Each main component has its own‚ individual function which helps a cell to function and maintains the cell membrane. The components that I will be describing include the cell membrane‚ nucleus‚ cytoplasm‚ mitochondria‚ lysosomes‚ Golgi bodies‚ centrioles‚ endoplasmic reticulum (both smooth and rough) and ribosomes. The cell membrane - The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane and is located on the surface of all typical animal cells‚ it is covered by a double layer of phospholipid

concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. The purpose of this lab is to compare the three different types of solutions affect on the relative size of the vacuole to the cell‚ the outer membrane of onion red cells (tunics) are used to figure out the different types. In the red onion you can see effects promptly when the onion cells are placed in different type of solutions. The effect of the solutions is shown through the purple part within the membrane since that’s where the vacuoles are present

NEURONAL DIVERSITY - Categories of neurons of CNS: 1. Afferent/ sensory neurons – convey information from periphery to CNS 2. Motor- sends commands to muscles and glands 3. Interneurons – most abundant signalling elements in the CNS ( process information locally or convey information from one region of CNS to another • Types: a. Local interneurons/ internuncial neurons/ local circuit neurons – short axon Golgi type II (greatly outnumber type I in CNS)

The plasma membrane of a skeletal muscle fiber is called the Sarcolemma In a skeletal muscle fiber‚ Ca2+ is stored within the sarcoplasmic reticulum The bundle of dense regular connective tissue that attaches a skeletal muscle to bone is called a(n) tendon. In excitation-contraction coupling‚ the transverse tubules function to conduct an action potential into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. During muscle contraction‚ the I band

The purpose of this lab is to look at different effects of paraquat toxicity which causes changes in the lipid membrane bilayer of chlorosplasts (makes it leaky) and the formation of malondialdhyde in the bean Phaseolus vulgaris‚ by isolating the choloroplast‚ determining the chlorophyll concentration‚ determinating the protein amount by making a standard curve

For example‚ labor‚ platelate plugs‚ and action potentials are all positive feedbacks loops. 2. Describe the four physiological themes discussed in the book that apply to all living organisms.
