...Human Cell Components Necleolus: The round granular structure within the nucleus of a cell, and composed of protein and RNA. Nucleolus is involved with ribosomal RNA synthesis and formation of ribosomes in cells. Nucleoplasm The nucleoplasm is a highly viscous liquid that surrounds the chromosomes and nucleoli. Many substances such as nucleotides (necessary for purposes such as the replication of DNA) and enzymes (which direct activities that take place in the nucleus) are dissolved in the nucleoplasm. Mitochondrion: Spherical or rod-shaped organelles found within the cytoplasm of cells, and are referred to as the “powerhouse of the cell since they act as the site for the production of high-energy compounds (e.g. ATP), which are vital energy source for several cellular processes. Nucleus: The large, membrane-bounded organelle that contains the genetic material, in the form of multiple linear DNA molecules organized into structures called chromosomes. The major functions of nucleus are to maintain the integrity of DNA and to control cellular activities such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction by regulating gene expression. Cytoplasm: It is the jelly-like substance in a cell that contains the cytosol, organelles, and inclusions, but not including the nucleus. The cytoplasm is where the functions for cell expansion, growth, metabolism, and replication are carried out Ribosome: A minute particle composed of protein and ribonucleic acid (RNA) that serves as...

...Cell membrane: The cell membrane surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell and its job is to protect the inside of a cell by only allowing certain substances into the cell and keeping other substances out. It also helps to support the cell and maintains its shape. Nucleus: This is the biggest part of the cell and is the part of the cell which acts like the brain. It is not always in the middle of the cell but will be placed within the cytoplasm. In some cases a cell may have many nuclei and these are called multinucleate and are usually in muscle cells. In red blood cells, the nucleus is lost during development and is the only cell that is able to survive without a nucleus. The nucleus includes DNA. Cytoplasm: The cytoplasm of a cell is the material in the inside of the cell which is semi-fluid and is able to flow slowly and all chemical reactions within cells are carried out in there. Complex sugars including glycogen and melanin which is the pigment responsible for skin and hair colour are in the cytoplasm. These chemicals are the basic living materials that a cell needs. Organelles are the various components of a cell with a specific structure and function and are linked to miniature organs. These include: Mitochondria: These are small components within cells that perform different important functions in order to keep the body healthy. They make the energy that cells need to do to work correctly. An example of this is brain cells which need a large amount of energy in order...

...During this essay we will discuss the Disassembly of an M4 Carbine Rifle. The only items needed to perform these directions provided is an M4, M4 magazine, gloves which are optional and the readers undivided attention. Before any disassembly to any weapon no matter what experience level the person may be, the individual must "clear the weapon" in order to ensure that the weapon is unloaded and that there is no round in the chamber. The first step is to ensure that the weapon is pointed in a safe direction weather it is aimed down range toward targets or toward the ground. You must never point their weapon at something they don’t intend to shoot. Always point your weapon in a safe direction you must always ensure the weapon is on safe at all times until you are ready to use it. To place the weapon on safe move the selector lever on the left side of the pistol grip to the indicated position of “safe”. After you are sure the weapon is on safe you must remove the magazine from the magazine well and lock the bolt to the rear. To accomplish this you must push the magazine release button located on the right side of the magazine well. The magazine should just fall out. Now that the magazine is no longer in the weapon you must now lock the bolt to the rear of the rifle. You will then need to depress the lever on the left side of the charging handle (the T-shaped piece located on the bottom rear of the carrying handle) and pull sharply to the rear. While holding the charging handle all...

...The cell is the basic functional in a human meaning that it is a self-contained and fully operational living entity. Humans are multicellular organisms with various different types of cells that work together to sustain life. Other non-cellular components in the body include water, macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids), micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) and electrolytes. A collection of cells that function together to perform the same activity is known as tissue. Masses of tissue work collectively to form an organ that performs specific functions in the body. Despite this structural organization, all activity boils down to the cell – a complex unit that makes life possible. Parts of the Human Cell The cell contains various structural components to allow it to maintain life which are known as organelles. All the organelles are suspended within a gelatinous matrix, the cytoplasm, which is contained within the cell membrane. One of the few cells in the human body that lacks almost all organelles are the red blood cells. The main components are: * cell membrane * endoplasmic reticulum * Golgi apparatus * lysosomes * mitochondria * nucleus * perioxisomes * microfilaments and microtubules Cell Membrane The cell membrane is the outer coating of the cell and contains the cytoplasm, substances within it and the organelle. It is a double-layered membrane composed of proteins and lipids. The lipid molecules on the outer and inner part (lipid...

...therefore acts as a minus-end-capping protein, as confirmed by electron-microscopic examination of gold-labelled gammaTuRCs. These data support a nucleation model for gammaTuRC function that involves capping of microtubules The organization and dynamics of microtubules (MTs) are essential for different cellular processes such as migration or division. In animal cells, MT nucleation usually occurs at the centrosome, where γ-tubulin plays a key role. This protein is organized in multiprotein complexes (Moritz et al., 1995; Zheng et al., 1995; Raynaud-Messina and Merdes, 2007). In Drosophila melanogaster, two main complexes have been characterized (Oegema et al., 1999). The γ-tubulin small complex (γ-TuSC) is composed of γ-tubulin and two other proteins, Dgrip84 and -91. The γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC) is formed of γ-TuSCs associated with additional grip motif polypeptides, Dgrip75, -128, and -163, and a WD motif protein, Dgp71WD. Components of the γ-TuSC are highly conserved in eukaryotes. Deletion of any γ-TuSC subunit is lethal both in fungi and in Drosophila. This loss of function results in the accumulation of cells in mitosis, which is associated with defects such as monopolar spindles, impairment in centrosome maturation, and...
