What is a Eukaryotic cell, what does it do, and what are its fuctions?
Eukaryote cells include a variety of membrane-bound structures, collectively referred to as the endomembrane system. Simple compartments, called vesicles or vacuoles, can form by budding off other membranes.


-
All living cells have a plasma membrane that encloses their contents. In prokaryotes, the membrane is the inner layer of protection surrounded by a rigid cell wall. Eukaryotic animal cells have only the membrane to contain and protect their contents. These membranes also regulate the passage of molecules in and out of the cells.


-
The plasma membrane, which lines the cell wall, provides the final filter between the cell interior and the environment. Eukaryotic animal cells are generally thought to have descended from prokaryotes that lost their cell walls.


-
In prokaryotes and plants, the plasma membrane is an inner layer of protection since a rigid cell wall forms the outside boundary for their cells. The cell wall has pores that allow materials to enter and leave the cell, but they are not very selective about what passes through.


An Introduction to Molecular Biology/Macromolecules and Cells
All animals consist of eukaryotic cells. Animal cells are distinct from those of other eukaryotes, most notably plants, as they lack cell walls and chloroplasts and have smaller vacuoles. Due to the lack of a cell wall, animal cells can adopt a variety of shapes. A phagocytic cell can even engulf other structures.


Eukaryote
Cell wall. The cells of plants, fungi, and most chromalveolates have a cell wall, a layer outside the cell membrane, providing the cell with structural support, protection, and a filtering mechanism. The cell wall also prevents over-expansion when water enters the cell.


Cervical ectropion
Cervical ectropion. Not to be confused with Ectropion. Cervical ectropion (or cervical eversion) is a condition in which the central (endocervical) columnar epithelium protrudes out through the external os of the cervix and onto the vaginal portion of the cervix, undergoes squamous metaplasia, and transforms to stratified squamous epithelium.


-
Cervical erosion: This is a normal condition that occurs when the squamous epithelial cells grow out of the cervix & form an inflamed red area that looks eroded & infected. Some causes are trauma to the cervix such as iud or sex, or infections. ...Read more.


Cervical Erosion â Symptoms, Treatment, Causes
Most women do not have symptoms of cervical erosion. As discussed, cervical erosion is not an abnormality, but is sometimes associated with the following symptoms: Excessive, non-purulent discharge from the vagina because of exposure of mucus secreting glands located in the columnar epithelium.


-
While there are generally no symptoms associated with cervical erosion, some women may experience abnormal bleeding that is not part of menstruation; bleeding after sexual intercourse; bleeding between periods; or a clear or yellowish vaginal discharge that has no odor unless a vaginal infection is also present.


Cervical erosion
This section discusses 9 medical conditions causing Cervical erosion. A simple discussion of these causes with additional information is below. The following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of Cervical erosion. There are likely to be other possible causes, so ask your doctor about your symptoms. 1  Chlamydia. 2  Herpes simplex virus. 3  Pelvic inflammatory disease.  Cervical 1  ectropion. Gonorrhea.  Cervical 1  ectopy. Cervical cancer.  Allergic 1  reaction.  Trauma.


Cervical Erosion â Symptoms, Treatment, Causes
What is Cervical Erosion? Cervical Erosion or medically known as cervical ectropion (ectropy) is a condition wherein the endocervix protrudes out through the external os. The outer portion of the cervix is lined by simple squamous epithelium, whereas the inner part is lined with columnar epithelium.


What is Eroded Cervix ?
If you've been diagnosed with eroded cervix then you may feel a little worried, it certainly sounds like a very unpleasant condition. But in this case the name sounds far more scary than the condition itself usually is. You needn't worry that your cervix is gradually wearing away, that isn't the case at all.


-
See an OB/GYN: That depends upon the cause of the erosion, and the best person to determine future course of therapy is the doctor who examined you. This cannot be determined over the internet and mandates an extensive knowledge of your history, exam findings and labs. Good luck. ...Read more.


What is Eroded Cervix ?
What happens in eroded cervix is that cells from the cervical canal start to grow at the neck of the cervix giving it a rough, inflamed appearance and making it prone to bleeding. Growing of cells in the wrong place in itself sets alarm bells ringing, but don't worry, cervical erosion is not cancerous.


-
Women's Health. Cervical erosion (or ectropion) is a normal condition that occurs when the squamous epithelial cells grow out of the cervix and form an inflamed area that looks eroded and infected. This condition sounds scarier than it actually is. Despite its name, your cervix is not actually eroding.

Heartburn
Symptoms of heartburn usually consist of a sensation of burning or discomfort after eating, located in the middle of the lower chest underneath the sternum (breastbone). The discomfort may increase when bending over or lying flat on the back.


Heartburn
The cause of heartburn is excessive flow of gastric contents back into the esophagus. Normally, there is an occasional backflow into the esophagus with no symptoms. The acidic gastric contents, when present in large amounts, irritate the esophagus (usually the lower part) and cause the symptoms of heartburn.


Heartburn or heart attack?
Nothing, actually! Despite its name, heartburn â or acid indigestion â is related to your esophagus. But because the esophagus and heart are located near each other, either one can cause chest pain which is why many people mistake heart burn for angina and vice versa.


Heartburn
Heartburn is a disease that occurs when gastric contents flow backward from the stomach into the esophagus. It is also termed reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or pyrosis. Heartburn may or may not be associated with mucosal injury; that disease, termed esophagitis, is addressed in a separate article.


Heartburn or heart attack?
However, everyone is different, and not all symptoms are caused by one or the other, so: When in doubt, check it out! If youâre not sure if itâs heartburn or your heart, seek medical attention right away. Itâs very easy to confuse the two issues so let a doctor rule out the most severe possibility. This is an especially important message for women.

What Causes Red Lightning?
Lightning is produced when electrical fields build up in the clouds as liquid and ice particles collide. These electrical fields become larger and a spark occurs. This spark can occur between clouds, between clouds and air or between clouds and the ground. Lightning between clouds and the ground generally occurs in the darkest clouds. The darkest clouds are known as the updraft region. A sprite occurs in the middle of the atmosphere. It is mostly red but there is a blue tinge in the bottom tendrils. Sprites occur very briefly and are barely visible to the human eye.


Weather Library > Lightning FAQ: What color is lightning?
Electrical arcing, whether caused by lightning, ice or wind damage, is very intense, can be as bright as lightning, can illuminate the entire sky and can change color from blue, green, turquoise, red and orange. When lightning strikes an energized power line, an electrical flashover arc can result.


Example: Ball Lightning from Terrestrial Lightning
Many scientists do not believe in this form of lightning because there is no physics theory that can satisfactorily explain it. Obviously, the Ball-of-Light Particle Model does explain ball lightning. Ball lightning are balls-of-light. Ball lightning can be created when two strokes of lightning collide. Typically one stroke travels from cloud to ground and the other stroke travels from ground to cloud. When they meet, if polarized correctly, some of the energy can wrap around itself in a semi-harmonic pattern.


-
If you hear the sound of thunder, then you are in danger from lightning. Lightning kills and injures more people each year than hurricanes or tornadoes; between 75 to 100 people. IF YOUâRE INDOORS: Avoid water. Itâs a great conductor of electricity, so do not take a shower, wash your hands, wash dishes or do laundry.


Bolts From the Blue: The Electric Colors of Lightning
The same lightning channel can appear blue, purple, red or orange depending on the type of film, length of exposure, and other factors. Slide film is more likely to produce a more purple/blue image, while print film tends to give lightning a more yellow/orange tint.


Example: Ball Lightning from Terrestrial Lightning
Colors of Ball Lightning. Ball lightning is observed to have different colors. Sometimes the light given off appears: red, white, yellow, or orange. The harmonics on the surface of the ball determine the wavelengths of the light that is given off.


-
Lightning can originate within a thunderstorm cloud and from the cloud to the ground. Intra-cloud lightning is basically a large spark of electricity that occurs between the positive and negative charges in the cloud with the air working as an insulator.


Weather Library > Lightning FAQ: What color is lightning?
When lightning strikes an object or the ground, the lightning channel is often a deep red or orange color for its last ten feet or so above the ground or the target object. Lightning striking a tree will appear a bright, fiery orange/red color for the length of the channel traveling down the tree. Lightning photographs: The hue of lightning channels in photographs is usually a function of the type of film, camera, exposure, white balance and/or recording media used.


Welcome to Weather Wiz KidsÂ®!
The positive charges or protons form at the top of the cloud and the negative charges or electrons form at the bottom of the cloud. Since opposites attract, that causes a positive charge to build up on the ground beneath the cloud. The grounds electrical charge concentrates around anything that sticks up, such as mountains, people, or single trees.


Bolts From the Blue: The Electric Colors of Lightning
Red, yellow, green, blue, pink, purple, violet, cyan, and orange are all possible lightning colors, depending upon the presence of water vapor, dust, pollution, rain, or hail. Just as lightning is said never to strike twice in the same place, no two lightning bolts are ever exactly the same color. In fact, different branches of the same bolt can exhibit different colors, due to temperature variations.

Two tubular nostrils are situated on the upper bill, a unique feature of the Procellariiformes, a group of birds which includes the shearwaters, albatrosses and petrels . Infrequently heard in flight, the sooty shearwater is a noisy bird when ashore; its most common calls are a der-rer-ah or coo-roo-ah .


Newell's Shearwater
All shearwaters, like the Pink-footed, nest in burrows, which they visit only at night to care for their eggs and young. The birds forage over the open ocean, diving to depths of over 150 feet in pursuit of schooling fish and squid.


Manx Shearwater Bird
All the Shearwaters are long travelers. Manx Shearwaters migrate over 10,000 kilometres to South America in the winter. This long journey means this bird has covered a minimum of 1,000,000 kilometres on migration alone (not counting day-to-day fishing trips). One particular shearwater was âringedâ in 1957 and breeding on Bardsey Island off Wales.


Shearwaters
Shearwaters are well-known wanderers of the sea. About 10 species can usually be seen along the NSW coast, diving into the water or skimming across its surface. They can be recognised by tube-like nostrils at the base of their beaks. In most species, the top of the wings, back and head are dark brown in colour.

The chick hatches around the middle of January , and is then fed by both parents, who spend their days foraging at sea, returning at night to feed their chick.


-
Sooty shearwaters arrive at their breeding colonies at the end of September or very early October, with egg laying, at least in New Zealand, taking place between mid-November and early December . Burrows, measuring up to three metres long, are dug into the ground, under tussock grass, low scrub, or Olearia forest .


Newell's Shearwater
Collisions with power lines kill many shearwaters traveling to and from their nest burrows. Young birds heading to sea for the first time are often attracted by the artificial lighting of playing fields, hotels, resorts, and streets.


Shearwaters
Shearwaters earned their name by their ability to cut - or shear - the water with their wings, although until recently they were known as 'muttonbirds'. This name was given to them by early European settlers, who killed the birds for food and found that their flesh tasted like mutton.

White matter is a component of the central nervous system, in the brain and superficial spinal cord, and consists mostly of glial cells and myelinated axons that transmit signals from one region of the cerebrum to another and between the cerebrum and lower brain centers.


-
Cellular Properties of Gray Matter. Gray matter is primarily composed of neuronal cell bodies, which are all clustered together into specific locations in the brain and spinal cord. All of the gray matter in your outer brain forms the cerebral cortex, which performs almost all of your conscious thoughts.


Overview
The cerebrum has billions of neurons and glia that form the cerebral cortex, its outermost layer. This is what is commonly known as gray matter. Connection fibers between neurons beneath the surface of the brain are called white matter. The cerebellum, or hindbrain, handles fine motor movements, balance, and posture.


White matter
White matter, long thought to be passive tissue, actively affects how the brain learns and functions. While grey matter is primarily associated with processing and cognition, white matter modulates the distribution of action potentials, acting as a relay and coordinating communication between different brain regions.


-
White matter is composed of bundles of myelinated nerve cell projections (or axons), which connect various grey matter areas (the locations of nerve cell bodies) of the brain to each other, and carry nerve impulses between neurons. Myelin acts as an insulator, increasing the speed of transmission of all nerve signals.


-
White matter is primarily composed of the axons that are connected to neuronal cell bodies. It gets its white color because most of these axons are coated in a sheath called myelin. Myelin helps to speed nerve conduction, so that messages can travel faster through your brain.


-
Therefore, an injury to the brain that does not penetrate very far is more likely to injure gray matter than white matter. This arrangement is reversed in the spinal cord; gray matter makes up the center of the spinal cord, while white matter makes up the outer portion.


Chapter 14-15
Scientists and doctors find two major types of tissue when they examine samples from the brain and the spinal cord--white matter and gray matter. These two tissue types are located in different areas of the central nervous system, contain different types of cells and perform different functions.


Overview
Lobes. The frontal lobe is the largest part of the brain, located in the front of the head. It helps to form reasoning, emotions, and movement. The parietal lobe is the middle part of the brain. It helps us to understand our place in relation to other people and things. It also helps us to interpret touch and pain. The occipital lobe is the back of the brain and helps us process visual information. The temporal lobes are located on each side of the brain.


White matter
White matter tissue of the freshly cut brain appears pinkish white to the naked eye because myelin is composed largely of lipid tissue veined with capillaries. Its white color in prepared specimens is due to its usual preservation in formaldehyde.

A recent BRIE purchase in West Palm Beach, FL smelled more like Limburger than any Brie I have ever purchased. I tolerated the odor because I also like Limburger but purchase Brie because it normally does not offend my wife nor stink up the refrig. Please comment. Hi Maurice, not sure what you are asking that the article doesnât describe. â RG


Why Are Some Cheeses Stinky?
So why do some cheeses stink and some have hardly any smell at all? The answer lies mainly in the starter culture used to make the cheese. The bacteria that make up the starter culture helps determine a cheese's taste, texture, and smell. For example, some bacteria give cheese a mushroom flavor and a particularly-stinky odor. Examples of such cheeses include Brie and Camembert.


Stinky Brie Cheese
Why Does My Brie Cheese Smell Like Ammonia? I received a comment from Angie who read my post, Moldy Brie Cheese asking about some brie she purchased that looked lovely, but had an overwhelming ammonia smell. I sent her question to my favorite cheesemonger, Jack Morgan, who gave a great reply.


Why Are Some Cheeses Stinky?
Perhaps the most famous stinky cheese ever, though, is Limburger. Its stinky reputation is well-documented in many Saturday-morning cartoons, as well as old television classics like The Three Stooges and The Little Rascals. Some believe Limburger cheese smells like feet, which might make sense. The bacterium used to create Limburger cheese is Brevibacterium linens, which is the same bacteria responsible for human body odor!

Well if she lets the smell put her off how about trying some Limburger cheese? A kiwi friend of mine used make sandwiches with it and bring them to the office. I remember the inmates of a German prison striking over their Camembert not being ripe.

Limburger: The Cheese That Nose No Equal
Limburger: The Cheese That Nose No Equal By severson on August 5, 2016 in Cheese Nation Notorious for its smell, Limburgerâs bark is actually a lot worse than its bite. When you know how to eat it, Limburger cheese is remarkably smooth. âLimburgerâDonât Eat It with Your Nose.â So reads the sign above the bar at Baumgartnerâs Cheese Store and Tavern in Monroe, Wisconsin: the only city in America where Limburger cheese is still made. Limburger has been the butt of jokes for nearly a century, though to be honest, it smells more like feet.


Stinky Brie Cheese
Ammonia Smell. A by product of all bloomy rind cheeses is âammoniaâ smell. This some-what offensive aroma results when the cultures used to make the cheese consume and convert the proteins in the curd into ammonia. Refrigeration traps this aroma in the cheese not allowing it to evaporate away.


Limburger: The Cheese That Nose No Equal
When the cheese is only a few weeks old, itâs mild and crumblyâa bit like fetaâwith a bit of a yeasty smell. Like all washed-rind cheeses, Limburger ripens from the outside inâ¦and since the rind contains most of the funk, cut it off before serving.

News. One of the major pet peeves Uber users have is they cannot book a ride in advance. Unlike other cab aggregators like Ola and Meru that allow you to pre-book a cab at a specific time and place, Uber only lets you look for a cab at the moment you want to travel.


What is Uber?
You don't need to book an Uber cab in advance, just request one when you are ready to leave. This is in compliance with the private hire legislation, but removes the key competitive advantage of licensed taxi drivers. So you can see why they are angry.ut it is certainly true to say that Uber is a brilliant idea, and if you use the app to flag a cab, you will get one. And you won't have to pay cash. Which is pretty much all that matters, on most cab-requiring occasions.


How does Uber work?
Donât pay in cash. All fare payments are handled automatically by the Uber service and your credit card on file. If using the TAXI service, you can select the amount to be tipped through your Uber Payment Settings-the default is 20%.You do not need to tip the other Uber services, including UberX, but tips are appreciated. The Uber app will provide you with the phone number of your driver. 2  You can use this contact the driver if you have any special considerations. 3  If you need to cancel your reservation, you will be charged a $5-$10 fee if you cancel after five minutes.


Why doesn't Uber allow customers to schedule rides in advance?
Yes you can! Although Uber itself does not offer the functionality, you can use TimeTravel. TimeTravel-Prebook rides for Uber on the App Store. I've tried the app myself and it seems to make booking requests through the Uber API at the appropriate time.ber is currently an exclusive on-demand car service.

My Issue With Uberâs API. - I blog about it in detail, but at its core, developers who build on top of Uber's API should be motivated/incentivized by 2 things: Currently only the initial download is rewarded, and that too, it amounts to $5, which is a paltry sum compared to the Lifetime value of an Uber user.ber is currently an exclusive on-demand car service.

Speed Awareness Courses
When you get in the car, you can actually watch your phone to see your cab moving down the road on the app. Once I arrived at my destination, I didnât have to do anything but thank my driver. Both times I used Uber for a ride, each driver got out to open the door for me.his review is based on that experience. I have not taken Uber since then because I haven't needed to, so any updates or changes to both the app and service itself that took place since I used Uber in 2012 may not be reflected in this review.

The combination of planting too deeply and seeding in cold soil are probably the major causes of poor seed germination and these two factors alone, if corrected, will solve most germination problems. Improper soil preparation can be another major cause of seeds germinating improperly. The use of fresh, hot manures like chicken, rabbit or hog can create so much heat in the soil that they actually burn the seed. I've found it a good practice to use fresh manures in the fall rather than in the spring.

Hardiness and Heat Tolerance: Understanding Planting Zones
Zone 1 is the coldest and is subject to frost year-round while Zone 11 is the warmest and completely frost-free. If a plant is âHardy to Zone 7,â that means it should survive the winter in zones 7 and warmer. Once you know the hardiness zone you live in, you can choose plants that will survive the winter in your area.


How to Propagate Lady Banks Rose
Fill a 6-inch pot with a mixture of equal parts coir or peat moss, perlite and potting soil.
