Sickle Cell Anemia‚ also known as Sickle Cell Disease‚ is a disease that causes the production of abnormal hemoglobin. The red blood cells (RBCs) carry oxygen to organs and tissues. Hemoglobin‚ a molecule in the RBCs‚ is a protein that attaches to the oxygen in the lungs and carries it to all parts of the body. Hemoglobin takes on the oxygen‚ and releases carbon dioxide‚ a process known as oxygenation. In the tissues‚ deoxygenation occurs where the processes is reversed‚ when hemoglobin releases

Diffusion in Cells Isabel Zak Question: How does the size of a cell affect the distribution of chemicals throughout the cell? Hypothesis: The larger the cell is‚ the more difficult it will be for the chemicals to reach the centre of the cell‚ and diffuse throughout it. This is because there will be a higher surface-area to volume ratio in the larger cells‚ making the centre of the cells further away from the surface. Therefore‚ when dipped in sodium hydroxide‚ the larger cells will not be

A. C. elegans is an ideal organism to use for studying aging because it is generally small in size and has a rapid lifespan. (http://cmgm.stanford.edu/~kimlab/index_wormaging.html). The organism also shares many essential biological characteristics that cause problems in human biology.(Edgley 2014). Worms can be genetically mutated fairly easily because of their 4-day generation time‚ where it develops from an egg to an adult with a maximum length of 1.5mm‚ while maintaining transparency.

Sickle Cell Disease Blood has been considered the essence of life for centuries‚ and our blood is a living tissue made up of liquid and solids. There are many diseases related to blood such as anemia which is the decrease in oxygen supply to tissue and causes hypoxia‚ thalassemia is the mutation in one or more globin gene of hemoglobin‚ etc. Therefore‚ one of blood disorders is the most common symptomatic hemoglobinopathy with the greatest prevalence in worldwide which is called sickle cell disease
