IV. Discussion The Concentration Gradients is known as known as diffusion. They are spontaneous process because there is no energy input at the beginning (Reece et al., 2011). Each substance could diffuse to its own concentration gradient without affected by the concentration of other substances (Scott 2015).In the first experiment of the Concentration Gradients. The color of the clear water was expected to change into the color of the potassium permanganate dye, which was purple. Observation…

Many humans in the world have suffered from cancer. This disease has caused many people to lose their life or even their loved one’s life. Researchers have done many studies to try and tackle this deadly infection, but everything they have tried has either caused cancer to progress or come back. For instance, for decades researchers have been using chemotherapy to target cancer cells. Though chemotherapy is suppose to kill toxic cancer cells in a certain area, it also harm the healthy cancer…

Alcohol Dependency 1 out of 10 deaths (20-60 of age) are due to excessive alcohol use. Approximately two billion individuals consume alcoholic beverages globally in less than a year. Alcohol consumption in excess has both immediate and long-term consequences in regards to health and social life. In current times, over seventy-six million individuals are affected by alcohol use disorders. Among these disorders is alcohol addiction. Heavy drinkers are also at risk for chronic illnesses such as…

Everyone will learn fundamental lessons throughout their lives. Many people will learn when they are developing into adults, but many adults will tell you that they never stop learning no matter how old they grow. I once knew a man who lived to be 102 who had an amazing attitude towards life. He never seemed bothered by his old age and always smiled brightly across the room in my direction whenever I was with him. He told me something that I will never forget a few days before his death. He told…

Over the course of the last 100 years, the lifestyles of humans have seen drastic changes. This has ultimately led to less exercise as everything has become much easier to obtain, especially things like food. All of this has led to the majority of our population becoming obese while also causing our muscles to become less productive. It is common knowledge that the more you use your muscles, the stronger they become. It also works the other way around. The less you use your muscles, the weaker…

Throughout decades, humanity has desired “better.” The world has looked through the lens of, “how can we make this even greater?” The hunger for new innovation is a driving force for the present world, always furthering new discoveries and brightening the lives of generations to come. What fuels this hunger, however? People from different countries all around the world have been given a spirit of creation and desire to use their creativity to further society. As the humanity advances, so do the…

315). Microfilaments in the plasma membrane (such as actin) extend into the cytosol to help aid the process of phagocytosis (Reaven). The phagosome will then fuse with a lysosome to form the phagolysosome. The lysosomes are the cell’s digestive organelles (Karp 303). The lysosome contains at least 50 different hydrolytic enzymes (hydrolytic enzymes are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum, and are transported to the lysosome) and lysosmal enzymes (Karp 303). These two enzymes together can…

Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is an acute and potentially life-threatening infection caused by toxins released from the bacteria Clostridium tetani. It is commonly found in soil, fecal matter and dust in areas that tend to by hot and humid. The bacteria enter the body through open wounds or cuts, causing bacterial infection in those that have not been vaccinated or have not received the proper vaccination. Tdap should be administered in three doses during normal childhood vaccinations and it…

Recombinant DNA is genetically engineered DNA that is formed by splicing fragments of DNA. Organismal cloning is the artificial creation of a new organism that is genetically identical to its counterpart. DNA cloning is a recombinant DNA technique where cDNAs and fragments of genomic DNA are inserted into a cloning vector and maintained during growth of the host cells. Vector is an agent that transfers genetic material into a cell or organism. Restriction enzymes are bacterial enzymes that find…

dysplasia (atypical hyperplasia), and metaplasia. Atrophy is when a cell adapts due to decreased trophic influences, the cell function is decreased and nutrition is decreased, this process decreases the cell size because it looses its subcellular organelles and substances often causing organs to decrease in size and function. Hypertrophy is the opposite of atrophy and causes the cells to enlarge and therefore causes organs and tissues to enlarge because of the cell size enlargement.An example is…
