into a human and some people do not agree with this. Process and Biological Concepts There are 2 main types of xenotransplantation that can occur: Solid organ and Cell and Tissue transplantation. Solid organ as the name suggests is when an animal organ e.g. kidney or heart is transplanted into the human body. Cell and Tissue is when cells and tissues are…

Information is Useful: This lab is an example of how cell transport works. The gummy bear is a cell in this case which is placed in a hypotonic solution that is the lime juice. Hyp0tonic solution is a greater concentration of the solute molecules inside the cell than outside. The gummy bear has an outer layer, cell membrane, and a jelly substance in the middle, cytoplasm, which relates to a cell. Seeing how the gummy bear reacts would be similar to how a cell reacts to another substance.…

Gregor Mendel was the first person to make connections between parents and children by using math symbols. He made the set of laws which are now known as the three laws of inheritance. This set of laws consists of the Law of Dominance, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent Assortment. To begin, the first law of inheritance is the Law of Dominance. This law states that genes come in pairs and are inherited in different units called alleles. In a situation with one dominant allele and…

The human body is arguably the most researched organism on Earth. The intricate relationship between molecular, anatomical and physiological characteristics of it astounds me, yet what interests me most is not how powerful the human body is as a whole, but how ultimately our physiology can fail us. Studying biology at an undergraduate level will allow me to grasp a deeper understanding as to why this happens, as well as develop my existing knowledge of the mechanisms involved in keeping humans…

In 1932 a new novel hit the shelves, a topic one that no one had thought to type out and bring to life before. Aldous Huxley published his book, A Brave New World. He writes about our society many years in the future and our advanced technology. Natural reproduction was replaced and humans were created in laboratories. The government constructing a damming caste system. Children are created with specific genetic factors in mind, designing them to do certain jobs, and only those jobs. The result…

scientists see the cells better and distinguish the different organelles inside the cell. 2. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and most internal structures that eukaryotic cells. 3. This method builds on the work of early scientists by changing the soup broth with bacteria in it to a preserved petri dish. 4. Both cells and atoms are basic building blocks. 5. This poison would not kill bacteria because bacteria do not have a nucleus. 3.2 1. The cytoskeleton provides support for the cell…

Imagine this; a world where no one has lifelong infections or medical conditions. This might be made possible soon; however, some are afraid that parents will take it too far. With enough money, they could transform their babies to be intelligent and good looking. In my opinion, genetic engineering should be allowed, but restrictions should be in place to stop parents from making super babies. Genetic engineering is the purposeful changing of an organism's DNA. It can be used in ways that…

LO 2.7 I understand cell size and shape affect the overall rate of nutrient intake and rate of waste elimination by determining LO 2.8 I understand data, regarding the types of molecules that an animal, plant, or bacterium will take up as necessary building blocks and excrete…

eukaryotic cells. More than 20 different versions of Endosymbiotic theories have been presented in literature to explain the origin of eukaryotes and their mitochondria (Martin, Garg and Zimorski, 2015, p.1678). A Prokaryotic cell contains structural components such as: Cell wall is made of peptidoglycan. Gram-positive bacteria contain a thick cell wall with many layers of peptidoglycan and gram-negative bacteria have only few layers of peptidoglycan. The cell membrane of a bacterial…

Pure-bred Sprague Dawley rats (brown laboratory rats) are to be used in this experiment. These rats are preferred due to known calmness and ease of handling. To reduce variability, rats of the same weight, age, and gender will be chosen. Thirty-seven ADHD rats and thirty-seven non-ADHD rats will be chosen. This provides a sample size large enough to produce statistically significant values. Because there is no physical biological marker for rats with ADHD, behavioral symptoms must be…
