Can be used for endoscopy, surveillance, and nanosystems. How do they deal with changes in salinity: the study of physiology integrates knowledge at all levels of organization, structure-function relationship: anatomy limits functions. Cells: see inner life video at around 7 min in lecture 2, enclosed by a cell (plasma) membrane, separates the cell from surrounding environment, permits the external environment to differ from external environment. If fully saturated with hydrogens, it is a saturated fatty acid and if there are double bonds it"s unsaturated: naturally forms a bilayer, the kinks in unsaturated molecules are essential for fluidity of a membrane. In very hot environments such as ocean vents, there are only bacteria. The paths of the proteins have shown evidence of the compartments: in the red blood cell, the cytoskeleton is well preserved. Gold particles were attached to the protein intact band 3, a type of transport protein: they studied an anchored band 3, a normal band.
