What does EOS percent mean in blood work?
The EOS percent is the percent of white blood cells in the blood. The eosinophil count is used when testing for Allergies.
What is the purpose of a cells cytoskeleton?
-maintains cell shape -protects the cell -enables cellular motion -plays important role in intracellular transport -important in cell division
Why is it important to do endotoxin and hybridoma testing in animal cell culture products like DMSO and media?
In animal cell culture, the requirements for the cell are only those that are beneficial to the cell and which do not cause any harm to the normal physiological activities of the cell. Endotoxins can hamper normal activities of cell and can even lead to cell death. Hybridomas can out-compete the cultured cells for nutrients. Thus, both reduce the activity of the cultured cells. This is why is it important to do testing of cell culture products so that there is no addition of such substances detrimental to the cell.
Why is the mitochondria important to the animal cell?
The mitochondria is important to animal cells because it is the powerhouse of the cell. It produces energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. It also plays a role in regulating cell metabolism and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Which substance plays an important role in both the exoskeleton of crabs and the cell walls of fungi?
Chitin is the substance that plays an important role in both the exoskeleton of crabs and the cell walls of fungi. It is a tough, flexible polysaccharide that provides structural support and protection in both organisms.
Is there cholesterol in the membrane?
Yes - cell membranes have cholesterol scattered throughout them. Cholesterol plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane, and may also participate in cell signalling.
Which organelle plays an important role in destoying the worn out material of the cell?
The lysosome. Lysosomes break down food particles and worn out cell parts. They are basically the cell's cleanup crew.
Why is cholesterol present in the cell membrane?
Cholesterol is present in the cell membrane to help maintain its structure and stability. It also plays a role in regulating the fluidity of the membrane, which is important for the proper functioning of the cell.
What is the antibody-producing cell that plays an important role in protecting us from infection?
plasma cells, lymphocytes and monocytes
Why is retrograde transport important?
Retrograde transport is important for recycling cell surface receptors, transferring nutrients, and maintaining cellular homeostasis by allowing the cell to retrieve key molecules from the cell periphery and deliver them back to the cell body. It also plays a crucial role in regulating signaling pathways and organelle function within the cell.
Why is the cell membrane of a plant cell important?
The cell membrane of a plant cell is important because it acts as a barrier that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. It helps maintain the cell's internal environment, regulate cell communication, and provide structural support to the cell. Additionally, the cell membrane plays a role in cellular recognition and interactions with neighboring cells.
What is the sequence of events for the approval of a medicine for human use?
laboratory testing (chemical or cell), animal testing, testing on healthy humans, clinical trials
