic cells, typically a single rounded structure bounded by a double membrane, containing the genetic material (Contains: nuclear pore, nucleolus, nucleoplasm, and nuclear envelope) Golgi Apparatus- a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular…
Describe the chemical structure and function of DNA DNA is a fundamental molecule responsible for the growth and maintenance of the human body. Since the discovery of DNA and its double helix structure though the Watson-Crick Model, there has been a significant increase in the understanding of human disease and development of effective treatment. DNA’s specific chemical structure allows it to carry out its function which therefore maintains our survival. Deoxyribonucleic acid is a…
internal membranes and a cytoskeleton are known to be Eukaryotes. Similarly plant and animal cells can be classified into eukaryotic cells. Both organisms contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Furthermore they also contain…
Giant Pandas belong in this domain as they are composed of eukaryotic cells that have a specific task or function in the body. They are larger cells that possess membrane- bound nucleus and membranous organelles (including endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, and mitochondria). Like a prokaryotic cell, they also possess a plasma membrane, cytoplasm and ribosomes. Aksi giant pandas perform cell division through mitosis and reproduce sexually through meiosis. Kingdom : Animalia…
The purpose of this EEI is to create and analyse an experiment that relates to and supports the theory of osmosis in biological cells. Cells are the biological building block for all life; all living organisms have cells also. Cells provide structure, absorb nutrients from food and convert those nutrients into energy so that the cell can carry out specialized functions. There are two main categories with most organisms and their cells; prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The distinctive difference…
Senses are a vital necessity in human life. Senses consist of sight, sounds, smell, tastes, and texture. A main function of the senses is to maintain homeostasis. There are two senses; general and special. “General senses are those with receptors widely distributed throughout the body, including skin, various organs and joints” ( ,Pg. 444). “Special senses have more specialized receptors and are confined to structure in the head, such as eyes and ears”( ,Pg.444). Over time, scientists…
cytoplasm because they do not have a cell nucleus but in the eukaryote cell, the materials in the cell nucleus are separated from the cytoplasm. It is dominated mainly of water, but there are some enzymes like protein salts, organelles (mitochondria, Golgi apparatus and so on) and various organic molecules. The cytoplasm helps in the movements of materials and chemicals around the cell and also eliminates waste in the cell also in the cytoplasm, metabolism and cell division occurs which keeps…
