The cell itself was first discovered by Robert Hook, an English scientist, in 1665. The theory itself is made up of ideas and conclusions drawn out from the various scientists including Theodore Schwann and Matthias Schleiden who proposed the theory in 1839. Rudolf Virchow also played a part in the development of the cell theory and through the years, with additions of new specifications and redefined parts of the theory, it became more modernised. The general basis of the theory is that all organisms
well of a tissue culture treated 6-well plate appropriately for each cell line or condition being investigated. 2. Prepare 2x cell culture medium by dissolving 1 g of powder medium and 0.2 g of sodium bicarbonate in de-ionized water to a final volume of 50 ml. 3. Pass this medium through a 0.2 μm filter to sterilize. 4. Add additional components needed for normal culture of the cell line of interest. For example, grow CMT 167 cell line in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin
within the cells[1,2]. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum: rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered with ribosomes in its membrane, these ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis[2]. The ribosome free endoplasmic reticulum also know as smooth endoplasmic reticulum, its functions including lipid synthesis, drug detoxification and regulation of calcium concentration[2,3,4]. Furthermore, the endoplasmic reticulum can be isolated from animal soft by centrifugation
was done when observing the cells; it shows a schematic drawing of the tissue cells and some of the parts are labeled. Eukaryotic cells contain several types of organelles, which are a small cellular structure, which performs specialized function inside a cell. Examples of organelles are mitochondria, endoplasmic
It is a group of similar cells that have the same functions in human body. Tissues outcomes in the formation of organs made primarily of tissues. (Cinnamon L. , 2) The epithelial tissue’s function is to secret substance, prevent, cover and line ultimately all of the body’s cavities and surface. (Cinnamon L. , 71, 72) Connective tissue is known to bind, support, and separate other organs and tissues. There are five kinds of connective tissue which are cartilage, bone, blood and loose and dense connective
Human body consist of many different type of cells and the collection of them form the tissue. Tissue is a group of cells that is highly organized manner according to the specific function and structure which then make up organs and various part of body. (Slomianka, 2009)There are four types of tissues that make up the human body, which is epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and neural tissue. However, the tissue that gives support to the body and made up the bones is connective tissue
IMPACT OF FUNGI ON HUMANS Fungi are eukaryotic, sporulating, heterotrophic organisms which acquire nutrients through absorption. Their vegetative bodies are made up of thalli and reproduce both asexually and sexually, although in some the sexual stage is not known. Various classes exist; basidiomycetes, ascomycetes, deuteromycetes, zygomycetes and oomycetes. The impact of fungi on humans cannot be underestimated. They play vital roles in the ecosystem, including the wellbeing of man. These roles
to the microorganisms in them," said Susan Perkins, a curator at the American Museum of Natural History.So far, Harvard geneticist George Church and colleagues have used a gene-editing technique to insert mammoth genes into the DNA of elephant skin cells. This is far from cloning mammoths, but it is a first step to manipulating the DNA found in mammoth
packed hyphae. They are best described as mushrooms. Basidiomycota is expressed in figure 2 and 3, easily recognized by the shape and spores coming from each point of the shape. They sexually reproduce by nuclear fusions within Basidia to make a diploid cell, which undergoes meiosis to form Basidiospores. This is reflected in figure 2 with those points I referred to before. Zygomycota, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota all perform sexual and asexual reproduction just in different ways. Their structure is the
Have you ever tried cold Cola from the fridge with a few pieces of lemon and ice, half-lying on your sofa during summer time? That’s super enjoyable, isn’t it? Many people are fond of drinking soft drinks or eating ice-creams every day. But, while soft drinks and ice-creams are easing the summer heat or bringing you taste buds to Cloud 9, they are also making you intake excessive sugar. Over-consumption sugar has many negative effects on human. For example, it will bring obesity and overweight.
1.1 Company background 1.1 Introduction and financials to the company Gatorade is one of the main brands of PepsiCo, the third largest company in the world with net revenue of 62.8 billion in 2016 and a long term record of profitability, stability and growth (Statista, 2017). PepsiCo’s mission is to be the principal consumer product company in the food and beverage industry whilst providing financial remunerations and development opportunities to its employees, partners and communities (Pepsico
However, the glycaemic index only measures glucose and not fructose. Both these compounds are metabolized very differently by the body. While nearly every cell in our body can use glucose, the liver is the only organ that can metabolize fructose and with an increased level, the liver starts turning it into fat. Excessive amounts of fructose can lead to elevated blood pressure, obesity, liver disease, cancer
of this article is about mechanical forces and stem cells. The author is talking about if mechanical forces alone be manipulated to create stem like cells in other words, can mechanical forces be turned into stem like cells. In the article it says how some researchers claimed to reprogram somatic cells (any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells) into pluripotent progenitors. Ever since this team found how to reprogram cells other teams said to do so too. This led into more investigation
The impact of Energy Drinks on the body XYZ Summary: Energy drinks are very popular beverages, largely consumed by people for boosting their energy levels. However, energy drinks contain large concentrations of caffeine, which can cause many long term effects on the body. This reports highlights the history, origin and caffeine content present in different popular brands of energy drinks. Additionally, the report also highlights the long term effects of caffeine on the body. Table
Connective tissue varies widely in appearance and function, but all forms share three basic components which are extracellular protein fibers, specialized cells, and a fluid known as ground substance. The combination of the extracellular fiber and ground substances produces the matrix that surrounds the cells. The functions of connective tissue are to establish a structural framework for the body. Secondly, it transport fluids and dissolved materials. The connective tissue also protect delicate
Stem cells are the small multicellular organism that has the capability to expand and multiply infinitely. With this ability to multiply, stem cells can be used to regenerate bone marrow, ligaments, muscles, skin, arteries, and potentially organs. When used correctly the cells can repair injuries and one day scientists may be able to repurpose stem cells to regrow limbs and appendages. Stem cells can one day be used to accelerate the healing process from injuries and surgery, or potentially eliminate
Unexpected as it may be, sports drinks are one of the fastest growing beverage categories worldwide and are a multi-billion dollar industry (Black). “In the United States alone, the sales of sports drinks exceed $1.5 billion a year” (Skerrett). And yet, sports drinks are made up of just water, salts, and sugary additives. These salts are known as electrolytes, and are the key characteristic of sports drinks. Examples of electrolytes include sodium and potassium, which can be found in sweat (Smolin)

The earthworm is a invertebrate and the Bullfrog is a vertebrate. This means that the Earthworm does not have a skeletal structure in its body but a bullfrog does. A key characteristic of both the animals is that they have bilateral symmetry
Lareina Chen Mr. Hayward 9A January 11th, 2017 Genetic Engineering Essay Genetic engineering is a powerful and dangerous technology. Sometimes called genetic modification, genetic engineering is the process of altering the DNA in an organism’s genome. Editing the sequence of nucleotides can sometimes lead to extreme harmful effects on the human race, while on the other hand generates huge benefits for society. While talking about Genetic engineering, it is carried out by CRISPR. CRISPR stands for
be unicellular or one-celled. Cells are a part of every living organism, even the smallest ones. They are alive, and show the six characteristics of life. These cells are divided into two groups: eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes might be similar, but they also have a lot of differences. First of all, eukaryotes and prokaryotes have the same basic structure. An example of this is the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm composes the volume or the inside of a cell. Cytoplasm is the place where
