12. Provide a description of a cell surface specialization. A cell surface specialization can be defined as an extension of the cell surface which performs a specific function for a larger organ or tissue. Examples of cell surface specializations include microvilli‚ cilia‚ stereocilia‚ and goblet cells. Microvilli can be described as tiny finger-like folds made of microfilaments in the cell membrane‚ and functions to increase surface area for absorption. Cilia are longer‚ more hair-like projections

Volume V= L x H x W = (23 cm) (4 cm) (12cm) = (276) (4) = 1 104 cm Area A= L x W = (23cm) (12cm) = 276cm Surface Area A= 2(Lh) + 2(Lw) + 2(Wh) / 2( lh + lw + wh) = 2(23*4) + 2(23*12) + 2(12*4) = 2(92) + 2(276) + 2(48)

find out if surface area affects reaction rate‚ and this experiment proved that surface area in fact does affect reaction rate. My experiment used a berocca tablet that was either cut into sections or left whole‚ the smaller fractions had a larger surface area as there was more area to cover‚ the pieces were then put into water to see what sized tablet reacted to the water the fastest. My hypothesis was supported as it was proven that the smaller pieces which had a larger surface area were much quicker

THE EFFECT OF CHEMICALS AND TEMPERATURE ON MEMBRANE DESTRUCTION AND PERMEABILITY IN BEETROOT (Beta vulgaris) Introduction The cell membrane is made up primarily of phospholipids and proteins which contribute to its selectively permeable nature. The function and permeability of the cell membrane depends on its intact structure. When destroyed‚ the permeability of the cell membrane is disrupted causing cellular contents to leak out. The cell membrane can be destroyed by physical damage‚ chemicals

Binding to surface receptors- - a viral receptor is cell surface molecule‚ likely a transmembrane protein - a virus may need multiple receptors to enter the cell -the ability of viruses to infect certain cells but not others are typically due to the fact that only the "permissive cells" display the right viral receptors. This is called virus "tropism" -many viruses are species-specific‚ partially due to receptor differences. B. membrane structure and hydrophobicity

variation in temperature on the permeability of cell membranes using fresh beetroot Aims In this investigation‚ you will subject fresh‚ washed beetroot discs to different temperatures to investigate the effect of temperature on the permeability of the plasma membrane. Overview The beetroot discs will be placed in distilled water at different temperatures. You will compare the intensity of the beetroot pigment that has leaked out from the cells subjectively and possibly objectively using a colorimeter

BEETROOT PIGMENTS - and membranes – These pigments are betalain pigments (not‚ as often thought‚ anthocyanins)‚ which they replace in some organisms. They are named after the Beet family of plants (Beta) but are also found in fungi (Fly Agaric - the red‚ spotted one!). In petals they presumably attract pollinating insects and may be present in seeds/fruits to encourage birds to eat them and so disperse the seeds. Man has selected for colour in beetroot‚ both because
