Endoplasmic Reticulum Nuclear Membrane
329 wordsI made my cell project by myself. It took me 1 day to build it. I made the Mitochondria out of a dark blue glass squiggle, I made the Vacuole out of a light blue glass squiggle, I made the Golgi Complex out of a dark red string of yarn, and the Lysosomes were made out of a light blue pebble. I made the Endoplasmic Reticulum out of bubble tape, the Ribosomes were made from purple marker marks on the bubble tape, the Cytoplasm was made out of Styrofoam, and the Nucleus, Nucleolus, and Nuclear Memb...

Plasma Membrane Passive Transport
834 wordsBeing one of the most important components of a cell, the plasma membrane, or cell membrane plays a huge role in regulating how things get in and out of cells. The plasma membranes unique structure enables it to let only certain molecules pass through the cell. This ability is called selective permeability. Most of the plasma membrane in most cells is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with proteins either embedded into it or sticking out from either side of the membrane. The heads of the phospho...

This classification is not definitive in including all proteins, since there may well be other examples that span the membrane with different numbers of anchor chains. The structure of proteins varies greatly. The first factor affecting structure is the proteins function, but equally important is the proteins location, a...

Diabetes Mellitus Type Ii
1,088 wordsScientific Rationale for Selection of the Target A. Characterization of Target Diabetes Mellitus is a heterogeneous group of metabolic diseases characterized by the presence of excessive amounts of glucose and glucagon in the blood of diabetic patients. The most frequently cited reason for Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is either a lack of insulin secretion (DM Type I) and / or , more commonly, the resistance to insulin in the peripheral tissues, particularly muscle and adipose tissue (DM type II).

Spindle Fibers Cell Membrane
592 wordsThe life Process of a cell In my report you will learn about the life process of a cell based on the two main functions, metabolism and mitosis. You will learn about the four stages of metabolism: ingestion, digestion, respiration, and excretion, and how the cell completes them. You also will acquire information about the four stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telephone, and how the cell completes them. Mitosis is the process in which cells reproduce. These two processes are ...

H 2 O Carbon Dioxide
854 wordsColours Chloroplasts contain several different pigments the majority of which are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. Both of these types of chlorophyll absorb similar wavelengths of light, but chlorophyll a absorbs a slightly higher wavelength than chlorophyll b. Neither chlorophyll absorbs much light in the green region of the spectrum thus making it appear green. This can be plotted onto a graph (fig 1. 1). This graph is called the Absorption Spectrum. The Absorption Spectrum is very similar in ...

Sickle Cell Anemia Red Blood Cells
1,326 wordsThe Protein Site Protein Synthesis The process of Protein Synthesis involves many parts of the cell. Unlike other similar productions, this process is very complex and precise and therefore must be done in proper sequence to work effectively. The slightest error during this process could cause the action to experience difficulty or even fail. For example, in the production of starch, glucose molecules are combined to be stored and eventually utilized as usable chemical energy. The cell can break...

Spindle Fibers Daughter Cells
451 wordsThe Process of Mitosis Mitosis The Process of Mitosis is the term used to describe cell division for replication. The product at the end of mitosis is two daughter cells both genetically identical to the original (parent) cell. This process is used for growth and repair within an organism and also for asexual reproduction. There are five main stages to mitosis, called Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. Although the process has been divided up into these stages the process o...

H 2 O Carbon Dioxide
546 wordsPhotosynthesis Photosynthesis means putting together with light. This takes place in chloroplasts, which have chlorophyll in them. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight. From sunlight, green plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. Green plants use sugar to make starch, fats and proteins. These are tiny pores called stomata. Stomata are plant spores, which enable gas exchanges to take, place, and water to vapor to be lost. This has the benefit of moving water up the plane in ...
