Plasma

Each neuron in the body has a negative, and positive side that is naturally attracted to each other but is separated by a plasma membrane (external boundary) until the energy created by the two is ready to be used. The plasma membrane has protein channels (gates) that allow the diffusion of ions. The three types of gates are leakage (passive) channels which are always open that allow k+ to leak out of the cell; chemical ligated…

The below pictures shows an exaggerated version of the interaction between the Earth and the Sun. Earth’s magnetic field acts like a shield to the harmful solar winds by funneling them around it. When the sun emits large bursts of plasma some slip into the Earth’s upper atmosphere at the poles creating a light display in the sky called the aurora borealis. Mars does not have the same magnetic shield as Earth does. The following picture illustrates how influential the difference…

Leaky gut ALD is preceded by leaky gut, which is both directly and indirectly caused by alcohol consumption. Alcohol is fermented in the gut and produces acetaldehyde, which disrupts the tight junctions that hold the intestinal cells together (Llorente and Schnabl 2015). In addition to this, alcohol causes leaky gut by inducing inflammation (Chart 1). Alcohol and bacteria “cooperate” to cause inflammation of the bowel and the liver that causes the gut to become more permeable. Wang et al.,…

Canine parvovirus (CPV) enteritis is a common cause of acute, severe gastroenteritis in young dogs. Dogs at greatest risk are less than 6 months of age and either unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated for canine parvovirus. Dogs vaccinated with over-the-counter vaccines also appear to have a higher incidence of parvovirus likely due to ineffective vaccine or improper use. Early clinical signs of parvovirus enteritis include anorexia, lethargy, diarrhea and vomiting. Parvovirus enteritis has…

by adding a substance which came from the plasma in blood. This was called hemophilic globulin. In 1944, pavlosky, a doctor from Buenos Aires, Argentina did a lab test which showed that blood from one hemophilic could correct the clotting problem in a second hemophilic. In 1952 there was a recognition of hemophilia A and hemophilia B as two distinct disease. As time goes by in the 1950s and early 1960s, hemophiliacs were treated whole blood or fresh plasma. Most people with severe hemophilia…

Abiotic stress in plants: an overview: An environmental perturbation such as drought, salinity, chilling, freezing and high temperatures can influence plant growth and, inturn, can prove detrimental to enduring agriculture (Slama et al, 2014). Such kind of environmental disturbance encountered by the plant in field or in vitro is referred to as abiotic stress.Under such conditions, plants advancingly experience altered or abnormal cellular and whole plant processes just to achieve the right…

Argon is the element i picked for the project. Argon is a chemical element with symbol Ar and atomic number 18. It is in group 18 of the periodic table and is a noble gas. Argon is the most abundant gas in the earth's atmosphere. It makes up 1.28% of the atmosphere. It was one of the first noble gases to be discovered. It is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic material in all three of its states. Henry cavendish proposed in 1785 that argon might exist. Lord rayleigh and sir william ramsay…

Which of the following is a function of a membrane protein that binds with hormones and neurotransmitters? i. Receptors 8. This type of membrane protein helps to anchor proteins in the plasma membrane of neighboring cells to one another. j. Linkers 9. The characteristic of plasma membranes allowing only some substances to move through is known as… k. Selective permeability 10. Which of the following does NOT influence the rate of diffusion? l.…

Discussion Throughout this study, PHFs commonness in food items, product labelling using Nutrition Facts and the ingredient list and studies on health effects were all analyzed to see how prevalent PHFs are in a typical diet and how they affect health. Natural versus artificiel trans fats As previously mentioned, trans fats can come from two sources, naturally and artificially via the process of hydrogenation. Natural trans fat is formed in some grassland animals and small amounts can be found…

mitochondria, exergonic redox reactions produce the H+ gradient that drives the production of ATP Chloroplasts use light energy to create the proton-motive force used to make ATP by chemiosmosis Prokaryotes use H+ gradients generated across their plasma membranes to transport molecules, make ATP, and rotate flagella An accounting of ATP production by cellular respiration About 36 or 38 ATPs may be produced per glucose molecule oxidized # is only an estimate for 3 reasons: 3 ATPs/NADH and 2…
