Phospholipid

Module 1 Essay Cells are the smallest, most basic unit of life. Cells are diverse in size and shape and the sheer number of them. Scientists make the distinction that there are two classes of cells: eukaryotic and prokaryotic. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are similar yet very different. But in addition to the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, we have viruses—they are not regarded as life in the scientific community, however, they are important because they infect those which have life (i.e…

are a part of the water-repellent, insulating covers. In the case of deficit of lipids it is impossible to create new cells. There are the following varieties: Triglycerides are a part of cell membranes, they store energy reserve in fat cells. Phospholipids are a part of the nervous tissue cell membranes. They transport fats, fatty acids and cholesterol. Sterol is cholesterol contained in the cell membrane, excludes the influence of temperature on their stability. It is needed to produce…

2. The six major constituents of bile from highest to lowest are bile salt, phospholipids, cholesterol, bilirubin, inorganic salts, and metals. (Farina-2009) Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. One of the functions of bile salts is to break the fats into smaller masses for easier digestion. (Taylor-2013) 3…

bonded, it’s a diglyceride. Three is the max amount, and they are called triglycerides. They store energy for living things. An example is steroids, which are lipids that have had their carbon skeleton bent to form fused rings. Another example is phospholipids which are a major component of the cell membrane. Lipids can also be unsaturated or saturated. Unsaturated fats in foods are usually in the form of a liquid, as they are liquid at room temperature. They contain double covalent bonds, (that…

Organization Bunge Nipawin, is a canola crushing and refining plant in Nipawin, Saskatchewan, which is part of a larger company called Bunge Limited. Bunge Nipawin specifically sells canola meal, crude canola oil, and refined canola oil to various external and internal customers. As the refinery and utilities supervisor, I look after the tank farm inventory, the bleaching process, the deodorizing process, the boilers and auxiliary equipment, the tailings pond, and the skimming pits. The Pitch -…

In an aqueous environment for living organisms, water is used in different ways such as solvents, temperature buffers, metabolite and the living environment. In the solvents, the oxygen atoms of water molecules attracts the cations and by extension the water molecules around it. The more water molecules being attracted the more Hydrogen ions are being formed between them. As a result of this, there is a cluster of water molecules around the ions, therefore the ions are hydrated. Anions also…

higher the chance that the normal tissues will be harmed. Young children are most likely to have damage occur during radiation. Radiation can also weaken a child’s ability to learn. Damages made to nerve cells or to the structure of proteins and phospholipids can have…

P5 List of all cell features and functions: • Nucleus • Cytoplasm • Cell membrane • Mitochondria • Ribosomes • Cell wall (Plant Cell) • Endoplasmic Reticulum (smooth & rough) • Lysosome • Golgi Apparatus/body • Nucleolus • Vesicles A nucleus is like the brain of the cell, it is a large oval which controls the activities of the cell and the nucleus also contains genetic material (DNA). The nucleus also contains hereditary information. Most chemical processes and reactions, which are…

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…

Carbohydrates have the following basic composition. They are molecular compounds made from three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides are simple sugars with multiple OH groups. Based on number of carbons 3, 4, 5, 6, a monosaccharide is a triose, tetrose, pentose or hexose respectively. Disaccharides are condensation products of two monosaccharide units; examples are maltose and sucrose. A disaccharide is 2 monosaccharides covalently linked molecule. Polysaccharides are polymers…
