away tHere was a white blood cell named disgrace. Disgrace was always teased and bullied by his peers for being, well, being a disgrace . Disgraces’ mother, who was intoxicated with alcohol at the time of giving birth to him (alcohol consumption during pregnancy is rarely a good idea), had given her newly born son a surprisingly faultless name. Disgraces’ only real friend was obviously someone in the same boat , another ill-named white blood cell named, “ugly poo,” this cell never made fun of…
Water is essential in keeping the body in balance. There are two significant compartments of the body that exchange fluids and electrolytes to maintain homeostasis, which are intracellular and extracellular. These two spaces continually interchange electrolytes, particles, and water to sustain the same pressure. (PP chap42 pg935) This paper will describe three machinimas that assists in maintaining homeostasis, four main categories of IV therapy, and nursing consideration in relation to infusing…
maintained when a cell reaches equilibrium inside and outside the cell, equilibrium is when the cell balances equally creating a stable environment. This is an important factor for living things because if there isn’t a stable environment this would have a negative effect on the body. A plasma membrane is important to this process it lets things in and out of the cell, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable which means that it only allows certain things inside and outside the cell.…
How is the membrane structure related to the transport of materials across the membrane? The membrane structure plays an important role in the transportation of materials across the membrane. The Cell membrane is a barrier that separates a cell from its surrounding environment. This is composed of Phospholipids, Proteins, Cholesterol and Carbohydrates. The Membrane Structure has a very important role in the transportation of materials across the membrane. The membrane of the cell is made up of…
Both cilia and flagella found protruding from the cell body on the surface of eukaryotic cells are made of many microtubular bundles. Cilia are hair-like structures that protrude from the cells surface in eukaryotic cells they are covered by a plasma membrane. They are formed from a stable bundle of microtubules; these grow from an area in the cytoplasm called the basal body. Microtubules are made of a protein called tubulin, alpha has a slightly negative charge and beta has a slightly positive…
bacterium consists of a double membrane and is helically shaped (1). One of the membranes is an inner membrane and the other membrane is the outer membrane, also consisting of a protoplasm that is generally cylindrical and long. The most unique feature of the Borrelia burgdorferi is its ability to travel easily through its host’s fluids and tissues by using their highly adaptive flagella (2). The flagella in most spirochetes is found in the periplasm between the diderm membranes. It has a…
that there is two layers of the phospholipids the heads stick out and the tails touch each other staying away from the water. The proteins divide the group of phospholipids from each other. There are three variables that effect moving across the cell membrane. First is the solubility, if it is soluble it can easy move across and if it is not then it will have a harder time moving across. The size effects it as well the bigger the object the harder it will be. The smaller it is will make it…
History All plants need water, but plants may prefer one type of water over another. There are two main types of water, tap water and rainwater, and each type of water has its pros and cons. Different plants need different amounts of water. Along with that, some plants also need water more frequently. This writing is going to explain about how plants prefer one type of water over another. There are many chemicals added to tap water. The uses of these chemicals is to disintegrate any dirt in the…
process of moving soluble molecules across a membrane is referred to as passive transport. For this type of transport chemical energy is not necessary. Two of the main types of passive transport that the human body utilizes are osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of a hydrophobic substance across a semi-permeable membrane without the use of cell energy from a gradient area of higher concentration to an area (either inside or outside of the cell) with a lower concentration…
