Our results indicate that eel sperm flagella, which at rest are straight, are induced to bend helicoidally by ATP, as the result of sliding between tubules that is blocked at both the base and tip of the organelle. The flagellar waveform consists of a series of planar bends separated by ...

As shown in Figure 5, the typical structure of a cell in tendrils consists of a cell wall tube containing an array of cellulose fibril helices. At the fully swelled state, the cell wall tube would have a larger cross section and a relatively smaller helical angle. As the tendril gradually...
Thesoil food webconsists of the community of organisms that live all or part of their lives in the pedosphere and mediate the transfer of nutrients among the living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components of the pedosphere through a series of conversions of energy and nutrients as one or...
Although it was initially believed that flagella are involved in bacterial pathogenicity solely by conferring motility, it has now become evident that this organelle can play a role in every step of the infection cycle (3). The typical bacterial flagellum consists of six components—a basal body...
I’m going for more of a Pasta Physique down from the current Whipped Mashed Potatoes look I’ve come to carry around. I’m quite fluffy. Anyway… The weight room calls. Leg day consists of: Leg extensions Leg curls Leg lifts Legs burning Legs falling off Leaving legs in the weight roo...
cell- (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms; they may exist as independent units of life (as in monads) or may form colonies or tissues as in higher plants and animals choanocyte,collar cell- any of the flagellated cells in sponges having a collar of cytoplasm...
1. cytoplasm: the dynamic, mobile factory Most of the properties we associate with life are properties of the cytoplasm. Much of the mass of a cell consists of this semifluid substance, which is bounded on the outside by the plasma membrane. 细胞质:动态的、可移动工厂 我们(想到)与生命相关...
The Bp TRANSITome consists of ~30% of genes annotated as hypothetical or putative, having no assigned function (Supplementary Fig. 1b). We endeavored to investigate these genes and hypothesized that many of the hypothetical genes expressed in the TRANSITome contribute to Bp intracellular infection...
General features of the genome Genome analysis. The genome of H. pylori strain 26695 consists of a circular chromosome with a size of 1,667,867 base pairs (bp) and average G þ C content of 39% (Figs 1 and 2). Five regions within the genome have a significantly different G þ C...
