This week, I started my Cell and Molecular Biology class. In spite of feeling nervous on how difficult this class might be, I am still excited to learn so much about the cell, moreover, our wonderful bodies God created for us.
Some of these terms that we went over in class this past week were either unfamiliar or interesting:
1. Cell fractionation:
This term is used in the study of cells. It is the isolation of the different components of cell by mechanical means, having high dependence on the size of the particle and the viscosity of the medium.
2. Birefringence:
This term refers in the ability to rotate plane of polarized light; found in polarizing microscopes.
3. Immunohistochemistry:
This is not a field of study but also a process used to detect proteins in tissues by antigens binding to each other. In let weak terms, it means antibodies and tissue.
