Feature Structure Function Atria (singular atrium) thin walled no valves rough pectinate muscles sinus node (impulse generating tissue) interatrial septum Right atrium: Receives deoxygenated blood returning to the heart from the vena cava and pumps it to the right ventricle. Left atrium: Receives oxygenated blood returning to the heart from the pulmonary veins and pumps it to the left ventricle. Ventricles thicker walls (than atria)‚ the left is thicker than the right as blood must be pumped all

How the structure of proteins are related to their functions Rachel Morris The basic building blocks of proteins are amino acids‚ the biuret reaction tests for protein. A solution of sodium hydroxide is added to a sample then a few drops of copper sulphate solution‚ if positive – the solution will turn mauve. There are 20 different amino acids and they can be joined in any order. Therefore there can be many different functions. A protein consists of one or more polypeptide chains (a polypeptide

Nucleus- The nucleus is the control center of the cell. This is where DNA is contained. This is like the town hall or the mayor’s office because it is the control center of a town. The nucleus uses DNA like a city uses blueprints to direct the production of protein. Nucleolus- The nucleolus is where ribosome is made and is rich in RNA content. It is located inside the nucleus. A mayor is like this because the mayor makes everything in the town happen. He also works from the town hall‚ or works

Schuenzel February 13‚ 2014 Bacterial and Eukaryotic Cell Structures All organisms are composed of cells which are characteristically microscope in size. Cell size is limited by the efficiency of diffusion across the plasma membrane. A typical eukaryotic cell is 10 to 100 micrometers in diameter opposed to prokaryotic cells are 1 to 10 micrometers in diameter. Bacterial and Eukaryotic cells display different cell organization in their size and structure‚ but despite this all they display basic structural

Biology – Assignment One Cells. Question One Explain the roles of the main components and features of a cell to the cell function. A typical animal cell is rounded in shape‚ surrounded by a cell membrane. This holds in the cytoplasm‚ which contains other structures such as the nucleus‚ ribosomes‚ and mitochondria. Each cell has tiny structures inside called organelles; each type of organelle performs a particular function. For example there are mitochondria (power stations)‚ ribosomes (protein

artery carries blood from the aorta to the kidney. The nephron has a cup-shaped nephric capsule that surrounds a cluster of capillaries called the glomerulus. A good deal of fluid from the blood filters into the capsule. Large proteins and whole blood cells are left behind due to the fact that their too big to pass through the filters along with the plasma or blood fluid. There are four main parts of the nephron tubule: the proximal convoluted tubule‚ the U-shaped loop of Henle‚ the distal convoluted

Lab 4: Cell Structures and the Gram Stain Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to familiarize the student with the use of a compound microscope and the Gram Stain test. Students will review a brief video and slides to introduce the compound microscope. Students will also view a video about the Gram Stain procedure and then answer questions related to it. Hypothesis If I look at the slides I will see where the cell wall is and what lies inside it and in the Gram Stain if I watch the video I will
