Basic Mechanism An autoimmune disease occurs when the body produces an abnormal immune response against self antigens. It is caused by failure of the tolerance processes to protect the host from the action of self reactive lymphocytes. An organ-specific autoimmune disease involves gradual damage to cellular structures and is replaced by the compensating connective tissue which depletes the function of the gland/organ. Type 1 diabetes (TD1)‚ is an organ specific autoimmune disease characterize

RANELLE JANINE L. ASI BIO 120 S-5L EXERCISE 9. Genomic DNA Isolation & Exercise 10. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Cell and molecular biology is a science based on the various systems of a cell resulting to its regulation‚ maintenance and function. Many of these systems involve genetic information hence the study of the DNA is an essential part of this field. To able to analyze DNA‚ it must first be isolated and purified from its natural environment filled with biological molecules and compounds

1. The cell membrane structure is vital to the life of the cell. The cell membrane is shaped as having a phosphate head at the very outer surface‚ and two fatty acid tails hanging from it. The membrane is double‚ so at the tip of the fatty acid tails‚ there are two more fatty acid tails attached to another phosphate head. This is what it looks like: <br> <br>The reason the cell membrane is shaped like this is mainly to control the water flow in and out of the cell. Water is very important to

PHYSIO EX 1 Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. The temperature of the solutions and the difference in concentration of the ion or molecule between the sides of the membrane 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? Since the chemical formula for urea is (NH2)2CO and its molecular weight is about 60. It will not diffuse through the

membrane and explain the process of active and passive transport through the membrane. The plasma membrane is made up of proteins that form pores and channels‚ carbohydrate molecules that are used for cell recognition and cholesterol to provide membrane stability. Phospholipid molecules are the most abundant component found in the plasma membrane. Phospholipids molecules are composed of a phosphate head and a lipid tail; the structure of a cell membrane is a double layer of these phospholipid

Developing a successful business model without strong control mechanisms will only generate temporary profits. The purpose of control mechanisms in business models is to protect the created values and profit streams from being reduced by competitors‚ partners or strong customers. The last decades have shown a rapid growth in customer power at the same time as new technology and services are being replaced faster. Even though control always has been an important part of the business model
