a) Using a human cell of your choice‚ describe how organelles work together to make and secrete a protein (LO1. AC 1.1) An epithelial cell in the thyroid gland‚ called a thyrocyte forms spherical follicles that produce a protein called thyroglobulin. This is a globular protein that has a functional role in metabolism. The protein is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine

TITLE AND AUTHOR Lab 7 Analysis of purified Concanavalin A via:Hemagglutination INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to test the biological activity of ConA by performing a hemagglutination assay. If ConA is active then agglutination will occur due to ConA’s free receptors being able to bind to the glucose residues on the sheep’s red blood cells. If ConA is not active then no agglutination will occur. To test the hemagglutination reaction‚ two types of ConA solutions

Much like cells are the fundamental unit of a living being‚ neurons are the fundamental unit of the nervous system. These neurons work together with other excitable cells to produce action potentials when they receive electrical or chemical stimuli. Action potentials can be thought of as an “all-or-nothing” event and occur as a large-scale depolarization when sodium and other positive ions rapidly enter the neuron through membrane channel proteins. Once initiated‚ action potentials travel down the

electrolytes on the potential difference in a voltaic cell Introduction When two electrodes made of different metals are connected together in a voltaic cell‚ the chemical energy present is converted into electrical energy and an electromotive force is generated. This force‚ called the electrode potential‚ is normally measured under standard conditions‚ which is 298K‚ 1 mol dm-3 solution for the electrolyte. However when one measures the electrode potential in a voltaic cell‚ the conditions are

treatment of a pH shock and neutralization‚ by depicting a constant percentage of immobile cells. Prior to the lab series‚ it was expected that the positive control would present a decreasing percentage of immobile cells‚ and the negative control would present an increasing percentage of immobile cells. The experimental groups‚ testing the hypothesis‚ was inferred to show a constant number of immobile cells‚ after the 60-minute light treatment. Colchicine is a substance that reduces inflammation

The Effect of Temperature on Beet Cell Membranes and Concentration of Betacyanin Released Introduction Membranes are an important feature of plant cells and they act as a barrier that separates the interior of the cell from the external environment (Campbell et al.‚ 2008). Each membrane layer is composed of a phospholipid layer‚ which is semi-permeable and possesses the ability to control the movement of diffusion. Within the centre of a cell‚ the vacuole that is responsible for storage and

Cell Surface Glycoprotein Receptor Analysis Using Concanavalin A Purpose: During this experiment we compared the hemagglutination reaction of control Con A solution at 2 mg/ml in Con A buffer with the hemagglutination reaction of your own purified Con A sample that you diluted previously at 2 mg/ml in Con A buffer. The purpose of this lab was to determine the strength of the reaction by performing serial dilutions on both the Con A sample and the control Con A sample‚ and determine through observations

observations are repressentative of cell division taking place in the oinon root tip. Firstly‚ this is because our numbers of the number of cells in each phase of mitosis are similar to the rest of the groups‚ so we can assume our results are most likely correct. We can also assume our calculations are right because we know that Interphase is the most active phase in the process of cell divison‚ which would agree with our calculations since we assume that approxiamtly 93% of cells are going though Interphase

CELL REPRODUCTION DNA is the cell’s genetic material; chromosomes are the carriers of this genetic information. In proka-ryotes‚ the chromosome is a single circle of DNA. In eukaryotes‚ each chromosome is a complex of DNA and histone proteins found in the nucleus. BINARY FISSION Prokaryotic cells reproduce via binary fission. In this process‚ DNA Is replicated‚ and the cell splits in two roughly equal parts‚ each with a copy of the cell’s DNA. EUKARYOTIC CELL CYCLE Eukaryotic cells reproduce
