January 22‚ 2013 Lab #: 1 Title: Cell Washing Aim: To demonstrate quality assurance techniques in performing cell washing. Principle: Cell washing is a common procedure performed in the laboratory. This is a series of careful steps taken to wash red blood cells normally three times intermittently with centrifugation and decanting (Harmening 2012). The procedure serves to remove unbound immunoglobulins‚ Wharton’s jelly (from cord blood)‚ hemolysed cells and also fibrin. The principle of the

Animal Abuse 1. In some circuses‚ wild and exotic animals are trained through the use of intimidation and physical abuse. Former circus employees have reported seeing animals beaten‚ whipped‚ poked with sharp objects and even burned to force them to learn their routines! 2. Elephants who perform in circuses are often kept in chains for as long as 23 hours a day from the time they are babies. 3. More than 25 million vertebrate animals are used in testing in the United States each year. When invertebrate

changes is the invention of cell phones. Have you ever imagined the world without the use of cell phones? Cells phones allow people to communicate with each other anywhere in the world no matter what time it may be. The idea of cell phones is not new to the human race; it primarily started in the year of 1947 when it was used mainly for military operations. It was a man by the name of Doctor Martin Cooper who invented the first cell phone on April 3‚ 1973. The invention of cell phones has completely changed

Blood Cells Leukocytes (WBC’s) Leukocytes also known as white blood cells (WBCs) are cells which play a defensive roll in the body against injury and infection. They migrate towards tissues where they are needed and become functional performing various activities. WBCs can be divided into 2 groups: Polymorphonuclear granulocytes and mononuclear agranulocytes. Both types are spherical while suspended in blood plasma but when they invade tissues after leaving the blood vessels they become amoeboid

Organisms are eukaryotic except Bacteria and Achaea. Organelles are small membranous bodies‚ each with a specific structure and function. Prokaryotes do have cytoplasm‚ which is the material bounded by a plasma membrane and cell wall. This contains ribosomes‚ small granules that coordinate the synthesis of proteins

Henrietta’s Cells. It is unfortunate that the Lacks family did not know that research was being done on Henrietta’s cells‚ which made the family feel like they were betrayed by doctors at the Johns Hopkins Hospital‚ but it was a common practice of doctors in the 1950s and consent was not required for research as it is today. Also‚ it is unfair that Samuel Reader and Monroe Vincent‚ the founders of Microbiological associates‚ a cell distribution company‚ made millions off of selling HeLa cells. However

The Cell Cycle Brittany Jameson Vista College Abstract The cell cycle is made up of five steps. These steps are interphase‚ mitosis‚ cytoplasmic division‚ cell differentiation‚ and cell death. During mitosis there is a series of four stages. The Cell Cycle To start the cell cycle the cells first go through a step called interphase. During this step the cell grows and synthesizes new molecules and organelles. In the S phase the DNA of the cell is replicated in preparation for cell division

Cell Reproduction Eric Gonzalez Strayer University Week 4 Lab Professor Lynn Roginsky 22 Jul 11 Cell Reproduction The goal of this week’s lab is to explore the effects cancerous cells can have on tissue in the lungs‚ stomach‚ and ovaries. Using a microscope and slideshow and based on readings in the lab the following are answers to questions asked in the experiment. Based on the data gathered from observation differences in normal cells and cancerous ones have revealed themselves. Most

Chapter 2 IB Biology 2.1 Cell Theory 2.1.1 Outline the cell theory (2). • All organisms are composed of one or more cells • Cells are the smallest units of life • All cells come from preexisting cells • TOK: cell theory replaces the former ideas of spontaneous generation or abiogenesis in which inanimate matter assembles itself into living forms • Exception: muscle cells- more than 1 nucleus‚ very long; (fungal cells) hyphae roots- not a single unit; protoctista- not specialized to single

Schools ban students from using cell phones at school and at all school functions? By Olivia Acuña ENG 111G27 9/11/2011 Cell phones have created a new era of communication between students around the world.
