The human eye can see objects as small as one tenth of a millimeter‚ which is smaller than a grain of salt. An animal cell is not visible to the naked eye and is about 10 to 30 micrometers. A micrometer is one one-thousandth of a millimeter. They are so small that it takes a microscope with a magnification of at least 400x to be able to see inside the cell. These cells are what make up the basic units of structure and function in all living things. They carry out our life processes and make it possible

Creatine is a supplement that may be used with the intention of improving athletic performance and building muscle. Creatine is usually consumed orally‚ in the form of a powder that is mixed into a shake-type drink. Creatine is naturally produced in the body. It assists in the process of creating ATP (the body’s energy source). This process is known as the phosphagen system‚ and it creates a small amount of energy very rapidly without a need for oxygen. Creatine supplementation is thought to make

Exocytosis Lab Report Rough Draft Abstract: In Paramecium caudatum‚ trichocysts are 10^3 secretory vesicles that are released from the cytoplasm. We first observed how the presence of Alcian blue dye triggers normal secretion of trichocysts‚ and we then tested four different hypotheses in order to determine how the presence of Ca++ ions in the extracellular and intracellular environment affects the secretion of trichocysts. Our first our hypothesis tested whether extracellular calcium is

There are many similarities and differences between the processes of aerobic respiration and photosynthesis. To start‚ aerobic respiration can be defined as a biochemical pathway through which chemical bond energy is released from food and changed into ATP. On the other hand‚ photosynthesis is manufacturing of carbohydrates out of CO2 and the splitting of water in the presence of light. Photosynthesis and aer. respiration can be the same in many ways. For instance‚ both of them contain cycles

Respiration is the process by which energy is released energy from glucose in the presence of Oxygen‚ forming carbon dioxide and water as waste products. Glucose releases energy in a series of reactions that take place inside components of the cell. The stages are briefly explained below as were briefly explained in part A‚ the process then goes through‚ glycolosis‚ link reaction and then the Krebs cycle. The volume of CO2 that is produced in the Krebs cycle is important as this is the dependant

41. In thylakoids‚ protons travel through ATP synthase from the stroma to the thylakoid space. Therefore the catalytic knobs of ATP synthase would be located a. on the side facing the thylakoid space b. on the ATP molecules themselves c. on the pigment molecules of PSI and PSII d. on the stroma side of the membrane e. built into the center of the thylkoid stack (granum) 42. Which of the following statements best represents the relationships between the light reactions and the Calvin cycle?

Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to gain a complete understanding around the rate of cellular respiration within multicellular organisms‚ also to research and understand how to use a CO2. Background: Living systems require free energy and matter to maintain order‚ to reproduce‚ and grow. Energy deficiencies cause disruptions at the population and ecosystem levels as well. 1 mol of H2O produces 1 mol of CO2 through cellular respiration. Autotrophic organisms capture free energy from the environment
