phloem transports oxygen as oxygen gets to a plants cell by diffusion. Both stems and roots contain xylem vessels and phloem tubes. In a stem these are grouped into vascular bundles arranged in a ring. In a root these are arranged in the centre forming a structure called the stele. Xylem tissue has the dual functions of support and transport. It contains several different types of cells these are vessel elements‚ traceids‚ fibres and parenchyma cells. In contrast to this phloem tissue is living and

Investigation the effect of the organic solvents on the cell membrane of the beetroot Objective: To investigate the effect of different organic solvents‚ such as alcohol and paraffin oil‚ on the cell membrane of the beetroot by using the red pigments in the beetroot as indicator. Hypothesis: Organic solvents dissolve the organic matter in the cell membrane (such as phospholipids). This destroys the cell membrane‚ and the permeability of the cell membrane is disrupted casing red pigments to leak out

What are the main functions of parliament and how do MP’s check the executives? This essay will talk about what are the main functions of parliament and how do MP’s check the executives. Parliament’s the source of constitutional legitimacy in Britain. Parliament has four main functions: Formation of government Representation Legalisation Scrutiny The British Parliament is a bicameral (e.g. two chamber) legislature consisting of the elected House of Commons‚ the Monarch

1. The cell membrane structure is vital to the life of the cell. The cell membrane is shaped as having a phosphate head at the very outer surface‚ and two fatty acid tails hanging from it. The membrane is double‚ so at the tip of the fatty acid tails‚ there are two more fatty acid tails attached to another phosphate head. This is what it looks like: <br> <br>The reason the cell membrane is shaped like this is mainly to control the water flow in and out of the cell. Water is very important to

The cell wall maintains the integrity of the cell. The cell wall helps protect the cell against the environmental changes it it allows most molecules to pass through it. This layer is composed of molecules called peptidoglycans. Just inside the cell wall is a less rigid envelope called the plasma membrane also known as the cytoplasmic membrane. In bacterial cells the plasma membrane has two primary functions: it serves as a selective barrier to molecules that are penetrating the cell wall allowing

BIOL 2010 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY I Chapter 4: TISSUES AND MEMBRANES Outline of Notes I. Introduction. A. General: Cells are highly specialized and interdependent on one another. Groups of similar cells performing similar functions are called Tissues The study of tissues is called Histology. Organs are made of tissues. A detailed understanding of tissues will greatly help your understanding of organs and organ systems later in this course. Tissues are classified into 4 main types:

Ecosystem Structure‚ Function‚ and Change Keyich is a city in Casdonia‚ located in Eastern Europe. Over the past six years‚ the city’s population has grown rapidly from 265‚000 in 1995 to 650‚000 in 2001‚ resulting in a 145% increase. The continious fast-paced growth estimates that by 2008 the city’s population is expeted to reach 1‚600‚000. The Keywich City Council has concerns with the excelling growth pattern and possible negative consequences associated with the growth such as cultural‚ economic

Your last paragraph was very detailed with great information about the cell membrane‚ you stated “ The cell membrane is very thin and fragile‚ and it contains two different types of proteins. “Integral proteins are part of the membrane structure and cannot be removed without damaging or destroying the membrane. Peripheral proteins are bound to the inner or outer surface of the membrane and are
