I. Describe the structure and function of the nucleus and mitochondria. The mitochondria is a semi-autonomous organelle which reproduces by bynary fission and has its own DNA. Its main function is to produce the energy intermediate ATP‚ through ATP synthase. Mitochondria could be considered a cell inside a cell. It has its own membranes (inner and outer membranes)‚ its ribosomes (to produce the proteins encoded in its DNA)‚ a matrix -- where aerobic respiration occurs. The invaginations of the inner

research in the brain is at an all-time pace The cure for some common diseases such as Alzheimer’s‚ Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis has accelerated the efforts of many scientists * Many of the names for the parts of the brain have come from Latin and Greek words * The easiest way to learn about the brain is to look at it as three divisions; the hindbrain‚ the midbrain and the forebrain * Modern imaging has allowed us to study the brain and locate where important functions are occurring

Brain Structure and Function Worksheet PSY 340 Brain Structure and Function Worksheet 1. Basal ganglia: This area consists of three clusters of neurons (these are called globus pallidus‚ caudate nucleus‚ and putamen). These are situated at the bottom of the brain that accounts for the involuntary movements like tremors. 2. Corpus collosum: This thick band of nerve fibers connects both of the brains hemispheres. 3. Temporal lobe: The two sides of the brain that is located on the sides

The Effects of Soccer Headings on Brain Structure and Function Although often overlooked‚ concussions could be one of the biggest injuries a soccer player could front in their career. Many athletes in contact sports focus on showing their skills‚ getting playing time and ignored what the body was telling them to do. Most of the times‚ athletes were brushing off the injuries because they were feeling normal about it‚ particularly in sports like soccer. Soccer was the most popular sport among children

Describe the key structures and functions of a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell. Eukaryotic Cell (1) There are many organelles in the eukaryotic cell micrograph above. Some of these organelles are displayed in the prokaryotic micrograph and so‚ I have described the shared organelles in the prokaryotic micrograph section. Mitochondria The mitochondria cells break down nutrients which then creates energy. They act like a digestive system. This process is called cellular respiration. The
