nanoT - VaryCell TM Micro stage for time lapse imaging and temperature mediated cellular studies. Cells derived from mammals have an optimum in vitro growth rate between 36°C to 37°C as their in vivo physiological temperature ranges between 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F) in a normal individual. Homeostasis process maintains the constancy of the organism’s internal environment in response to changes in external conditions. Thermoregulation is part of the aforementioned process as controlled by the

Lab Safety against Pathogenic Bacteria Considering that there are still a lot of unknown bacteria, it is really important that in lab when handling bacteria extreme precaution is taken towards handling them and to treat them as pathogenic. Today it is an acknowledged fact that anyone in the laboratory whether they are researchers, scientist, or students must follow all guidelines and safety rules for their safety. Every laboratory has its own lab safety equipment and guidelines such as dress code

Task 11 A. Identify at least five environments in which you are likely to find microbial life. Microorganisms are everywhere: in the air, soil, water, rocks, plants and animals and humans. Some thrive in intense heat, while others require extreme subzero temperatures. B. Describe five vital functions microbes serve. They produce oxygen by oxygenic photosynthesis which occurs in algae and cyanobacteria; also through decomposition they release mineral nutrients such as potassium and nitrogen from

Have you ever wondered that animal testing has contributed to many medical breakthroughs in our lifetime? For my 1st claim I would like to address that us U.S citizens and people around the globe should consider animal testing because it has contributed to many life-saving cures and treatments for the people in need. According to an article on ProCon.org, this article states that “nearly every medical breakthrough in the last 100 years has resulted directly from research using animals”. This evidence

ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to detect the rates of hyphal tip growth and nuclei position of N. crassa in influence of drug medium, Taxol. The results of the experiments show that the rate of hyphal tip growth and nuclei position are much lower in drug medium than in the control. Taxol have different effect on growth of tip and distance travelled by nuclei. Moreover, the rate at which the nuclei displace and growth of the tips are dependent on the medium and not on each other. Thus, the

Using ATP To Contract Glycerinated Muscle Introduction Muscles are a fibrous bundle of tissues that contract to produce movement in the body. There are three different types of muscles, cardiac, skeletal, and smooth. Though these three different types of muscles serve slightly different purposes, they function very similarly. The main components of muscles are muscle fibers, myosin, actin, and a few more. Muscle contractions works primary off of the interaction between the proteins, actin and myosin

animals. Mealworm beetles are part of the Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Arthropoda, Class Insecta, Order Coleoptera, Family Tenebrionidae, Genus Tenebrio, and Species Molitor. During the experiment, 10 mealworms were placed in one side of a two chamber petri dish. The opposite side was covered in a shade cloth to create darkness on one of the two chambers. The mealworms were exposed to the different types of the light in the starting chamber, and mealworms remaining in the starting chamber were counted

What is the function of enzymes in a living system? Enzymes speed up metabolic reactions necessary for life. Without them certain vital processes would not take place and the body would be unable to function. Difference enzymes work better under different conditions. Where in a human body might it be beneficial to have enzymes work in very acidic environments? In areas, like the stomach, that have a pH of two would benefit by having enzymes that function well in acidic environments. An example
