Side By Side Endoplasmic Reticulum
2,193 words... e detoxification processes by which enzymes act on chemicals and drugs to change their structure and reduce their toxicity. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle stores calcium ions that function in muscle contraction. The Golgi apparatus is composed of flattened membranous sacs, containing cisternae, that are stacked on each other like dinner plates. The Golgi apparatus modifies, packages, and distributes proteins and lipids manufactured by the rough and smooth endoplasmic ret...

Johannes Van Der Waals

They exist between non-polar molecules. It is important to remember that within a bond, electrons are constantly MOVING. They zoom around the atoms really quickly. As a result, there may be a tiny instant in that time span where the electrons happen to dominant on one side, rather than the other. However, this t...

Concentration And Reaction Rate
1,782 words... e light intensity the same throughout the entire experiment by working in the shade. Prediction: I predict that as concentration of thiosulphate increases so will reaction rate. Concentration of a reactant affects reaction rate because there are more frequent successful collisions. Assume a person has two chemicals x and y, which react when put together. If all input variables remained constant apart from concentration then fastest reaction rate possible would be to mix (assuming there isnt ...

White Blood Cells Part Of The Body
1,146 wordsHow the Immune System Works The immune system defends the body from attack by "invaders" recognized as foreign. It is an extraordinarily complex system that relies on an elaborate and dynamic communications network that exists among the many different kinds of immune system cells that patrol the body. At the "heart" of the system is the ability to recognize and respond to substances called antigens whether they are infectious agents or part of the body, which are called self antigens. T and B Ce...

Rate Of Reaction Hydrogen Bonding
2,165 wordsRESEARCH I know that Rennin is an enzyme, so before conducting this experiment I am first going to do some research into enzymes and their effects. 1. Enzymes Enzymes are large globular molecules of which the vast majority are protein in nature, though some, known as 'ribozyme's' are made of RNA. Enzymes have catalytic properties; in other words, they alter the rate of reaction without themselves undergoing a permanent change. Most chemical reactions require an initial input of energy, called ac...

2 H 2 O Creatine Phosphate
1,714 wordsWith the aid of diagrams provide a summary of how the following energy systems work. Energy systems; introduction Energy systems are cellular levels processes used to produce Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) figure 1. This is an adenosine molecule linked to three high-energy phosphates that acts as an energy store for the cell. The energy is released when ATPase, an enzyme, reacts with ATP to produce ADP and Pi, e. g. ATP ADP + Pi There are three energy systems that do this; The Creatine Phosphate S...

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...

Carbon Dioxide Hydrogen Ions
1,424 wordsPhotosynthesis is the process by which organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecules. Photosynthesis powers almost all trophic chains and food webs on the Earth. The net process of photosynthesis is described by the following equation: 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + Light Energy = C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 This equation simply means that carbon dioxide from the air and water combine in the presence of sunli...

The Biological Importance Of Water
1,055 wordsGenerally, the main biological importance of water is that life cannot exist without it. In fact on a percentage basis, the majority of any organism is comprised of water. Additionally, it is believed that life first originated in the bodies of water on the earth. The importance of water is seen in such third world countries as Kenya. Where the inhabitants are forced to drink water so dirty and contaminated that they know it might kill them. However they still drink it because its essential for ...

Kinetic Energy Atmospheric Pressure
1,356 wordsTo define matter, one would say that it is something that occupies space and has weight. Matter naturally occurs in three phases: solid, liquid, and gas. Changing from a solid to a liquid, liquid to gas, etc. can be referred to as a change of state. Changes of state (or phase) effect our everyday lives. This chapter on changes of phase should actually be called Energy Transfer. The whole basis on changing a substances state is that it is using energy to get from one state to another. To understa...

Measuring Cylinder Reaction Rate
3,430 wordsHow concentration affects reaction rate. The aim of this investigation is to see how the concentration of a reactant in ratio to the reactor affects the rate of a reaction. When hydrochloric acid and Thiosulphate react together sulphur is liberated this means that as the reaction goes on the solution will become yellow and will change from being transparent to translucent to opaque. The sulphur is formed as a solid but not in the usual precipitation way. Na 2 + S 2 + 2 HCL 2 NaCl+SO 2 + S 2 +H 2...
