Cell Membrane The Cell Membrane- The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell; the cell membrane is made up of phospholipids‚ proteins and carbohydrates. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell allowing certain substances into the cell‚ while keeping other substances out. The phospholipids form a thin‚ flexible sheet while the proteins float in the phospholipid sheet like an ice berg‚ and the carbohydrates extend out from the

1 The Effect of Molecular Weight on the Rate of Diffusion of Substances1 Alexander Ken Libranza Group 1 Sec. A – 1L March 6‚ 2012 A scientific paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in General Biology I laboratory under Prof. Cheryl M. Talde‚ 2nd sem.‚ 2011-2012. 1 2 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was assessed using two tests: the glass tube test and the agar-water gel test. In the glass tube set-up‚ two cotton plugs soaked

How Does Climate Change Affect Plants? Historical climate change has had a profound effect on current biogeography‚ so we can expect our ongoing and rapid climate change‚ to have as great an effect. Climate change has important implications for nearly every aspect of life on Earth‚ and effects are already being felt. * Temperatureeffects–average‚ minimum or maximum can be important determinants of plant distribution For example the Palmae/Arecaceae are cold intolerant as their single meristem

The external environment’s effects upon genes can influence disease‚ and some of these effects can be inherited in humans. Studies investigating how environmental factors impact the genetics of an individual’s offspring are difficult to design. However‚ in certain parts of the world in which social systems are highly centralized‚ environmental information that might have influenced families can be obtained. For example‚ Swedish scientists recently conducted investigations examining whether nutrition

Growth and organizational evolution causes change‚ resistance to that inevitability and stress as a byproduct. The tactics individuals and leaders adopt can cause harmful consequences if not managed with sensitivity and awareness. Change can be threatening for those experiencing job insecurity (Robbins & Judge‚ 2007) or develop teams and co-workers that act at cross-purposes (Huy & Mintzbereg‚ 2003). Change can be a source of stress‚ but so can workload‚ leadership styles‚ and the shuffling of roles
