Abstract

Plasmodium falciparum is the parasite responsible for the deadly disease, malaria. The parasite is transmitted through the injection of sporozoites into the human blood stream. These sporozoites are transported in the blood stream to the liver. The sporozoites invade the hepatocytes and differentiate into merozoites. The merozoites invade the RBCs of the host; starting the blood stage of infection. The trophozoite stage ingests and degrades approximately 80% of the hemoglobin in the host cell. The hemoglobin is broken down into peptides due to enzymatic action by a metalloprotease and cysteine and aspartic proteases. Haematin is first released as a byproduct of ...

Describe the Hemoglobin Digestive Process

P. falciparum, is the parasite responsible for the malaria, a disease that causes approximately one million deaths annually. It undergoes the process of erythrocytic schizogony which is responsible for the clinical manifestations of malaria. The trophozoite ingests and degrades approximately 80% of the hemoglobin in the host cell (Brayl 2005). As the trophozoite continues to develop, its endolysosomal system takes up the cytoplasm of the host cell using cytosomes which contains host hemoglobin. Cytosomes are formed by an invagination formed from the PVM (parasitophorous vacuolar membrane) and PPM (parasite plasma membrane) from which transport vesicles are pinched off. These vesicles ...

 Why professional bicyclists have recently been descending hills at greater speeds.

Pedaling is a compound sport, which involves competitors, who must compete with a diversity of approaches, numerous environmental factors, and roughness on the ground. The operation on high grounds is an essential ascertaining victory factor in the leading international cycling tournaments. The main forces that a bicyclist must prevail over are; the gravity and air resistance. Air resistance rises exponentially with momentum. When pedaling from a smooth road to an ascending hill, the reduced speed lessens the air resistance to a level where leading other riders offers little benefit. Smaller bicyclists, who prefer to have a higher authority to ...

However, in contrast we rarely get to see the results of corporate welfare, provided through government subsidies, or how the use of those funds are abused.

Throwing garbage in the yellow trash can instead of the black one is not admirable, but it may encourage people to think about their consumption and what sustainability means. It is one tool, and the last line of defense in a more comprehensive strategy to reduce waste. Recycling is not difficult, requires no sacrifice, and is much easier than changing lifestyle. It is much easier to recycle plastic bottles than it is to organize and participate in car-pooling. Trading in the SUV for a much smaller fuel efficient car could help, but many Americans identity is intertwined with the car or ...
