Organelle

The brain, being the most complex organ of the body, controls every action and thought. It is divided into various functional units formed from brain cells that work together to respond to particular stimuli. The brain cells connect with other cells of the body to create communication routes for brain signals. As such, scientists are working to understand the complex organization of the brain with the help of tools that can tag and trace the circuits of the brain as well as finding out how…

In this level the atoms and molecules are what makes organelles which determine cell function (cell membranes, mitochondria, and ribosomes). Cellular Level. Is where the body’s functional unit and here is where a cell will grow and then through mitosis, that cell will multiply and replicate again and again until…

deoxygenated. The erythrocytes are formed through the process of erythropoiesis that occurs in the red bone marrow within our skeleton. The process being with the formed element precursor cell being hemocytoblasts then matures into a cell that has lost its organelles and nucleus. Finally, it begins to build a lot of hemoglobin and decreases to microscopic size. (OpenStax College 2013). This…

Introduction The cultivation and enumeration of a bacteriophage is a vital component of microbiology. Bacteriophages are used for a number of scientific applications, including the decontamination of food products, human therapy, and much more, thus it is critical to determine the concentration of the bacteriophage in a solution. Doing so allows scientists to determine bacteriophage potency, side effects, and minimal effective doses for clinical applications (Andersen et al., 2011). This…

candidate for observing gene expression and subcellular localization of proteins. GFP’s may also be used for identification of chromosome replication and organization, protein-protein interactions, cell division, intracellular transport pathways and organelle inheritance as the only requirement for detecting GFP is UV or blue light and it does not interfere with cell growth. (M Chalfie, Y Tu, G Euskirchen, WW Ward,…

In cell theory, it is known that all cells arise from pre-existing living cells, through cell division. In cell division, this involves the supplying of identical genetic material from the parent cell, DNA and protein, to two daughter cells. It results in the daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. We need cell division as it is used in reproduction of new species, growth and repair of damaged cells and tissues, and to reduce the cell size. Larger cells are…

The human body performs many complex processes on a daily basis it is a machine working overtime to make sure our bodies can function effortlessly and maintain homeostasis. Any disruption in the body and the body is ready to respond performing many complicated procedures to bring the human body back into balance. For example, if a person steps on a thumb tack many people would think that all that occurs is that the person feels pain and the individual jerks their leg in response due to that pain…

Name: Antonio RicoDeLaFuente Purpose : This activity was to identify concepts on cells and to learn more about the functions and reproduction of cells within living organisms. Lab Summary: While doing this activity we experimented with bacterial growth and I was able to witness growth in its replication. Through the process of mitosis, I was able to view cellular reproduction. Lab Answers A. Bacterial growth observation. The population doubling time is estimated to be 20 minute. B.…

isolated biocatalysts for production of fine chemicals. We strived to engineer a drop-in, cofactor regeneration technology, circumventing limited use of isolated biocatalyst for consumer chemicals. Presented here is a biologically engineered artificial organelle that allows for proficient and environmental affable reduction of nicotinamide coenzymes; using light and sourcing electrons from water, generating oxygen as the sole by-product. This platform relies on the elegant nexus between two…

Since the beginning of time, genomes have been in existence since the -, “so-called big bang theory”. Genomes are the key to life because they are an organism’s complete set of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is the source in which processes transcription takes place to form a ribonucleic acid (RNA) and is then translated into an amino acid, which is the essential building block of protein to life. For example, hemoglobin, the cells in our bone marrow, churn out a hundred trillion per second of…
