The Inner Mitochondrial Membrane01:28

The Inner Mitochondrial Membrane

5.0K
The inner mitochondrial membrane is the primary site of ATP synthesis. The inner membrane domain that forms a smooth layer adjacent to the outer membrane is called the inner boundary membrane. This domain contains membrane transporters that drive metabolites in and out of the mitochondria.  In contrast, the inner membrane network that invaginates into the matrix space is called the cristae membrane. This domain accounts for principle mitochondrial function as it accommodates the protein...

Mitochondrial Membranes

17.8K
A single mitochondrion is a bean-shaped organelle enclosed by a double-membrane system. The outer membrane of mitochondria is smooth and contains many porins - the integral membrane transporters. Porins enable free diffusion of ions and small uncharged molecules through the outer mitochondrial membrane but limit the transport of molecules larger than 5000 Daltons. Further, the outer mitochondrial membrane forms a unique structure called membrane contact sites with other subcellular organelles,...

Mitochondria

21.4K
Mitochondria are eukaryotic cellular organelles that are known to produce energy through a process called oxidative phosphorylation. Besides their primary function, mitochondria are involved in various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, signaling, metabolism, and senescence. Age-related changes cause a decline in mitochondrial quality and integrity due to increased mitochondrial mutations and oxidative damage. Thus, aging can severely impact mitochondrial functions,...

The Contractile Ring02:15

The Contractile Ring

7.5K
Contractile rings are composed of microfilaments and are responsible for separating the daughter cells during cytokinesis. Contractile ring assembly proceeds along with other cell cycle events; however, very few mechanistic details are known about the timing and coordination of the contractile rings with the cell cycle.
A small GTPase, RhoA, controls the function and assembly of the contractile ring. RhoA belongs to the Ras superfamily of proteins. The activation of formins by RhoA promotes...

    Area of Science:

    • Visual perception
    • Optical illusions
    • Psychophysics

    Background:

    • 'Witch rings' are novelty items known for their size-change illusion.
    • This illusion is triggered by the rotation of the ring.
    • The precise mechanisms behind this visual phenomenon require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the 'witch ring' size-change illusion.
    • To replicate the illusion of expansion in reflections using digital animations.
    • To explore the possibility of simulating the perceived expansion and contraction of the entire ring.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized digital animations to simulate the visual effects of rotating witch rings.
    • Experimented with various contexts and parameters in the animations.
    • Focused on replicating the expansion of reflections within the ring's design.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully replicated the illusion of expansion of reflections in animated witch rings.
    • The simulation of the entire ring's perceived expansion and contraction remains challenging.
    • Demonstrated the feasibility of creating aspects of the witch ring illusion digitally.

    Conclusions:

    • The expansion of reflections in witch rings can be effectively simulated using animations.
    • Replicating the holistic size-change perception of the entire ring presents greater technical difficulties.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand and recreate the complete witch ring illusion.
