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

The idea of a cell phone has been around since the nineteenth century. A cell phone is also referred to as a mobile phone‚ or a cellular device. The first cellular device was invented in 1973 by Martin Cooper. This mobile telephone was the size of a brick! Ever since this invention‚ the cell phone has become the most prevalent piece of technology. Nowadays‚ the majority of people in the world possess a cell phone. One country in particular that is very popular when it comes to cell phones is the

Hydrogen Fuel Cells There are many reasons to look for new cleaner forms of energy. Fossil fuels‚ being non-renewable‚ will eventually run out. Pollution from burning fossil fuels destroys our environment. Hydrogen fuel cells could be used many places where fossil fuels are currently being used. Using hydrogen as a form of energy can not only reduce our dependence on imported oil‚ but also benefit the environment by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants that affect our air quality

Sickle Cell Anemia The definition for sickle cell anemia is an abnormal‚ rigid‚ sickle shape. Sickling decreases the cells flexibility and results in a risk of various complications. Sickle cell is the name of a specific disease in which there is a homozygosity for the mutation that causes Hbs. This type of disease‚ usually presenting in childhood‚ occurs more commonly in people from parts of the tropical and sub-tropical regions where malaria is more common. If a person has sickle cell anemia

multicellular organisms‚ the cells that make up their respective organisms have different structures depending on their function. The process in which cells get specialized is known as differentiation. Unspecialized cells‚ known as stem cells‚ can be called upon to replace damaged or aging tissues‚ or create new tissue for growth. An example of specialization can be found with blood cells. Every blood cell originates from the bone marrow‚ starting as a unspecialized stem cell known as a multipotential

Cell Phones and Driving One of the most popular innovations in automotive travel in the past decade has nothing to do with the automobile itself‚ the people who drive them‚ or the roads over which they operate. Rather‚ it is the ability to carry on telephone conversations while driving. A major concern for the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) is that drivers are being distracted by cell phone usage and about 85 percent of the nation ’s cell phone subscribers

CHAPTER 1 Cell Structure and Organisation Cells * All living organisms are made up of cells * The simplest living organisms have one cell only * His name is unicellular-e.g. bacteria. * Most other living organisms have many cells- his name is multicellular- e.g. Man‚ plants‚ animals. * Cells can be seen only under microscope Cell structure All cells have the following structure in common: a) Cell membrane- a very thin layer of protein and fat‚ surrounding the cell. It is

Our cell phones are smart‚ very smart. They can help us answer questions in math and science‚ provide driving directions‚ give us a weather forecast‚ andenable us to talk or text with our friends and family‚ anytime‚ anywhere. We use them to make purchases when we shop. We download electronic books that can help with our homework or research. Cell phones are an integral part of our daily lives. We‚ both children and adults‚ carry them everywhere we go. Should students be allowed to have cell phones
