protein and fat that surrounds the cell. The cell membrane is semi permeable‚ allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others. Centrosome - (also called the "microtubule organizing centre") a small body located near the nucleus - it has a dense centre and radiating tubules. The centrosome is where microtubules are made. During cell division (mitosis)‚ the centrosome divides and the two parts move to opposite sides of the dividing cell. The centriole is the dense centre of the centrosome

Practice essay on Aging with Grace In 1901‚ Dr. Alois Alzheimer began observing a patient named Auguste D. Auguste began behaving more and more bizarrely after developing an intense suspicion about her husband. She would hide objects‚ become lost in her own home‚ start screaming loud insisting that people were out to murder her. Dr. Alzheimer found Auguste confused lines when she read‚ repeated single style labels many times when she wrote and used odd phrases when she spoke. When Auguste died in

Depending on what stressors there are the cellular membrane can become damaged. The objective of this experiment was to examine the struc

prevent over-expansion of cells Centrosome The centrosome is located close to the nucleus and is a small body made up of radiating tubules. It is responsible for producing and organizing the microtubules. In plant cells‚ the centrosome is a ’centriole-free’ organelle. It is also called the Microtubule-organizing center (MTOC). Function: Regulates cell-cycle progression Chloroplast Found only in plants‚ chloroplasts are organelles that resemble the structure of the mitochondria. It is a

D) The cytoskeleton is composed of three types of fibers: microfilaments‚ microtubules‚ and intermediate filaments. Points Earned: 0.5/0.5 Correct Answer(s): C 18. Cyanide inhibits mitochondrial function; as a result‚ the rate

Task 2 Nuclear & Cell membranes; the membranes surrounds all living cells and is also the most important organelle. Its function is to control the substances that move in or out of the cells and has other properties. The membranes that surround the nucleus and other organelles are almost identical to the cell membrane. It is composed of proteins‚ phospholipids and carbohydrates that are arranged in a fluid mosaic structure. Nucleus; the nucleus is the control centre of the whole cell. The nucleus

Molecular Biology Lab Report Mapping DNA using Restriction Enzymes Ava II and Pvu II to cut Bacterial DNA Abstract The objective of this project is to map bacterial DNA‚ which is derived from E. coli‚ using restriction endonucleases with gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments‚ after cutting has occurred‚ are separated using agarose gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments are placed in the gel‚ and an electric current is run through the matrix of the gel-like agarose. Migration of the fragments
