An allergic reaction is simply the human body’s way of trying to fight off a foreign invader it perceives to be dangerous. It is a response of the body’s immune system, and although not all aspects of how exactly an allergic reaction functions are understood, the basic function is ...
Faradaic current: electrical current generated by the transfer of charges as a result of redox reactions. What happens during a redox reaction? In an electrochemical cell, when the potential (voltage) reaches the point where an oxidation or reduction is induced, current starts to flow. The point...
Why is the inflammation response important? How best to treat chronic inflammation? Explain how hypersensitivity is an example of a compromised T-cell response. What is the purpose of acid workup in the Grignard reaction? When performing immunocytochemistry experiments, what is the purpose of t...
Cell Potential: The reduction cell potential of a cell reaction is calculated by using the Nernst equation . For this the standard reduction potential of the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent and their concentration are required....
What Is a Naïve Cell? Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that carry out effector functions against foreign particles that could cause an infection. They play an integral role in human adaptive immunity due to their antigen-specificity. ...

When a pimple comes to a head, I take two cotton swabs and apply pressure to two sides of it until all the pus comes out. That is followed by a clear liquid, and then blood. Once the blood surfaces, I have to blot the area with a tissue until it stops oozing. When the blood ha...
A load cell is a transducer that is used to convert a force or load into an electrical signal. It is commonly used in various industries and applications to measure force, weight, or pressure. Load cells are typically made up of a sensing element or strain gauge, which deforms when a fo...
Oxidation-reduction reactions are tremendously important in allowing a cell to generate energy and access energy. A molecule that gains electrons as a result of an oxidation reduction reaction is said to be? A) Oxidized. B) Reduced. C) Negatively char...
What is a dehydration reaction in biology? Making and Breaking Molecules: Although we might see models of cells and think they are static, they are actually moving machines that constantly are remodeling in order to do their job in the body. Enzymes carry out cell functions, one of which is...
