Animal cell “All animals and plants are made of cells. Animal cells and plant cells have features in common, such as a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes. Plant cells also have a cell wall, and often have chloroplasts and a permanent vacuole.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa_pre_2011/cells/cells1.shtml Reading from bbc bitesize I found out that these are the functions of each part of the animal cell.

mosaic structure of cell membranes. The fluid mosaic model is used to describe a membrane’s structure divers protein molecules suspended in a fluid phospholipid bilayer. This molecule illustrates the structure and function a plasma membrane, the boundary that encloses a living cell. 2. What are the functions of membrane proteins? 3. How are phospholipid molecules arranged in the plasma membrane? How does this arrangement affect the structure and properties of cell membranes (including

it being very rare. Well you may be wondering what necrosis is. Necrosis is the disorganized breakdown of flesh in some part of the body of a multicellular organism. In an average adult human 50 billion to 70 billion cells die off and are replaced every day. Necrosis refers to cell death that is un-programmed and results from body conditions. These body conditions are things such as: Infections, cancer, serious injury, venom, severe inflammation, and the most severe being brown recluse, whose bite

Bacteria are a small and simple living organisms and are classified under the kingdom Monera. They are unicellular. Bacteria have no true nucleus and therefore prokaryotic. They consist of DNA strands only. Some bacteria are autotrophic and produce their own nutrients by means of photosynthesis. Most bacteria are heterotrophic and cannot produce their own nutrients. Heterotrophic bacteria are either parasites or saprophytes, or they live mutualistically with other organisms. Bacteria is found in

role in eukaryotic cells. The functions of the nucleus include duplicating & storing genetic information, and coordinating cell activities such as synthesising proteins, growth, cell reproduction, and intermediary metabolism. Structures which make up the nucleus comprise a double membrane that circumscribes the entire organelle as well as isolating it’s placates from the anatomical cytoplasm, and the nuclear envelope (bounds the nucleus.). In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells contain other genus

interaction between EB1 and BubR1 further, I performed a reverse coimmunoprecipitation using BubR1 antibody from HeLa cell lysate. Immunoblotting analysis showed EB1 in BubR1 immunoprecipitate. To conform the results, I did a GST Pull down using purified EB1-GST, EB1C-GST, GST proteins from HeLa cell lysate. For this, first I incubated purified EB1-GST, EB1C-GST and GST proteins with HeLa cell lysate and pulled down the GST proteins with glutathione beads. Immunoblotting analyses of precipitate showed,
