case, it should be type 2 (HSV-2) since it is genital infection. The virion is spherical and it involves 35 proteins in the structure of virion. HSV-2 is the member of the Herpesviridae family. For the structure, it includes the envelope with lipid bilayer membrane which contains viral glycoprotein spikes. It also derived from nuclear membrane of infected cell. The tegument is the structure which inside of…

Lab 4: Osmotic regulation of cell volume The eukaryotic organism requires homeostasis to maintain daily activities and life. Zooming into smaller units to make up an organism, cells also require homeostasis in order for the organisms to function. Understanding the different balance cells need to maintain will aid us in understanding how cells in organisms successfully maintain osmo-regulations. Eukaryotic cells have selective permeable membrane giving them the unique function of regulating…

HIV subsists as a virion outside its host. Therefore, its’ surface is covered in proteins, specifically gp120, which interacts with CD4, a protein on the surface of particular white blood cells, which eventually lead to entry to the host. HIV has a lipid-containing outer envelope derived from host cell membranes upon infection of host. The structures within a cell are measured in two different units: micrometer (μm) and nanometer (nm). A micrometer is equal to 10-6 meters and one nanometer is…

INTRODUCTION Fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most of the naturally occurring fatty acids contain unbranched chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. We usually derived fatty acids from triglycerides or phospholipids. Fatty acids are very important sources of fuel because, when they metabolized, they yield large amount of ATP .Fatty acids are regulated by certain transcription factors which control the action of…

to the cations in the lipid bilayer, which weakens the cell’s envelope. At this rate, the EDTA limits the DNA from degradation. After adding this solutions, the group resuspend each tube by vortexing each tube. Vortexer is a machine that mixes small samples of liquids. Adjusting the pipette to 200 µl, we add the second Miniprep solution or MP 2. This solution contains 0.2 M NaOH, and 1 percent of SDS. This solution lyses the cells. SDS is a detergent that dissolves the lipids that are contained…

Brian Diaz & Emilio Hernandez Biology Honors Dr. Odom 12-4-17 Curing Cancer: Lysosome & Active Transport For this research project we used lysosomes as the cell structure and active transport as the cell capability. We used these factors in order to find a cure for breast cancer. The reason we chose breast cancer is because if anything were to go wrong we would have the capability of having a mastectomy before the cancer can spread. However, with lung cancer we don't have the ability to…

body systems the influenza virus affects. According to RapidReferenceInfluenza.com, the influenza virus is spherical and pleomorphic, ranging from 80 to 120 nanometers in diameter. According to Study.com, it’s covered in an envelope made of a lipid bilayer with spikes of glycoproteins called haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). The proteins help the virus bind with the host cell. Inside the envelope is the capsid, which is a protein shell containing genetic information. Seven or eight…

The virion is 180nm in diameter, with its double stranded DNA, icosahedral nuclear capsid, tegument and a lipid bilayer envelope[2]. CMV invade cells by fusing its glycoprotein from the envelop with the cell membrane, and releasing its tegument and DNA into the cell[2]. When CMV infect cells, a formation of distinctive inclusion called “owl’s eyes” can be observed…

Endocytosis and Exocytosis: Small molecules and water can pass through the cell through the lipid bilayer or through transport proteins. Large molecules like polysaccharides and proteins, cross the membrane with the help of vesicles. Endocytosis is when the cell takes in macromolecules by forming vesicles from the plasma membrane. There are three types…

of the body. A huge part of the human body contains fats, and numerous neuro-degenerative sicknesses are lipid, otherwise called fat, related. Subsequently, the equalization of unsaturated, particularly crucial unsaturated fats and immersed lipids is basic to animal and human health (Haber,…
