Lysosome

“Oh my Perry! Have you ever realized how the cell wall is just like the brick walls and the fences in the zoo? The cell wall protects and supports the cell, as the brick walls and the fences, they keep the animals from running away and people that aren't suppose to be there out.” “You know what Phineas? I think your right!! Tell me more.” 2. “Perry, what do you think the cell membrane reminds you of?” Phineas asked Perry. “The cell membrane has the same job as the ticket booth…

important role into the cell as far development goes. Many of the organelles operate off of other to maintain its specific duties with the human body. One in particular are considered to be peroxisomes. Peroxisomes have digestive enzymes in relations to lysosomes, but they have special bodies that allow it to work in low level regions in which wouldn’t be supported elsewhere inside of the specific cell. Peroxisomes break down chains of long fatty acids, amino acids, etc. that are vital for the…

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells, or cells with a membrane-bound nucleus. Unlike prokaryotic cells, the DNA in a plant cell is housed within the nucleus. In addition to having a nucleus, plant cells also contain other membrane-bound organelles, or tiny cellular structures, that carry out specific functions necessary for normal cellular operation. Organelles have a wide range of responsibilities that include everything from producing hormones and enzymes to providing energy for a plant cell.…

Tay-Sachs is an inherited disease that destroys neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The most common forms of Tay-Sachs appear in infancy, the infant 's affected by the disease generally show no signs, until 3 to 6 months of age. Infants affected by the disease lose motor skills, they also have a tendency to be startled easily especially by loud noises. Infants will begin to have seizures and develop hearing and vision loss, intellectual disability, and paralysis as the conditions progresses…

Sandra Peart. Biology Assignment 2 Task1 AC1.1 Major Components & Function of Blood. The four major Blood Components are •Plasma •red cells •white cells •platelet •Plasma is the liquid part of the blood that is made up of 55% fluid, this is the blood’s liquid medium, by itself is straw-yellow in colour. The total volume of blood plasma is about 2.7-3.0 litres in human. The plasma carries carbon dioxide , hormones and waste. •Red blood cells •The red blood cells are called…

responsible for causing the degradation or production of other complex glycolipids. This therefore triggers cell death and can eventually affect calcium metabolism and neurological functions. The accumulation of glucocerebroside within macrophage lysosomes causes tissue damage, localised compression of blood vessels as well as macrophage activation [5].…

The Golgi complex then sends the proteins to places within the cell using vesicles, which are essentially bubbles that transport important materials. These places include the cell membrane, to be attached or sent out of the cell, or to the lysosomes. Lysosomes are vesicles within the cell that contribute to the digestion and recycling of cell resources. They also allow old or damaged cells to be broken down. Microbodies are another form of vesicle that breaks down dangerous compounds. Another…

the ligands on the microbial surface. The macrophage captures pathogens by phagocytic receptors on the macrophage surface, then the macrophage engulfed and internalized the microorganisms by receptor mediated endocytosis. Phagosome will fuse with lysosomes, and form phagolysosomes (acidic vesicles contain degradative enzymes/toxic) to kill the pathogens. 2. What are cytokines? What is the role…

The enzyme acts on the substrate glucocerebroside which is a component of the cell membrane. In the normal lysosome, protein saposin C presents glucocerebroside to GBA which activates the enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for hydrolytic breakdown of glucosylceramide to glucose and ceramide. Deficiency of the enzyme leads to accumulation of glucosylceramide and other glycolipids in the lysosomes of macrophages, primarily in the spleen, liver, bone marrow, brain, osteoclasts and less often the…

EGG LAB ANALYSIS Bouncy egg trick: You turn an egg into a bouncy ball by leaving the egg in vinegar. on the first day we place the egg into vinegar which helps break down the eggshell. Vinegar is a acid which dissolves the eggshell, which is made of calcium carbonate, turning the shell to carbon dioxide. Vocab/ Relation Osmosis: diffusion of water Diffusion: molecules to spread out in order to occupy an available space, without using energy. *diffuse from high to low. -The egg was placed into…
