The structural compartmentation of mammalian cells and the differing functions of these compartments. All mammals are eukaryotes and therefore have eukaryotic cells. These cells contain several organelles suited to a specific function they carry out within the cell. These eukaryotic cells contain a Nucleus‚ Mitochondria‚ Ribosomes‚ Rough and Smooth endoplasmic reticulum‚ Golgi apparatus and various other organelles. Most of the organelles are separated from each other by a membrane‚ these membranes

The Mammalian Urogenital Lab Questions 1. The urine needs to be stored in egg-laying animals so that the fetus is not trapped in pools of urine inside of the egg. This keeps the urine separate from the fetus and its nutrients. 2. The fetuses of mammals that bear their young alive do not need a urine sac and does not form urine because all of the fetuses waste is taken out through the mother either through the placenta or the umbilical cord. 3. The testes are separated from the abdominal

and centrifuged for 20 seconds. A polyacrylamide gel was assembled and the samples were loaded into it. The gel ran for approximately 45 minutes at 160 V. A western blot analysis was done in order to examine the Erk1/2 phosphorylation of the NIH3T3 cells. Three pieces of Whatman paper were wet in transfer buffer and placed on the anode plate. A wet PVDF membrane was placed on top of the Whatman paper. The gel was removed from holder and the stacking gel was removed. Forceps were used to place the gel

a) Using a human cell of your choice‚ describe how organelles work together to make and secrete a protein (LO1. AC 1.1) An epithelial cell in the thyroid gland‚ called a thyrocyte forms spherical follicles that produce a protein called thyroglobulin. This is a globular protein that has a functional role in metabolism. The protein is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine

Electrochemical Cells Lab Report AP Chemistry Block 1 Analysis: The purpose of Part 1 of this laboratory is to construct a table listing the reduction potentials of a series of metal ions in order of ease of reduction. The series of half-cells is constructed by placing a piece of metal into a 1.0 M solution of its ions for each metal in the series. The metals are Cu‚ Fe‚ Pb‚ Mg‚ Ag‚ and Zn. The half-cells are connected by a salt bridge constructed of a strip of filter paper soaked in a solution

TITLE AND AUTHOR Lab 7 Analysis of purified Concanavalin A via:Hemagglutination INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to test the biological activity of ConA by performing a hemagglutination assay. If ConA is active then agglutination will occur due to ConA’s free receptors being able to bind to the glucose residues on the sheep’s red blood cells. If ConA is not active then no agglutination will occur. To test the hemagglutination reaction‚ two types of ConA solutions

COMPARTMENTATION OF MAMMALIAN CELLS AND THE DIFFERING FUNCTIONS OF THESE COMPARTMENTS All mammalian cells are eukaryotic‚ and whilst the eukaryotic type of cell is not exclusive to mammals‚ mammalian cells differ from other eukaryotic cells because of the organelles that are or are not present. For instance some plant cells have chloroplasts which are not present in mammalian cells‚ but both plant cells and mammalian cells are eukaryotic in nature. The term eukaryotic refers to the cell having specific
