The main objective of the experiment is to study and localize the fluorescent tags on specific chimeric proteins in a particular cell. The localization of these tags will generate a detailed understanding of the cytoskeleton in the cell, and the main function of using the Enhanced Yellow Fluorescent Protein. With the help of EYFP, the location of the proteins, and the molecular masses of the chimeric proteins should be really easy (Cannons, A. 2006). Consequently to better understand this…

Mankind’s bond with animals has been ever present and strong throughout history. Early animal domestication dates back more than 10,000 years ago. Whether it be for agricultural purpose or for companionship, animals have served a role by our side for centuries. The question is, when does this relationship turn from one that was mutually beneficial to While humans, like many species, eat meat, that is very different than the forms of exploitation many animals experience today. Showing a stark…

A terrestrial ecosystem is an ecosystem found only on land. There were six primary terrestrial ecosystems which are tundra, taiga, temperate broadleaf forest, tropical rain forest, grassland and desert. Terrestrial environments are segmented into a subterranean portion from which most water and ions are obtained. An atmospheric portion from which gases are obtained and the physical energy of light is transformed into the organic energy of carbon-carbon bonds through the process of…

steps, lost my first tooth, and the kitchen where I baked my first batch of chocolate chip cookies for the school bake sale. I murmured goodbye to our private beach where I learned how to swim like a fish, and cried for hours after being stung by a jellyfish, a pain I would have graciously welcomed at that time if that meant having my life and house…

In molecular biology, individuals use different techniques to obtain data for their research. These methods include His and GFP tagging which play an important role in experimental studies. His tagging is widely used for purifying and detecting large amounts of targeted proteins (Kaplow et al., 2009). GFP tagging can aid in the analysis of protein geography, movement and chemistry in a living cell (Lippincott-Schwartz and Patterson, 2003). A His-tag is a sequence of approximately six histidine…

Finding Nemo is a children’s movie, which tells of a clown fish named Marlin, who is a widower, and only has one son left after a predator attack. Nemo, the son of Marlin, went to school on the first day and ventured out into the open sea, despite the constant concerns from his dad not to. Nemo was then abducted by a diver and taken to a dentist office onshore in Sydney to live in a fish tank with the “tank gang.” Marlin then set out on an adventure to find and save his son, Nemo. On the way,…

Everybody hears about the most popular beaches, Key West, Clearwater, Palm Beach, but sometimes popular isn’t always best. Beaches are about experiencing nature, without all the hustle and bustle of the modern world. And sometimes to do this, you need to escape a little further. There is a place that is perfect for this. Horseshoe Beach. It is located three hours north of Dade City, in a place called Dixie County, quietly tucked away from the rest of the world. It sits on the coast of the Gulf…

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system for most living things. There are only a few animals that do not have a brain like starfish or jellyfish. The brain is located in the head. It receives messages from other organs. The brain is the most complex organ. In a human, the cerebral cortex has more than a billion neurons. Each of these neurons are connected by synapses. These synapses are connected to several thousand other neurons. Neurons communicate with one…

In the novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, we see many colorful characters roaming about the streets of old England. One character in the book however, was named Miss.Havisham and, although she is a fictional character, the way she is portrayed, in real life she would be diagnosed with a few mental disorders, such as, Major Depression, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), and OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Miss.Havisham is suffering from depression. Miss.Havisham is filled…

The film I’m reviewing is “Finding Nemo”. This movie is about the adventures of two fishes named Marlin and Dory looking for Marlin’s son Nemo. In the beginning Marlin was ready to have a family with his wife named Coral because their eggs were a few days away from hatching. Marlin got a new home, which is an anemone by the deep ocean. One thing led to another, and a barracuda shows up to attack Marlin and his family. Marlin tries to defend his wife and eggs, but to no avail he gets knocked out…
