Cell Biology - A Field of Science Explored by Thousands of Students Every Year

Cell Biology - A Field of Science Explored by Thousands of Students Every YearCell Biology is a discipline dealing with the study of living organisms in general and the human body in particular. It is divided into two sub-disciplines: Cellular Biophysics and Molecular Biology.Cell Biology helps us understand what an organism is made of and how cells work in a detailed manner. It is not very clear to many people as to how cell is formed and how it functions. Cells are simply living things.They contain RNA and DNA, which are the molecules that we use to copy the DNA of a cell. Inside each cell, a single nucleus holds the genetic material. The DNA itself has a sequence of nucleotides. The various patterns of these nucleotides help cells replicate and reproduce.There are many different cell types in different parts of the body. These include digestive, respiratory, nervous, etc. There are various causes that can result in the cells to differentiate. There are various types of cells such as stem cells, lymphocytes, fibroblasts, etc.Blood cells are derived from the bone marrow. They are said to be essentially composed of fat cells, serum (a natural fluid that contains fat), myelin (which helps protect the nerves) and red blood cells. These components are essentially composed of collagen and elastin. The myelin contains fats and nutrients that assist the nerves to conduct messages.Cell biology aims at understanding and predicting how cells operate, the number of cells that exist in a certain area, and how cells change. Cell types include epithelial cells, endocrine cells, non-endocrine cells, which are primarily responsible for regulating and governing the hormones of an organism, and skeletal muscle cells, which make up our muscles.Cells are constantly in motion. Cells normally store a good amount of glucose (sugar) in their nuclei. Other forms of sugar stored in the cell can also be used as energy by the cells.When cells need more energy, glucose becomes a cell's en ergy source. However, when cells don't receive sufficient amounts of glucose, they may die. Therefore, cells help us get all the nutrients that we need.

Rise in A-level exam resits expected

Rise in A-level exam resits expected A significant increase in the number of students resitting their A-level exams has been forecast for the coming academic year. There are approximately 60,000 students who face rejection from universities because of an unprecedented amount of competition for places. These students are expected to take a gap year in which they will undertake further study and exam revision in the hope of boosting their grades and being accepted onto a university course. Despite an ongoing media debate about whether students should be allowed to keep resitting their A-levels, Jerry Jarvis, the managing director of the Edexcel exam board, believes that resits should continue to be allowed. He used the analogy of Mount Everest, pointing out that the growing number of people who managed to conquer the peak did not mean that the mountain had somehow become easier to climb. However, students who want to resit their A-levels under the present syllabus would be well advised to start making tuition arrangements as soon as possible. As of January next year, the current A-level syllabus will be jettisoned in favour of a new system of more open-ended exam questions which are intended to stretch pupils' thinking skills. Most resit students are expected to spend the rest of 2009 undergoing additional study - often with a private tutor - to supplement a one-term A-level booster course that will prepare them for exam retakes in January 2010. If they get the necessary grades, the students can reapply to universities for the September 2010 intake.

English learners in China can get italki and SpeakENG through Alipay

English learners in China can get italki and SpeakENG through Alipay Alipay Learning English is the primary goal of most users on italki, which is natural given that the majority of users are not native speakers of English. Our largest group of users come from China (20% of total users). Weve just started a marketing partnership with Alipay to make it easier for Chinese users to purchase italki credits. Alipay is a payment platform owned by the global e-commerce company Alibaba. Alipay works similarly to Paypal, and is very popular in China. For the month of August, we are offering a 10% bonus to purchases of italki credits over $30 USD through Alipay. Learning English in China Alipay - italki page We hope that by making it easier for Chinese users to pay online, this will lead to more transactions on the italki marketplace. There is certainly an immense demand for learning English in China. Chinese students start learning English at an early age (depends regionally, but average age of 10-13). However, after studying English for five years or more, many students graduate with ???? (mute English). They often have not had any opportunity to use their English, and the vast majority are taught by Chinese teachers with varying levels of proficiency. Given the demand for English, English training centers in China are a huge industry. These centers often are very expensive (10,000 20,000 RMB or ~$1500-$3000 USD). This amount of money also needs to be viewed in an economic context where the average monthly salary is roughly between $200 $600 USD (depends on the city and region). Anecdotally, weve been told that many Chinese find their experiences at these teaching centers to be disappointing. The centers are strong at marketing, but weak at delivering real improvement for students. Students have very limited access to teachers and are stuck listening in large classes. Naturally, we believe that online learning can change this equation radically. italki partners, like Eleutian, can deliver an online product (SpeakENG), direct to students at an incredibly low costs. Students can get Eleutians certified teachers or find independent teachers which they can schedule according to their own time needs. In addition, student tuition doesnt go into supporting building rents in expensive city districts, massive marketing campaigns, or large school administrations. Given the natural benefits of online learning, we think this will become a major alternative to offline learning in the near future.

Social Media + Language Learning = A Match Made in Heaven

Social Media + Language Learning = A Match Made in Heaven How many hours a day do you spend on your cell phone, tablet or computer?Come on, you can tell the truth. We’re all friends here.Think about it. Take a minute if you need to.Consider blogs. Facebook. Gaming. News. Netflix.Okay, you dont have to say the number out loud, but you’ve likely come to the conclusion that you’re like most of us and spend a lot of time browsing social media sites. Like, a lot.Feels better to admit it, doesn’t it?Most of us have a love-hate relationship with social media. I mean, who hasn’t whiled away time intended for other things, instead perusing attention-grabbing sites, laughing over silly photos or living vicariously through exotic posts written by strangers?We all have. It’s just part of the social truth of our time.Social media grabs our attention. And, in some cases, it holds that attention for a very long time.One study estimates that an average person today may spend more than five years  on social media over their lifetime!Between us, I think that estimate might even be a tad low but hey, that’s just me.Since we’re already using the technology of social media, why not apply it to something we all know and loveâ€"like language learning? Makes sense, right? What Is SMLL?Social Media Language Learning, or SMLL, is a learning approach that concentrates on connecting interactive social media channels with language learners. Studies indicate that language learning is both inherently social and interactive so this method facilitates learning.Idiomplus, based in Barcelona, Spain, was one of the first to implement a solid Social Media Language Learning program. It focuses on integrating social media channels to stimulate conversation between language learners, which in turn provides a more natural method for picking up a language.Several other language learning leaders, including FluentU, espouse the social and interactive nature of modern social networks  as a successful route to language learning.How Can Social Me dia Help in a Language Learning Journey?SMLL isn’t just about surfing the web, watching random videos or clicking interesting linksâ€"although some form of each of those is at least a logical component of the method.What matters isnt whether or not you click, surf and browse, but rather what you’re interacting with.So focus on language learning now. There’ll be time for random stuff later. For now, open only sites which encourage you to stretch your language skills.Social media adds  an element of interactive fun  to the language learning equation. And when something doesn’t feel like work, we tend to apply ourselves just a little bit moreâ€"with seemingly less effort.The social aspect also allows you to connect to others, including learners like yourself as well as native speakers. And think about itâ€"you can do this without ever leaving your home!Chat and learn in fuzzy slippers, anyone?Social media can even provide a way to hold yourself accountable. If you make a pledge to check in and report your progress, you’ll be more likely to work toward the goal you’ve set.With others to encourage as well as pull you along, there’s less of a chance you may fall behind or discard your language commitment. The group mentality works, even from a distance!Using videos, newscasts and conversations in chat groups to observe the cultural aspects of a country where a target language is spoken can be a huge advantage when it comes to learning. Remember, language learning is a social and interactive process so seeing, hearing and participating in things like fashion, food and the arts gives dimension to the journey, which you don’t typically find between the pages of a book or in a classroom setting.Ready to Marry Social Media and Language Learning?Let’s look at places to find communities of like-minded language learners like yourself.FacebookFor many of us, the biggest social media hot spot is Facebook. And thats great! If you’re committed to meeting lan guage learners, it’s a great place to meet up and interact.There are groups for various and specific languagesâ€"and some groups communicate solely through the target language so it becomes an immersive social media experience. It can be intimidating at first to see every post and comment in another language but don’t let that put you off. The sooner you join in, the more quickly you’ll learn.There are also general language learner groups which allow participation in several languages.Use  the Facebook search bar to look for language learning groups, and you’ll find several to choose from in nearly every language.Remember, if you’re not comfortable with the first group you choose, there’s no penalty for leaving the group to check out another. Bounce around if you have to, until you find a social language learning environment that fits your needs.One language study group, We Do Languages, is a starting point for many people. They have  many learners intent on mastering  s everal languages!If you really don’t find a Facebook language learning group that makes you feel like you’ll learn and grow, start your own group! If there’s not one that feels like “home,” make your own home and welcome others in.The idea is to learn through socializing. It doesn’t matter where you hang your hat, as long as you get to know your new friends.BlogsNow that youve hopefully found a Facebook niche, add to that with some fun and interesting language learning blogs.Bloggers write in countless languages, from nearly every spot on the globe. They provide a perspective and a slice of life from places that can seem new and exciting.Lots of them  come from countries that many of us won’t see in our lifetimes. But we can interact with those who live there and see what really goes on in the spots we dream about!We can also do that with places we have visited, of course. For example, I’ve been to Italy and loved it. I speak Italian and am committed to staying fluen t in the language so I read  Adgblog, a blog about Italian culture. It’s written in Italian and there are some really interesting posts. Also, I read Wandering Italy, just for the culture.There are also tons of blogs about learning other target languages. These blogs facilitate learning and are geared toward the learner’s mindset. The Polyglot Dream  and Fluent in 3 Months are go-to sources for advice from polyglots whove walked the walk and can really talk the talk!FluentU’s also has several blogs for those on their own language learning journey. They provide invaluable tips, advice and resources. In addition to this blog, which shares tips and resources for all language learners,  Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Korean and Italian each have their own blogs for language learners and are veritable  warehouses of information. Additionally, there are separate blogs for educators  in those languages, and theres even a business English blog!Twitter The next three social media resources  are all fast-paced social meeting places which allow for interaction, connection and learning in a target language.Using  Twitter  to read  tweets in a foreign language can be a fun learning device. Theres no overthinking things, and it has the appeal of casually sharing information.One of my favorite polyglot Twitter accounts is called Polyglot Club. Just stopping in there reminds me Im not alone on my language learning journey!Polyglot Weekly is also worth a Twitter peek. Many of  Tweets are about language, but they also cover cultural issues.Finally, theres the Twitter account for Duolingo, the language learning program and app. They post interesting little tips and tidbits about many different languages.WhatsAppWhatsApp is a messaging app that keeps the globe connected. Over a billion people in 180 countries keep in touch using this social device. Connect with people in a distant land and practice your language skills. It’s easy to intera ct withâ€"and learn fromâ€"those who post in your target language.SnapchatSnapchat, the spot for posting photos and messages that are available only for a short time, can also encourage language learning. With users worldwide, there are plenty of people who can help with pronunciation and grammar issues. You can post a short video of yourself speaking and ask for critiques, then view replies on other users’ accounts.YouTubeYouTube is a social media gold mine for language learners. To get the most out of what’s available, search using hashtags related to  the language you want to learn.For example, if youre learning Spanish, these channels  may be helpful. Looking for suggestions to find French videos? Weve also got you covered. Or is German more your thing? No worries!The point is, keep looking until you figure out what social media language learning resource and strategy best fits your lifestyle. Language learning is a personal endeavor with no one-size-fits-all method.Use Soci al Media to Your AdvantageSo now you’re a social media whiz. You’ve made  connections and interactions and have improved your language learning.But the question remains: How do you make social media a top tool in your language learning arsenal?Here are a few tips to get you started:Don’t be shy. Join conversations and participate. Its not always easy, but just remember: You probably wont ever see these people in real life and anyway, theyre probably too busy to worry if you make a mistake because theyre too concerned about the impression theyre making!Ask questions and don’t be afraid to make mistakes.  Everybody’s learning together, and at one time the person who’s helping correct your mistake also made a similar mistake. Don’t forget thatâ€"and just enjoy the social aspects of sharing a language!Follow any accounts that facilitate learning.  Of course, there are spots that don’t encourage participation but that doesn’t meant they aren’t useful. You can still dr ink up the content, learn about culture or simply glean insights by watching what native speakers do and say. There’s a lot to be said for observation!Social Media and Language Learning, Living Happily Ever AfterWe live busy lives and it can be brutal to squeeze in time for language learning, unless we use what we have at hand to our best advantage. And for most of us, social media platforms are almost constantly at hand.So reach out and touch someone, linguistically speaking, and learn while you’re getting acquainted.Who knows, a social media learning experience might bring a new real-life friend into your lifeâ€"along with a trip to somewhere fun and exotic, perhaps! What’s not to love?Social media and language learning? Definitely seems like a match made in heaven! And One More ThingCombining social media with more targeted learning is easy when youre using FluentU.Thats because FluentU teaches you languages using the same type of popular YouTube videos your friends are s haring on social media nowâ€"and you can share these on your favorite networks, too!With FluentU, you learn real languagesâ€"the same way that natives  speak them.

Lungs Diagram Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace Our lungs consist of the millions of tiny alveoli. The alveoli and associated bronchioles give the lung a soft, spongytexture. Inaddition, there are elastic tissue, numerous nerves, and blood vessels. The pair of lungs lies free in the chest or thoracic cavity, attached to each other by the bronchi. The two lungs are not mirror images of each other. Inhumans, the right lung is the larger of the two and is partially divided into three lobes. The left lung is divided into two lobes. A thin sheet of epithelial cells, called the pleural membrane, which encloses each of the lungs and is continuous with the lining of the chest cavity. The pleural membrane secretes a lubricating fluid that reduces friction and allows the lungs to expand and contract without being irritated. The amount of fluid secreted is quite small, and it is normally absorbed by lymph vessels as rapidly as it is produced. Internal structure of the lungs: Bronchi: When primary bronchus reaches to lungs, it soon divides into secondary bronchi which further divide into tertiary bronchi. Bronchioles: The tertiary bronchi divide into bronchioles .Thebronchioles divide repeatedly and give smaller bronchioles. Each bronchiole enters into lung lobules known as lobular bronchioles. It gives rise to terminal bronchioles which further divides into respiratory bronchioles. The respiratory bronchioles open into alveolar duct. The alveolar duct terminates in atria which is expanded passages. These in turn lead into air sacs, which later open into alveoli. The wall of the alveoli is very thin and made up of squamous epithelium. Here exchange of gases takes place easily.
