diabetes and various other diseases. Grown up in a family of medical professionals, the curiosity to explore various life processes was not only acquired but also inherent. I want to take a leap forward of what my parents and grandparents practice and ‘Cell and Molecular Physiology’ or ‘Immunology’ as major will surely make me accomplish in achieving my aim of life. As a small child, I had seen the agony of patients and limitations of medical profession in dealing with various illnesses. I had innumerable

A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Almost everyone has been affected by genetic diseases, the most notorious being Down Syndrome. As a kid i didn’t know what Down Syndrome was or how it occurred. I saw kids with Down Syndrome as different and believed that they somehow caught it like the common cold. As I grew older I realized the harsh reality that those kids did nothing wrong. It was

1. Describe 4 properties of water that make it life sustaining? Do not give just a list. Describe why each property helps sustain life. • The lower density of ice it can form the ice crystal by the hydrogen bonds at cooler temperature. • Water’s high polarity ions and other polar molecules are attracted to the high level of polarity in water. What make water very good solvent is its ability to form hydrogen bonds. • High heat capacity the amount of energy that take to rise temperature from 1g of

Review: Biodegradable Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery Introduction With the many innovations in the disciplines of nanotechnology and drug delivery their merger is a very advantages strategy transport of small molecular weight drugs and macromolecules for localized or targeted delivery to the tissue of interest [1]. Nanotechnology will provided an outlet for conveying therapeutic agents in biocompatible nanocomposites such as nanoparticles, nanocapsules, micellar systems, and conjugates. With

By living in a broken world, people become subjected to devastation and times of hopelessness. Some encounter this through job struggles or family disputes. Others encounter it while waiting at death’s door, waiting for an organ transplant. On January 8, 2014, 120,990 people were waiting for an organ transplant, wondering if they will be added to the 3,381 people who died last year waiting for a new kidney or wondering if they will become one of the 26,000 people in the United States who die each

Cheek cells viewed with IKI indicator under the following power of magnifications: See attached page for actual sketches 1. Scanning Low Power 2. Scanning High Power Questions NOTE: Answer Question A only if you used a compound light microscope for this experiment. A. Did altering the amount of light help in viewing the unstained cheek cells? Explain. When viewing the unstained cheek cells, the amount of light did not have an effect on viewing the slide; meaning that the cells were not

organisms. A. Responsiveness – organisms respond to changes in their immediate environment (long term changes is adaptability) B. Growth – over a lifetime, organisms grow larger through an increase in size or number of cells. Differentiation is when cells have specialized functions C. Reproduction – Organisms reproduce, creating subsequent generations of similar organisms D. Movement – Organisms are capable of movement a. Internal – moving food, blood, or other materials

Two Mad Scientists Trying to Play God By Bonique Obermuller ENG 4UO Terry Pratchett once said, “God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players.” In the novels Frankenstein by Mary Shelly and The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells the characters Victor Frankenstein and Dr. Moreau are scientists who take their experiments too far. Both Victor and Moreau are very smart

Biotechnology and genetic engineering involve the cloning of animal cells and organisms, but they also involve the alteration of an organism in an effort to make it more perfect, whether it is a crop, an animal, or even a human being. Obviously the cloning of humans or the cloning of human cells is much different than the cloning of genetically superior livestock or a better quality, higher yielding food crop, and people throughout the world realize this. The cloning of human beings has become one

In Respect for Nature, Paul Taylor develops the following four elements of the biocentric outlook on nature: 1. Humans are members of the Earth's community of life in the same sense and on the same terms as other living things. 2. The natural world is an interdependent system. 3. Each organism is a Teleological Center of Life (TCL) with a good of its own. 4. Humans are not inherently superior to other living things. Taylor believes that if one concedes and accepts the first three components
