atoms‚ which are the smallest units of matter. There are many different kinds of cells. The two kinds you are most likely to be familiar with are animal and plant cells. Some of the differences between them are that plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts. Cells all have different sizes‚ shapes‚ and jobs to do. The cells in a single organism may have different shapes‚ sizes‚ and jobs. Organisms like humans are made up of trillions of cells. There are also one-celled organisms such as euglenas

Unit1: Cell functions/ Cell division Cells Cell theory: -All living things are composed of one or more cells. -The cell is the smallest entity that retains the properties of life. -New cells arise only from cell that already exists. Structure of the cell: The outer boundary (plasma membrane) similar to a city wall It is constructed with molecules called lipids (fat and oils) The cell membrane is composed of: -Proteins and Lipids -FUNCTION: to allow molecules into and out of the

carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and water (H2O) into carbohydrates (CH2O) and oxygen (O2). Sometimes the end product of photosynthesis is glucose (C6H12O6). Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Here membranous thylakoids are stacked in grana surrounded by the stroma. During the light reactions‚ pigments within the thylakoid membranes absorb solar energy‚ water is split‚ and oxygen is released. (Mader‚ 2010) In this study‚ we are interested in examining the effects of photosynthesis

describe the process of energy transformation as an integration of “our nanowire nanoscale heterostructure into a functional system that mimics the integration in chloroplasts and provides a conceptual blueprint for better solar-to-fuel conversion efficiencies in the future. When sunlight is absorbed by pigment molecules in a chloroplast‚ an energized electron is generated that moves from molecule to molecule through a transport chain until ultimately it drives the conversion of carbon dioxide into

with the addition of light: H2O + ADP + inorganic phosphate + NADP+ ¨ 1/2O2 + ATP + NADPH + H. Light is a necessary input for photosynthesis to take place. Light ’s electromagnetic radiation carried in photons are absorbed by the photosynthetic pigments in plants. These photons can cause electron excitation to a higher energy level‚ which can be added to NADP+ form NADPH or the excited electrons can also be passed down an electron transport chain producing ATP. These processes occur in

TRACE EVIDENCE AS AN IMPORTANT TOOL UNDER FORENSIC SCIENCE Introduction Edmond Locard‚ founder of the Institute of Criminalistics at the University of Lyon‚ France‚ developed what has become known as Locard’s Exchange Principle. This states that “every contact leaves a trace”‚ implying that a criminal will leave trace and take away trace evidence when at a crime scene. Trace evidence often refers to minute samples of a substance‚ particularly fibres‚ hairs‚ glass fragments and paint chips. Crime

Experiment 1: Quantitative assessment of Some Cellular Constituents Summary: Euglena gracilis are unicellular organisms in the Protist Kingdom. They are known to have both plant and animal characteristics. Although‚ Euglena cells contain a variety of cellular constituents‚ their cellular constituents should be presented in equal ratio. The objective of this experiment is to determine Euglena’s cellular components in cells and then to establish their cellular constituents by comparing the experimental
