    Cell wall Plant cell and animal cell are different in shape, size and also has few different organelles which function in different way. One of the main difference between plant cells and animal cells is that plant cells have a cell wall, whereas animal cells don't. Instead of cell wall animal cells have cell membrane but the plant cells have both cell wall and cell membrane. The cell wall in plant cells work as a protection layer outside the cell membrane which also provides structure for the

    MEMBRANE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION Fluid-mosaic model for biological membrane In human beings, all cells are surrounded by a cell membrane, are called the plasma membrane. Our current understanding of the structure of biological membranes is summarized in the fluid-mosaic model. It describes both the "mosaic" arrangement of proteins embedded throughout the lipid bilayer and also the "fluid" movement of lipids and proteins alike. Structure of membranes Biological membranes are sheet-like structures

    Final Report Outline * Name of the enzyme: Catalase found in chicken liver. * The name of the organism is chicken (liver). * The substrate is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)|. * Hypothesis: If the catalase in the chicken liver is exposed to hydrogen peroxide, it will cause a chemical reaction. This reaction will result in the destruction of hydrogen peroxide in the chicken liver, which is harmful to the cells; the enzyme catalase works best in acidic solutions and enzymes are denatured
