Endoplasmic Reticulum Organic Molecules
1,136 words... m is used to breakdown glycogen to glucose. The endoplasmic reticulum is versatile and grows and shrinks according to the cell's activities. Chloroplasts which are found in plant cells are used in the process of photosynthesis. They fall into the category of plastids but they are differentiated in that they contain chlorophyll. These organelles produce chemical reactions from the energy that the sun gives them. The Golgi complex's structure is made up of many flattened membranes sacs that ar...

Plasma Membrane Alzheimer Disease
950 wordsLipid Rafts A lipid raft is a micro domain within the membranes of cells that is cholesterol-rich. It has been believed since 1972 that, in cell membranes, membrane proteins and phospholipids are constantly and widely distributed as following a fluid mosaic model. Then in 1988, a scientist named Kai Simmons, who worked at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory located in Germany, suggested the notion that there exist micro domains, which are enriched with a lot of different kinds of lipids, s...

Test Tubes Cell Membranes
1,411 wordsChemical Stress On The Tonoplast Of Beta Chemical Stress On The Tonoplast Of Beta Vulgaris Taproot Cells. Abstract This is an experiment on how chemical stress effects cell membranes, specifically the tono plast of Beta vulgaris taproot cells. This experiment involved the treatment of the aforesaid cells with different concentrations of an acetone solution, and testing the resulting solution for absorbance of light by beta cyanine, using a spectrophotometer. It had been hypothesized that the hig...

Cell Membranes Red Blood
421 wordsIn the early stages of the twentieth century, little was known about cell membranes. Until the early 1950 s, the biological cell membrane was rarely mentioned in scientific literature. It was recognised that something was probably there, but hardly anything about it was known. Considering the lack of technical equipment available a century ago, scientists such as Charles Overton and Edwin Gorter were not only exploring new territory in looking at the properties of cell membranes, but laying the ...

Endocrine Glands Amino Acids
1,069 wordsHormones are organicHormi? one Introduction Hormones are organic substances that are secreted by plants and animals and that function in the regulation of physiological activities and in maintaining homeostasis. They carry out their functions by evoking responses from specific organs or tissues that are adapted to react to minute quantities of them. The classical view of hormones is that they are transmitted to their targets in the bloodstream after discharge from the glands that secrete them. T...
