The document summarizes key aspects of cell structure and function. It describes that cells have three main parts - the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The plasma membrane encloses the cell and regulates what enters and exits. The cytoplasm contains organelles that carry out metabolic functions, and the nucleus houses genetic material and controls cellular activities. Specific organelles like mitochondria, ribosomes, and the endoplasmic reticulum are discussed in detail. The mechanisms of passive transport like diffusion and osmosis, as well as active transport processes, are also summarized.
This document summarizes the main components and functions of cells and cell organelles. It describes that cells can be either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. The key organelles discussed include the cell membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, peroxisomes, cytosol and cytoskeleton. Each organelle is briefly described in terms of its structure and main functions in the cell.
The plasma membrane acts as a gatekeeper that regulates what enters and exits the cell. It uses both passive and active transport. Passive transport relies on diffusion and moves substances along concentration gradients, while active transport requires energy and can move substances against concentration gradients using mechanisms like the sodium-potassium pump. The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that gives cells structure and allows for selective permeability and transport of molecules in and out of the cell.

Tissue Definition
Tissues are groups of cells that have a similar structure and act together to perform a specific function. The word tissue comes from a form of an old French verb meaning “to weave”. There are four different types of tissues in animals: connective, muscle, nervous, and epithelial. In plants, tissues are divided into three types: vascular, ground, and epidermal. Groups of tissues make up organs in the body such as the brain and heart.
Types of Animal Tissues
Connective
Connective tissue connects or separates groups of other tissues. It is found in between all the other tissues and organs in the body. Connective tissue is made up of cells and ground substance, which is a gel that surrounds cells. Most connective tissue, except for lymph and blood, also contains fibers, which are long, narrow proteins. Fibers can be collagenous, which bind bones to tissues; elastic, which allow organs like the lungs to move; or reticular, which provide physical support to cells. Connective tissue also allows oxygen to diffuse from blood vessels into cells.
About 1 in 10 people are have a disorder involving connective tissue. Some connective tissue disorders include sarcomas, Marfan syndrome, lupus, and scurvy, which is a Vitamin C deficiency that leads to fragile connective tissue.
Muscle
Muscle tissue comprises all the muscles in the body, and the specialized nature of the tissue is what allows muscles to contract. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle anchors tendons to bones and allows the body to move. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and contracts to pump blood. Smooth muscle is found in the intestines, where it helps move food through the digestive tract, and it is also found in other organs like blood vessels, the uterus, and the bladder. Skeletal and cardiac muscles are striated; this means that they contain sarcomeres (a unit of muscle tissue) that are arranged in a uniform pattern. Smooth muscle does not have sarcomeres.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an example of a muscle tissue disorder. It is an inherited disorder that causes muscles to atrophy over time. The muscles shorten as they atrophy, which can cause scoliosis and immobile joints. Individuals with the disorder are usually male because the gene responsible for it is found on the X chromosome (of which males have only one).
Nervous
Nervous tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, which are all parts of the nervous system. It is made up of neurons, which are nerve cells, and neuroglia, which are cells that help nerve impulses travel. Nervous tissue is grouped into four types: gray matter and white matter in the brain, and nerves and ganglia in the peripheral nervous system. The main difference between gray and white matter is that axons of the neurons in gray matter are unmyelinated, while white matter is myelinated. Myelin is a white, fatty substance that insulates neurons and

All living things are composed of cells, which are the basic structural and functional units of life. Each cell needs nutrients and oxygen, produces energy, eliminates waste, and maintains homeostasis. Cells form tissues like muscle and nerve tissue, which then combine to form organs like the heart, liver and kidneys. Systems of organs work together to perform functions like digestion. The document then describes the structure and functions of key cellular components like the cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and organelles. It discusses cellular processes like protein synthesis and energy production in mitochondria.
Eukaryotic cells contain specialized structures called organelles that carry out different functions. The main organelles include the nucleus, which contains the cell's DNA; the endoplasmic reticulum for protein transport; mitochondria and chloroplasts for energy production; and lysosomes for digestion. Plant and animal cells differ in structures like cell walls, chloroplasts, and central vacuoles. The cytoskeleton helps maintain the cell's shape and enables movement. Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely evolved from ancient symbiotic relationships between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

This document summarizes the key functions and components of blood. It discusses how blood carries oxygen, nutrients, waste, hormones, and buffers throughout the body. Blood also helps regulate temperature, volume, and prevents infection through white blood cells and antibodies. The three main components of blood are plasma, red blood cells, and white blood cells, which are all produced through hematopoiesis in the bone marrow. The document then provides details on specific blood cells like erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets, as well as blood disorders, blood typing, and the clotting process.
This document discusses enzyme kinetics and the Michaelis-Menten equation. It explains that the Michaelis-Menten equation describes the relationship between substrate concentration and reaction rate in a hyperbolic curve. The parameters in the equation, Vmax and Km, are defined. Vmax is the maximum reaction rate when the enzyme is saturated with substrate. Km is the substrate concentration when the reaction rate is at half of Vmax and represents the substrate concentration required to saturate half the enzyme. The assumptions of initial velocity and steady state that are required to derive the Michaelis-Menten equation are also outlined.
This document provides an introduction to enzymes and their catalytic properties. It states that enzymes are catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. Enzymes accelerate reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for products to form and by stabilizing reactant molecules in an orientation that favors product formation. The document gives an example of an enzyme that can accelerate a reaction over a billionfold compared to the uncatalyzed rate. It also describes how enzymes specifically recognize substrates and produce products in high yields, often over 95%, due to their unique structural fit with substrates.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
