Epithelia form continuous sheets of cells that cover surfaces in our body. They are important in the formation of membranes which act as a barrier and interface between compartments of the body. Choose an area of the body covered by epithelia (different from the ones your classmates have chosen) and explain how a break in this epithelial barrier might affect the functioning of a specific body membrane. After you post your initial post‚ reply to two or more of your classmates’ postings (Note that

Associate Program Material Cell Energy Worksheet Answer the following questions: Cellular respiration: What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? Cellular respiration is the complete cycle of a glucose molecule that happens to be using oxygen. The three stages of cellular respiration are: Glycosis‚ the Krebs cycle‚ and the electron transport chain. What is the role of glycolysis? Include the reactants and the products. Where does it occur? Glycolysis is the

The first step in the steroidogenesis takes place within the mitochondria where CHOL becomes a substrate . The transport of free CHOL from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane is facilitated by the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR). Within the mitochondria CHOL is converted to pregnenolone (PREG) by the side-chain cleavage enzyme known as CYP11A1. The conversion to PREG is the rate-limiting step and the following intermediate steps are taken place in the

Several things occur in the Krebs cycle. It takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. The electron transport chain is located in the cristae of a mitochondria. The enzymes used during the Krebs cycle are found within the mitochondrial matrix excluding succinate dehydrogenase‚ which is bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Protein complexes located in the inner membrane perform the transfer and the gradual release of energy is used to pump protons into the intermembrane space of the mitochondria

Why We Study the Cell and Its Components The cell is the most basic form of life essentially. Anything that is living fundamentally is composed of cells. We study the cell because it is the simplest unit of all living organisms and to begin understanding life‚ we must realize the cell’s structure‚ whether it is about the different types of cells or how the cell functions. Biology is the study of life and for the human species; the cell is the most basic principle of life‚ which is why it is so

Enzymes‚ ATP‚ Hereditary Fructose Intolerance WGU Role of enzymes in processes The role of an enzyme is to catalyze a chemical reaction. Usually an enzyme increases the rate of speed of a reaction. Enzymes break down molecules in our body faster than they would normally break down without enzymes. Enzymes work at specific temperatures and pH levels. (Wolfe‚ 2000). For example‚ a stomach enzyme works better in a more acidic environment‚ whereas intestinal enzymes work

Isolation and Study of Organelles from Pea Seeds by Differential Centrifugation and Corn to Determine Mitochondrial Activity BIOL 230-01 Cell & Molecular Biology October 13‚ 2014 ABSTRACT Since the discovery of the cell in 1665 by Robert Hooke‚ man has always wondered about the complexity and potential functionality. Using pea seeds‚ which is readily available‚ we will be studying the different parts of the cell by separating it into its component parts by

Doctors have concluded that many of the chemicals your body produces plays a key role in the prevention of disease. Elevating some natural chemicals have shown to even assist in the therapy of diseases
