primary organelles in eukaryotic cells that involve in the transformation of energy‚ thus in production and consumption respectively. The chloroplast is an organelle present only in plant cells and some prokaryotes. At the same time they are absent in animal cells. It’s through the chloroplast that entry of energy to a cell takes place where sunlight is used to trap and convert carbon to sugar‚ which is basically chemical energy that is utilizable by plant cells. Meanwhile‚ the mitochondrion is

The structure and function of carbohydrates A carbohydrate is an organic molecule containing only Carbon‚ Hydrogen and Oxygen with the general formula Cn(H20)n. They are made up of individual molecules called monomers which are joined together by condensation reactions to make a longer chain called a polymer. Carbohydrates are categorised in to three main groups; monosaccharides‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are single sugars and are sweet tasting soluble substances such

depends on the type of lipids Membrane rich in unsaturated fatty acids are more fluid that those rich in saturated fatty acids Membranes must be fluid to work properly; they are usually about as fluid as salad oil. Cholesterol acts as a temp buffer At warm temp(such as 37*C)‚ cholesterol restrains movement of phospholipids At cool temp‚ it maintains fluidity by preventing tight packing (don’t want cholesterol in bloodstream). MEMBRANE PROTEINS determine the membrane’s function Many diff

control as exchange Main function of stomata : Allow enough C02 to enter the leaf to optimize photosynthesis‚ while conserving as much water as possible Structure of stomata * Each stomata consists of a stoma (minute pore) which are surrounded by 2 guard cells. * Stomata closes and opens according to the turgidity of the guard cells * Stomata also allows for cooling of the leaf by loss of water through transpiration to lower leaf temperature * Guard cells open and close to control

Brain Structures and Functions Viviana N. Reyes ESE370: Learning & the Brain (CXI1409A) Instructor: Charisse Jones March 9‚ 2014 Brain Structures and Functions Many are fascinated by the brain and its functions. Our brain is composed of different units and lobes that work together but each part‚ of course‚ has a special function. We all ask ourselves‚ how is it that we learn? Do our senses have anything to do with getting new information into our brain? Technology

Plant Structure and Function Plant Body The unique organization of tissues in flowering plants is part of the reason why they are the dominant group of the plant kingdom. Monocots and Dicots Meristems Meristems – region of undifferentiated cells that can divide rapidly. Apical meristems – shoots and tip of roots (primary growth) Lateral meristems – thickening of the cambium (secondary growth) Plant Tissues Plant Tissues Xylem – conducts water and mineral ions; fluids can

Describe the cell cycle. Include in your discussion the role cyclins and CDKs play in controlling this cycle. The cell cycle is a process that cells undergo to grow‚ reproduce‚ and divide to make 2 daughter cells. The cell cycle has different stages including G1‚ S‚ G2‚ and the M phase. Also we have the G0 phase. There are checkpoints that control the transitions between the phases of the cell cycle in which the process is regulated by cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). G1 is known as

Bacterial cells are Prokaryotic cells. These cells have several internal structures and surface structures. The cell walls are of two types‚ gram positive and gram negative. Out of all the structures‚ the two selected structures are the cell- wall and endospores. The cell- wall of bacterial cells is found in three distinct shapes such as spherical‚ spiral and rod shaped. The cell wall of the bacterial cells is composed of the proteins and polysaccharides. This is collectively called peptidoglycan
