Cycles in Biology Cycles in biology play a fundamental role in the world that we live in. Cycles occur all around and inside of us in many different forms‚ from the Krebs to the Calvin cycle. There are large scale cycles happening and they are essential in regulating the nutrients and substances that are around us which without‚ life on earth could no function. One of the largest cycles that occurs all around us is in everyday life is the carbon cycle. The current atmospheric

Lab Report 1: Subculturing Adherent Cells Fibronectin‚ integrin alpha 3‚ and actin are all involved in cellular adhesion at both the cellular and molecular levels. Integrins are the primary trans-membrane receptors that mediate dynamic interactions between the extracellular matrix and the actin cytoskeleton whenever a cell is motile. Integrins bind to the extracellular matrix and link to the actin cytoskeleton via a shirt cytoplasmic tail; they also help determine cellular binding specificity because

myofibrils are composed of two types of even tinier structure‚ the myofilaments. The thick myofilaments called myosin filaments consist mainly of the protein myosin. The actin filaments consist of the protein actin. Myosin and actin filaments are arranged lengthwise in the muscle fibers so that they overlap. During muscle contaction‚ the actin filaments are pulled inward between the myosin filaments. As that occurs; a nerve cell that stimulates a muscle releases a compound known as acetylcholine. The acetylcholine

Experiment 2: Skeletal Muscle ABSTRACT Frog skeletal muscle is used as an animal model to study muscle contraction. The objectives of this experiment is to demonstrate the physiological responses of skeletal muscle to electrical stimuli using frog gastrocnemius‚ to understand twitch‚ summation‚ tetanus and fatigue‚ to investigate the relationship between initial tension and force of contraction‚ to explore the differences between human and frog skeletal muscle. The threshold voltage is 0.4V. The

Describe what is happening in each phase. a) latent- is a short period between the time of stimulation and the beginning of contraction b). Contraction – at this stage the muscle reaches its peak in contraction. Relaxation -Muscle is shortened‚ returns to zero and back initial length.

INTRODUCTION Muscle action is often described as departures from the standard position of the body‚ the anatomical position. Muscle fiber is an interaction of organelles and molecules within myosin binds to actin and exerts a pulling action. The result of this movement with myofibrils in which the filaments of actin and myosin slide past one another. This action shortens or contracts muscle fiber so that it pulls on its attachment. Muscle are stimulated by a chemical reaction called acetylcholine‚ it synthesizes

Components of a synovial joint are: Fibrous articular capsule (or joint capsule)‚ which surrounds the joint Articular cartilages‚ which resemble hyaline cartilages and cover the articulating bone surfaces Synovial fluid‚ which is located within the joint cavity and provides lubrication‚ distributes nutrients‚ and absorbs shocks 8.2 (a) Identify the types of synovial joints based

Isolated DNA Products Amplified Via Polymerase Chain Reaction and Cloned Biotechnology: DNA WPUNJ December‚ 2012 Abstract Isolated DNA from mouse‚ plants‚ and plasmid DNA were used for Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for DNA amplification. The purpose of this experiment was to study the success rate or optimization of PCR of DNA‚ using both manual and kit methods. This set of experiments gives an insight to the relative difficulties associated with the optimization of a variety
