Cholesterol is referred as an amphipathic molecule, that it contains its hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. Cholesterol is usually synthesized in animals and smaller cholesterol can be generated in plants. They are important in the composition of cell membranes and also steroid hormones. There is no such thing as good and bad cholesterol. Cholesterol also helps with the production of bile acids, which help the body digest fat.Cholesterol could easily be described as the smoking gun of the last…

The aim of the experiment was to determine if cytoplasmic dynein plays a role in retrograde melanosomal transport. The cell morphology and distribution of melanosomes appeared as black dots under a high-resolution time-lapse microscope. Panels A and C of Figure 7 are the negative sense DNA controls at 12 hours and 24 hours. Sense DNA melanocytes exhibited normal distribution…

for the cell types in gastrointestinal muscularis externa of any species but recently interest in understanding how Cl- homeostasis contributes to gastrointestinal smooth muscle function has revived due to the recognition that two key mechanisms for Cl- movement, the Ca2+ activated Cl- channel, Ano1 and the Na+,K+, two…

The plasma membrane also known as the cell membrane is found in every cell. The cell membrane is around 7-10nm, making it difficult to view even with a transmission scanning electron microscope (it only shows a double black line), this means that no one knows exactly what the membrane looks like. All membranes have the same basic structure made up from phospholipids (fats). The membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer; consisting of a polar phosphate head and two fatty acid tails. The head…

tightly regulated to maintain cell homeostasis, and alterations to the control of these systems can cause drastic changes in resistance. The genes encoding efflux proteins can be both chromosomal and harbored on plasmids, making it possible for horizontal transmission…

used as a representation of an actual cell, the shell being the cell wall, and the yolk being the nucleus, which like an actual cell also expands when placed in a substance like water, and shrinks when placed in a thick substance like corn syrup. I hypothesize that water will make the egg hypotonic, which means that the cell is swollen due to an excess of water in its environment and corn syrup will make the egg hypertonic, which is the shriveling of a cell due to a lack of water and or salt in…

and the Carolina Centre for Genome Sciences at the University of North Carolina, and the Department of Biological Chemistry at John Innes Centre, have uncovered a correlation between bacterial protein, a molecule that performs most functions within cells (the general units of life). Erica J. Washington and her team used methods such as the use of microscopes, separation of proteins based on size, and production of the 3D experimental protein by utilizing closely related proteins as models.…

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…

Arrival to the Egg Before embarking in the complexity of CatSper channels, the particular characteristics of sperm and its movement towards the egg in female that allows for fertilization should be addressed. Spermatozoa are differentiated motile cells that have two main structures: the head, which houses packed DNA, and the flagellum, the motility portion that transports the sperm genetic information to the egg (1). Within the spermatozoa head both a vesicle which covers the head, known as the…

to lyse the cell, however, in Test tube 1, without the presence of the appropriate complement the buffer could not break the membrane structure. Therefore this test tube demonstrates the need for compliment in cell lysis, even in the presence of the buffer’s detergents. In Test tube 8 water causes erythrocytes to swell and burst and is an excellent detergent, since it is hypotonic relative to the erythrocyte. The cells will thus swell. Test tube 8 provides an example of complete cell lysis where…
