gram-negative bacteria. Tetracycline inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 30s ribosome in bacterial cells, thus preventing the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the RNA ribosome complex and simultaneously inhibiting other steps of protein biosynthesis. Lastly, streptomycin is effective on gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It targets protein synthesis, but through attachment close to a small subunit on the ribosome, as a result, it secretes abnormal, faulty proteins that ultimately…
and inner membrane, is an area called the Intermembrane space. Inside the inner membrane consists a gel like fluid called the matrix, here enzymes that are involved in aerobic respiration can be found. Mitochondrion also contains its own DNA and ribosomes, separate from the eukaryote cell it resides in, these are also located in the matrix.…
antibacterial activity is primarily effective against gram-positive bacteria, Streptococci, Coryne-bacteria, Neisseria, Moraxella, Legionella pneumophila, and Bacteroides fragilis by preventing the turnover of elongation factor G (EF-G) from the ribosome. It is inactive on most gram-negative bacteria. Fucidin is generally prescribed to treat common skin infections as impetigo contagiosa, angular cheilitis, infected dermatitis and erythrasma and secondary skin infections such as infected wounds…
different entities and are separated from each other. Large numbers of ribosomes are bound to the surface of Rough endoplasmic reticulum. Under the prescription for sequence of the steps by RNA released by the nucleus of the cell, Rough endoplasmic reticulum makes large segments of protein molecules. These protein segments are moved down through endoplasmic reticulum for assembling, and when completed, these segments are released into ribosome lacked smooth endoplasmic reticulum. These segments…
Hepatitis C Hepatitis C, or Hepacivirus, is a virus that when contracted destroys the liver. The virus can never be fully cured, but people who have contracted it can take medication to control the symptoms. The virus is contracted through blood products or from mother to infant during pregnancy or nursing. The virus was found by multiple scientists at the Centers for Disease Control, in 1989. The scientists found that Hepatitis C was the result of nearly every case of hepatitis that wasn't…
four layers. The layers are Neuraminidase, Nucleoprotein, Capsid, and Lipid Envelope. The Lipid Envelope is the outside layer that protects the virus. Then the next layer is the Capsid. The Nucleoprotein is the last layer. The Nucleoprotein has Ribosomes that produce proteins (Concentra.com). The flu can cause viruses and diseases from coughing and sneezing. Most people can recover from Influenza in less than two weeks. Some people get other complications from Influenza. Others will die from…
Arteries Arteries carry blood at high pressure (80 - 120 mm Hg) They have a narrower lumen (to maintain high pressure) surround by a thick wall made of two layers The middle layer (tunica media) contains muscle and elastin to help maintain pulse flow (it can contract and stretch) The outer layer (tunica adventitia) contains collagen prevents the artery rupturing due to the high pressure blood flow Veins Veins carry blood under low pressure (<10 mm Hg) They have a very wide lumen (keeps…
What is education and what does it mean to be educated? Education is teaching and being taught. My teachers would always tell me “You learn something new everyday”, and it’s true. Education is not just the first 25 years of life as you go through elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. Education is eternal. Though I may not have any personal proof, since I am still in highschool, I know that as life goes on and people age, they don’t go through life with only the knowledge…
1. Describe the goal of the experiment or state the hypothesis or problem to be solved. The goal of the experiment is to understand the cell. The students will understand the characteristics of the Cell. 2. Describe background information from your lab manual or other references? Amylopast: An organelle in some plant cells that stores the waste of the cell. Cell membrane: thin layer of protein outside of cell that protects the whole structure. Cell Wall: can be found only in plant cells,…
This could also lead to evolution, survival of the fittest, overpopulation and the extinction of others. Limiting factors can be many things like space, food, light and many other things. For Sunflowers and example that would lead to carrying capacity would be if all the organisms that consumed or killed the plant would be removed from its environment by an invasive species or environmental changes, then the Sunflowers would grow faster and closer to each other. This would cause space, water,…
