Introduction
Endomembrane system in Protein Synthesis
The interior of a eukaryotic cell is packed with membranes so thin that they are totally invisible under the low resolving power of a light microscope. The endomembrane system fills the cell dividing it into compartments, channeling the passage of molecules through the interior of the cell, and providing surfaces for the synthesis of lipids and some proteins. The presence of these membranes in eukaryotic cells constitutes one of the most fundamental distinctions between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. (Johnson et al, 2010)
Endomembrane system functions in a wide range of processes inside the cell. One of its main functions is the modification, packaging and transport of proteins, especially those aimed at the plasma membrane or for secretion from the cell. However, compartments endomembrane system also operates in …show more content…

It consists of a network of membranous tubules and flattened sacs. The bags are known as cisternae, a general term for membrane structures that come in stacks and have a flattened-pancake structure. The discs and tubules of the ER are hollow, and the interior space is called the lumen or cisternal space. The ER membrane is continuous with the nuclear envelope, and its lumen connects to the space between the two membrane layers of the nuclear envelope.

ER is divided into two types: rough ER, having ribosomes attached to its outersurface, and smooth ER, lacking ribosomes. The two types of ER have different functions in the cell, with rough ER to be mainly involved in protein modification and smooth ER being more of a jack-of-all-trades (many functions). Both types of ER can manufacture new lipids for export to other cellular membranes. (Johnson et al, 2010)

The Rough ER is a site of protein

Tn 4351 was originally isolated from bacteroides fragilis [30] . The transposon was successfully introduced into Cytophaga succinicans, Flavobacterium meningosepticum, Flexibacter canadiansis, Flexibacter strain SFI and Sporocytophaga myxococcoides by conjugation [25]. Tn 4351carries two antibiotic resistance gene. One of the codes for resistance to erythromycin and clindamycin which is expressed in bactroides but not in E.Coli. The other gene codes for resistance in tetracycline and is expressed in aerobically grpwn E. coli, but not in anaerobically grpwn E. coli or in bacteroides.

Rationale The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane is found in all cells and separates the extracellular side of the cell from the cytosolic side (Cell membrane (plasma membrane), 2023). The purpose of the cell membrane is to communicate with the cell’s external environment, to contain the cell’s contents and to control the transport of molecules in and out of the cell. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration.

Organelles as organism is from The Lives of a cell authored by Lewis Thomas. Thomas uses a unique writing style that is very recognizable and different from the others. This helps us to appreciate our diversity as human beings demonstrated by our abilities to write differently. As a reader one is able to form an image of who Thomas is by how he expresses his feelings and attitudes. When this text was written a lot of people, mostly scientists, thought and had knowledge of different things than they do now.

Elijah Brycth B. Jarlos IX-Argon 1. Multicellularity is a condition of an organism to have multicellular cells. An example of a organism who has multicellular cells are plants, animals, and humans. The main reason of why scientists have a hard time finding a good set of existing organisms to compare. Is neither the first set of organisms which is being compared is dying as fast as the second specimen is being examined or they just can’t find the right species.

The human retina is full of photoreceptor cells, cells that detect light, that are essential for proper vision. These cells contain the protein, rhodopsin, that enables them to detect light. When exposed to light part of these proteins detach from the phospholipid bilayer and enter the cell to be either destroyed or recycled to form more rhodopsin. However, the process by which rhodopsin is recycled has been mostly unknown until now. Similar processes are used in other cells to maintain the large surface areas they need to function, such as cells in the gut and lungs.

  The cell membrane regulates the deoxyribonucleic acid, enzymes, and it builds a pathways for any reaction such as metabolic.   When waste products are present the cell membrane gets rid of it and the cell membrane allows important things inside .   A great example of what the cell membrane allows in or out is water and oxygen.   Specific molecules are only made to enter the cell which is also called semipermeable.   Molecules can be passed by active transport or either passive transport.

Endometriosis While other women may have it easy to get impregnated or are making the decision to terminate their pregnancy, there are other women who are not able to have their own children. Some women decide to terminate their pregnancy based on social stigma or abusive situations. There are others who die trying to have a normal sex life and become pregnant. One of the most painful and dreadful moments is knowing that you cannot conceive a “seed” of your own. A common condition known in gynecology is endometriosis.

The minus end of the microtubule is embedded inside the centrosome and the plus end directed outwards. Centrosome and basal body are the microtubule organizing centre (MTOC), where nucleation of microtubule occurs. In plant and fungi, microtubule organizing centre is called as Spindle Pole Body (SPB). All these microtubule organizing centers contain universally a tubulin homologue called γ-tubulin that interacts with α- and β-tubulin and helps in the nucleation of microtubule. In a cell, individual microtubule elongates and shrinks back or may completely disappear and is replaced by a new one.

Biochemical tests are the tests used for the identification of bacterial species based on the differences in the biochemical activities of different bacteria. Bacterial physiology differs from one species to the other. These differences in carbohydrate metabolism, protein metabolism, fat metabolism, production of certain enzymes and ability to utilize a particular compound help them to be identified by the biochemical tests. Gram’s stain was originally devised by histologist Hans Christian Gram in 1884. Gram-positive bacteria stain purple, while Gram-negative bacteria stain pink when subjected to Gram staining.

Throughout this lab many things were concluded about cells, organelles and biology all together. A biologist needs to be patient, careful and accurate. In addition when looking at cells, to see all the organelles, being careful will help significantly and being patient will make it easier to see the cells on a high power lens. One thing that was concluded in both experiments is that in each different organism and cell there was a different quantity of organelle unlike the diagrams in the textbook. The last thing that was concluded is that no two organisms are the same.
