Hello! Don’t know if anyone even still checks this site, but this article was really interesting! Among other things, it looks at breathing from a chemists point-of-view and considers the electron transfer. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/suffocating-cells-science/
For anyone interested…. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1LCxG8LxtUjNF9vSkptRGpsTDg/edit?usp=sharing Let me know if the link works! OR, conversely, if it doesn’t so that I may try and fix it. Happy summer to all!

I was just hearing on NPR the other day that some marine bio researchers have discovered that octopuses actually secrete a chemical on their skin that acts as a repellent to their own suction cups on their arms. Without this … Continue reading
In cellular physiology, one of the topics we studied was cell junctions between epithelial cells. One type of cellular junction that exists in these epithelial cells is called anchoring junctions. These junctions connect these cells to other cells and/or cells … Continue reading
