Ribosome

i. Occupies greatest volume in mature plant cells Nuclear Envelope j. Separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm Endoplasmic Reticulum k. Forms channels for intracellular movement of materials Lysosomes l. Sacs of powerful digestive enzymes Ribosomes m.…

organelles are a necessary part of the whole. The nucleus is the brains of the cell. The nucleus is also where the DNA is located. DNA are the proteins that hold the genetic code necessary for the cell to replicate. The DNA replication takes place in the ribosomes, where the proteins are translated in order to be replicated. The plasma membrane covers the entire cell and oversees the flow of chemicals that come both in and out of the cell. The plasma membrane creates a clear, definitive boundary…

The World of Mast Cells Mast cells is near the skin and organs and protects the human body from bacteria and viruses but can become over flammable or reproduce too fast, causing diseases that hurts your body more than helping it. But, this cell is one of the main protectors in the human body due to all the things it can do. This cell isn’t as well-known as others but is an important cell in the immune system. So what makes this cell so amazing? What is unique about this cell? How does this…

Final Exam Bacteria’s gene is only coding (makes a protein) meaning one gene equals one protein. Bacteria’s life history is a short lifespan, reproduces quickly in large number of individuals. Griffith finds that bacterial cells can be transformed. (Raven) There are two forms of bacteria, one that causes pneumonia and a nonvirulent that does not. The nonvirulent lacks enzymes to manufacture the coat of polysaccharide. Griffith performed a series of experiments with these types of bacteria on…

Harinder Mootoor ECH-4931.001 Nanomedicine Dr. Koria Term Paper 1 Streptomycin for Tuberculosis Diseases are very detrimental to the health and lives of humans. Many diseases are caused by the spread of harmful bacteria. One specific disease that has a large effect on the population is tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis is caused by the spread of a bacterium and if the bacterium is not treated properly, TB can be fatal. With the use of antibiotics, such as streptomycin, the fundamental process of…

certain diseases such as Alzheimer or cancer. Fragments of the six billion letters in our DNA are what makes up a gene found on our chromosome. In humans, these 20,000 plus genes transcribes to form a mature mRNA which then gets translated in the ribosome to produce a particular protein like collagen for our skin or hemoglobin in our red blood cells. Although knowing our personal genetic code has its fair share of disadvantages and risks, many argue that the advantages of learning about the…

Genetic disorders may affect millions of people every few seconds around the world, and it’s our job to understand how they work or occur in order to try and prevent them or cause them from getting worse. With how far research has come over the years, we now know how genetic disorders occur. They occur from something called mutations, which I am sure mostly everyone has heard about. Most people just don’t understand exactly how mutations work, occur, or how they cause millions of different…

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…

Diagnosis The most appropriate test to detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the nucleic acid amplification test, also know as NAAT. NAAT consist of a urine sample, endocervical and vaginal swab for women, and a urethral swab in men (CDC, 2015). Test detects the genetic material of the bacteria, in this case N. gonorrhoeae. Theoretically the test is able to detect a single copy of the nucleic acid of the bacteria (AACC, 2014). The test amplifies the number of copies of the genetic material in order…
