and LA Lakers both have the same potential for superior logo quality, but because of color selection, the LA Lakers hold more graphic quality in regards to their respective logos than does Lasko fans... (Cohen “Evolution of NBA Team Logos”,). Gradients, contrast and color are the three most basic techniques used in graphic art, and can define a work as either superior, or amateur. All three of these concepts work together to create the concept of “visual identity”. Visual identity is a term coined

small particles? The direction of movement of particles in passive transport is determined by the concentration gradient (diffusion) between the cytoplasm and the extracellular fluid. 2. Why do the molecules in facilitated diffusion need help moving across the plasma membrane? Likely, the molecules are too large to pass unaided through the plasma membrane with the concentration gradient; they need to pass through special transport proteins. 3. Does facilitated diffusion require the cell to

difference, the lipid bilayer of the membrane must be impermeable to charged ions. Because of the charge imbalance, or electrical gradient, ions naturally want to diffuse through the membrane; the plasma membrane must be able to prevent this. This is important when it comes to potassium (K+) ions. There tends to be a large difference in the concentration, or chemical gradient, of K+ between the inside and outside of the cell. Because there is a higher concentration of K+ inside the cell, the potassium

cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. The final two stages listed occur in the mitochondria. Part II 2. What are the consequences of a proton gradient and how could a gradient be used in the mitochondrion? List all the possibilities that come to mind. Protons have a strong

Intro When first learning about cells, students are told the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. While this is true, most of the energy made actually comes from the electron transport chain that occurs on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. A series of proteins are active in the electron transport chain, but the fourth one, cytochrome c oxidase, is the one that is important for our purposes. Cytochrome c oxidase is a large integral protein, that is made up of several subunits, some

inequalities using health indicators in extracted data using U.S. dimensions (Harper, & Lynch, 2006). Because of unweighted measures of health and their barriers, only weighted indicated levels were used, as well as socioeconomic dimension, showing health gradients with social group categories. Household incomes and years of educational attainment were evaluated as to report the differences in indicator levels, except infant mortality and self-reported health status, as information was

two social determinates (social gradient and early life) on the incidence of diabetes. These social determinates, along with several others, have been identified in a report on diabetic risk factors the causal pathways (Wilkinson and Marmot, 2003). This report will also discuss the contributing factors to diabetes such as nutrition, obesity and other lifestyle factors including convenience and high-density housing Obesity, high-density housing and social gradient Obesity is one of the major contributing

Spectrophotometrically Identifying Alfalfa Sprouts’ Chloroplasts and Lysosomes Isolated in a Sucrose Gradient Introduction: Conceptualizing an organism with a biological lens involves understanding the organism’s components and how their individual functions characterize the overarching entity. For a body, this means understanding organs and tissues. For a cell, this means classifying its organelles and discerning their functions. Analysis of subcellular components has become a major focus in biochemical

relation to diffusion rate, we expect smaller particles to farther along the agar because the size of a particle and rate at which it diffuses correlates negatively. In the osmosis and dialysis experiment, water should move down its concentration gradient. The sucrose dialysis bag is hypertonic compared the DI water, so it will gain volume; and, the dialysis bag containing DI water is hypotonic compared to the sucrose solution of the beaker, so the bag will lose volume. Lastly, because Iodine

In the video Unnatural Causes, there is an evident social determinant of wealth that creates a wealth-health gradient.  It is important to distinguish the idea of a gradient from the perspective of only looking at the interaction of health with wealth at a dichotomous scale. Instead, in a gradient, there are gradual continuous changes in health outcomes as wealth is changed. The cases of the individuals presented in the video exemplify the gradation relationship between wealth and health. In the
