Mitochondria: - The site of aerobic respiration where ATP (cellular energy) is produced. - They are 0.5-1.5 µm wide and 3-10 µm long. 2) Lysosome: - Contains digestive enzymes which are kept separate from the cytoplasm by the surrounding membrane, but can be used to digest invading cells or break down worn out components of cell. - Its size is 0.5-5 µm in diameter.…
Lysosomes are small organelles that break down food particles and worn-out cell parts. Most of the cell’s energy is produced in the mitochondria. Cytoplasm is gel-like fluid which many of the organelles are found. Ribosomes function as factories to produce proteins which can either be attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or float in the cytoplasm. The golgi apparatus receives materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and send them to other parts of the cell…
Crohn’ disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by inflammation of the digestive, or gastrointestinal tract. In fact, Crohn’s can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, but it is more commonly found at the end of the small intestine called the ileum. The most common symptoms of Crohn’s diseases are diarrhea, cramping and pain in your abdomen, and weight loss. Your digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract also called the digestive tract-and the liver, pancreas and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.…
7. How is the structure of a lysosome related to its function? Lysosomes are membranous sacs that contain digestive enzymes also known as hydrolytic enzymes. This allows it to breakdown macromolecules, damaged organelles, and pathogens inside the cell. Phagocytosis is the process of engulfing other organisms or particles with digestive enzymes.…
Also, responsible for the breaking down of fatty acids by beta-oxidation, excess purines to urea, and toxic compounds (ex: eliminates drugs and toxins from the liver and kidneys) Secretory Vesicle- vesicles that mediate the vesicular transport of cargo from an organelle to specific sites at the cell membrane, where it docks and fuses to release its content (ex: hormones or neurotransmitters) Ribosomes- a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins Cytoplasm- The jellylike material that makes up much of a cell inside the cell membrane, and, in eukaryotic cells, surrounds the nucleus. The organelles of eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum, and (in green plants) chloroplasts, are contained in the cytoplasm.…
. The 8 major systems within the body are the skeletal system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, the digestive system, the lymphatic system, the urinary system, the circulatory system and the reproductive system. Skeletal system - Bones make up the structure of our body, they are what gives it form. They are hard, and dense and interconnect via joints and are held in place by muscles and tendons.…
Mitochondria has a low dense organelle that has a double membrane, allowing oxidative phosphorylation. Generates the majority of adenosine triphosphate known as ATP, for energy. The pellet will be formed after the 2nd centrifugation; the absorbance measured of the mitochondria will be low. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is an enzyme located in the mitochondria membrane. FAD is present, it then turns the succinate to cause cellular respiration.…
CONCEPT 7: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF NURSING HISTORY AS PART OF GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT ASSESSMENT. This concept is taken from Block 4, Module 8 which is entitled as ‘Assessment of gastrointestinal system’. The digestive system is made up of organs that function together to transform food substances to energy and nutrients that are needed in the body.…
The mitochondrion provides energy to the cell using its stored energy. 4. The cell wall provides support for the cell and keeps unwanted pathogens outside of the cell. 5. Mitochondria and chloroplast both provide energy for the cell.…
Background information: Breathing: They breathe oxygen through gills. Gills are respiratory organs found in aquatic organisms, which allow the Yabby to remove the oxygen from the water for respiration. Each leg has a gill attached, with the movement of the legs helping the circulation of water over these gills. There is a thin layer of exoskeleton separating the gills from the body cavity, allowing water to cover the gills without getting inside the body.…
- What is the issue being addressed? When food is swallowed it enters oesophagus – carrying food from the mouth to the stomach for further digestion. Contractions called peristalsis push the food down the oesophagus through a muscular valve called the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) and into the stomach. The digestive juices secreted by the stomach are highly acidic.…
To understand the Musculo-Skeletal system and how it is suited to the functions that it performs for the body you first need to understand how the system works and what it is responsible for. It is comprised of two separate systems working together as one to provide the body with physical support, the ability to move and protection for its major organs. These two systems are the Skeletal System and the Muscular System and they contain the following:- Bones of the skeleton Muscles Cartilage Tendons Ligaments Joints Connective tissue binding to the body’s organs If you break the system down into its separate parts you can gain a deeper understanding of how they create a joint working system within the body.…
Along with the different functions that follow while food is being digested into the body. Among the many things that the digestive system has to offer it also has it’s not so good perks like symptoms & disorders. I have chosen to research about how an infected appendix can affect anybody without a single warning. I will also discuss how it affected a very well-known solo artist and his ordeal behind his Appendicitis.…
Learning has the power to transform all of us. We have the opportunity to shape and mold our minds into learning whatever we desire. It wasn’t until my first semester of college that I learned what the six stages of learning are and how our emotions affect our learning. Emotion is the on and off switch for learning. It’s important for us to understand this process and how we learn biologically.…
Some of these organelles include the nucleus, which holds the cells DNA, mitochondria, which produce ATP from glucose and oxygen, known as cellular respiration, and the golgi body which packages and processes different substances leaving the cell. Prokaryotic cells are the simpler of the two cells and are single celled organisms, such as bacteria, that don’t contain organelles.…
