blood is restricted from clotting by the presence of anti-coagulants‚ then the fluid is plasma. After blood is collected from a patient it is divided into a number of fragments. By dividing blood into proteins like albumin‚ white blood cells and red blood cells clinics are assisted in curing patients. An example is a patient with liver failure being provided with blood plasma that contains the clotting factor. Whilst plasma has an anti-coagulant that prevents clotting‚ serum does not contain the

Jordan Wong Schiefer Acc Bio Block 6 11/15/12 Unit 4 Biochemistry relates to all things living because biochemistry makes up everything living. The atoms that make up the cells within our body are a part of biochemistry. There is carbon in every living thing and carbon based molecules are a part of biochemistry. Unit 4 describes the biochemistry in all living things. It explains the atomic structure and ions‚ properties of water and pH‚ organic molecules‚ chemical reactions and enzymes.

Determination of an Electrochemical Series In electrochemistry‚ a voltaic cell is a specially prepared system in which an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs spontaneously. This spontaneous reaction produces an easily measured electrical potential which has a positive value. Voltaic cells have a variety of uses and you commonly refer to them as a “battery”. Half-cells are normally produced by placing a piece of metal into a solution containing a cation of the metal (e.g.‚ Cu metal in a solution

Comparing Plant and Animal Cells Hypothesis: I predict I will see the following organelles when observing a plant and animal cell under a microscope: the cell membrane‚ cell wall‚ nucleus‚ and the endoplasmic reticulum. Frog Blood: Analysis: 1. The shape of the frog blood cell was in a circle‚ or oval. The edges were a little irregular‚ but it could still be identified as‚ basically‚ a circular shape. 2. The cells were produced by an animal‚ a frog. 3. The cell wall was not present

Introduction to Biochemistry Biochemistry : a multidisciplinary science that explores the chemistry of living organisms and molecular basis for changes occurring in living cells. Principal areas of Biochemistry 1. Struture and Function of Biomolecules Based on structure depend the function (structure function relationship) Example: Hemoglobin S differs from regular adult hemoglobin (hemoglobin A) by just one single amino acid. A valine replaces a glutamine in the 6th position of the beta

a) Using a human cell of your choice‚ describe how organelles work together to make and secrete a protein (LO1. AC 1.1) An epithelial cell in the thyroid gland‚ called a thyrocyte forms spherical follicles that produce a protein called thyroglobulin. This is a globular protein that has a functional role in metabolism. The protein is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine

Diffusion in Cells Isabel Zak Question: How does the size of a cell affect the distribution of chemicals throughout the cell? Hypothesis: The larger the cell is‚ the more difficult it will be for the chemicals to reach the centre of the cell‚ and diffuse throughout it. This is because there will be a higher surface-area to volume ratio in the larger cells‚ making the centre of the cells further away from the surface. Therefore‚ when dipped in sodium hydroxide‚ the larger cells will not be
