This is a densimeter. It is necessary to assess the density of a substance. What is
the density of a substance? It is the weight of the unit volume of that substance.
The measurement of the density is a measurement of the weight and the volume of
certain mass of the substance.
The quotient of the weight and volume is equal to the Density.

The internal structure of an animal cell is very complex. The nucleus is at the center of the cell. It contains
the genetic material. A membranous envelope, the nuclear membrane, surrounds the nucleus. This
membrane has pores.
In the cytoplasm we find different organelles: the synthesis of new proteins occurs in the ribosomes. These
new proteins move to the Golgi complex. They undergo a process of maturation with the incorporation of
residues of sugar, etc. Other organelles, the mitochondria, produce the necessary energy to maintain the
cellular functions. Lysosomes are organelles with enzymes. They destroy strange substances. The plasmatic
membrane covers the cell. It maintains the normal internal environment and the shape of the cell.

XIII) - Luego de leer y analizar el siguiente texto resuelva la ejercitación que está a continuación.
Every 28 days one of the ovaries releases an ovum and this passes through the reproductive
system. The development of the ovum, its release (ovulation) and subsequent events occur in a
cyclical process controlled by hormones. This is called the menstrual cycle. Menstrual cycle
hormones have different functions: the oestrogen causes onset and maintenance of secondary
sexual characteristics, e.g. breast development, fat accumulation, and so on. Furthermore, it repairs
the uterus wall after menstruation and increases thickness of the uterine wall.
Progesterone prepares uterine wall for implantation and inhibits oxytocin. This oxytocin stimulates
uterine muscular contraction during labour and the secretion of milk. These hormones are secreted
by the pituitary gland, ovaries and corpus luteum.
XIV. a) - ¿Verdadero o Falso?
1- Oxytocin regulates the menstrual cycle.

The endocrine glands.
The endocrine glands produce important chemical substances: the hormones. They regulate many chemical
processes ---------- the body.
The pituitary gland controls the other endocrine glands. ----------- it, a young animal does not grow or
develop sexually. ---------- humans, the pituitary is only 2 cm --------- diameter.
The thyroid gland produces thyrotoxine, a complex chemical --------- iodine. When the diet does not contain
enough iodine, the gland does not produce sufficient thyroxine. On the other hand, when thyroxine
production is excessive, there is an increase --------- the rate of metabolism, the animal burns food and it loses
weight.

The shape of the pituitary gland is roughly spherical.
Removal of the pituitary gland results in excessive growth.
The thyroid gland serves to produce insulin
Most diets contain a small amount of iodine; consequently, production of thyroxine takes place.
When insufficient thyroxine is produced, an animal loses weight.
When an animal is in danger, the production of adrenaline increases.
The gland responsible for the production of insuline is near the duodenum.
Lack of insulin results in high levels of sugar in blood and diabetes.
XVI) - Lea el siguiente texto y con los datos que allí figuran, realice un esquema.
THE STRUCTURE OF PLANT CELLS.
The outer layer of a plant cell is called the cell wall. This is composed of a lifeless material: cellulose. The
inner surface of the cell wall is lined with a layer of protoplasm. The nucleus is embedded in this layer. Part
of this protoplasm surrounds the nucleus and is called cytoplasm. The cytoplasm sometimes contains
chloroplasts. These are small bodies and are composed of protein. The surface of the cytoplasm is covered
with a cell membrane. The centre of a plant cell consists of a cavity: the vacuole. It is filled with fluid.
The walls of a plant cell are often joined to other cells around it. The layer between the walls of two cells
is called the middle lamella.

Immunology is the study of how a complex system of cells (the immune system) fights and kills foreign (1)
substances or antigens. The main cells in the immune system are the lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are white
blood cells which produce antibodies (these protein molecules neutralize the antigen). The shape of the
antibody molecule axactly matches (2) the shape of the antigen. The antibody sticks (3) tightly to the antigen
and forms an antigen-antibody complex. Another important cell in the immune system is the phagocyte (this
word means “a cell that swallows (4) ”. Phagocytes swallow dead cells and antigen-antibody complexes and
then destroy them. Another important type of immune cell is the killer cell. It kills foreing cells after
antibodies have stuck to them. Phagocytes then swallow the dead cells.

XXII) - NUCLEOPROTEIN METABOLISM.
Nucleo proteins are conjugated proteins. When a nucleoprotein is eaten, enzymes in the intestine
hydrolize it into protein and nuclein. This is further hydrolyzed into protein and nucleic acid and the proteins
are further hydrolyzed by the proteolytic enzymes of the intestine to aminoacids. The nucleic acid is first
hydrolyzed by the enzyme phosphatase to form nucleotides. At the same time phosphoric acid is removed
from each nucleotide. Finally, the resultant nucleosides are split into sugar and purine or pyrimidine by the
enzyme nucleosidase.

ANOXIA.
The term anoxia literally means without oxygen and it is commonly used to indicate shortage of oxygen.
However, it is preferable to refer to a condition of too little oxygen as hypoxia. There are four commonly
defined causes for lack of sufficient oxygen for the cells of the body and they are now stated in the
commonly used terms.
Anoxic anoxia, or hypoxic hypoxia refers to decreased oxygen saturation of blood hemoglobin because of
insufficient oxygen in the alveolar air. It is associated with low tension of oxygen in the arterial blood. This
condition is produced by obstructions of lung passages or inadequate oxygen supply.
The second type of anoxia is anaemic anoxia. This occurs in individuals with a too low hemoglobin
content to carry the required amount of oxygen. The oxygen tension is normal but there is a shortage of
oxygen due to the lack of hemoglobin.
The third type of anoxia is stagnant anoxia. This is due to a too slow blood flow round the circulation. The
oxygen tension and content are normal in the lungs, but the supplies of fresh oxygen are delivered too slowly
to provide the tissues with sufficient oxygen.
The fourth type of anoxia is histotoxic anoxia. An example of this is cyanide poisoning. The cyanide
destroys the enzyme system of the cells and prevents the utilisation of the oxygen present in the blood.
