carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. In order to function most efficiently‚ haemoglobin needs to bind to oxygen tightly when the oxygen concentration is high in the lungs and be able to release oxygen rapidly in the relatively low partial pressure in the tissues. I will be comparing the structure and function of haemoglobin with the structure and function of collagen‚ which is a structural protein. Collagen’s functions are quite different from those of globular proteins such as enzymes;

How is the structure of cells related to their function? Cell structures come in various shapes and sizes dependent on their location within an organism and what life sustaining process it carries out. These can range from the globular protein of a red blood cell‚ designed to carry four oxygen molecules at a time to the tail like flagellum of a bacteria designed for mobility and penetration of organs within a body. There are two main types of cells‚ eukaryotic cells which are generally plant

Case Study # 2: Age-Related Changes that Occur in the Cardiovascular System Sarah Miller ITT Technical Institute As the heart ages it goes through changes such as thickening of the walls‚ slowing heart rate‚ decrease in maximum heart rate‚ loss of efficiency in pumping. The layers of the heart include the pericardium‚ epicardium‚ myocardium‚ and endocardium. The pericardium is the membrane that protects; it is a sac that the heart sits in and has a layer of fluid between for shock and absorption

The cardiovascular system is a vital part of our body and it is crucial for us to lead a healthy lifestyle to maintain the structures of our body. Structures of the cardiovascular system include the heart‚ blood vessels and blood. Structures of the Cardiovascular System Heart The heart is the most important organ in our body as it provides every part with blood. The heart pumps blood by producing electrical impulses which cause the ventricles to contract and relax and pump blood to the

SCIENCE CELL – STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS Cell – Structure and Functions Cell as the Basic Unit of Life The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms. It is the smallest part of the body of an organism‚ is capable of independent existence and is able to perform the essential functions of life. Discovery of the Cell Robert Hooke observed cork cells under a simple microscope designed by him. He observed compartments resembling honeycombs and each compartment

ESSAY ‘The structure and importance of the plasma membrane found within and around all cells’ The plasma membrane surrounds all eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded organelles whereas prokaryotic cells do not. The plasma membrane forms the boundary between the cell cytoplasm and the environment. Its function are to allow different environments to be established inside and outside the cell. It also controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell.
