Plas

The origin of the realm called Plas is separated into seven parts called “Days” which symbolize the phases of development 

⟁

The nature of Plas:

Plas is a floating region that sits between the gates of Organelle and Lamina 

Plas itself, passes through Organelle and Lamina 

⟁

Organelle and Lamina are designed after neurons 

Organelle follows the biological processes normally, while in Lamina, everything is reversed 

The Realm of Plas

Based on the plasma membrane 

The Origin of Plas

Day 1:

Morning:

Structure:

The core of the plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer

Amphipathic Nature:

Phospholipids have a polar (hydrophilic) head and two nonpolar (hydrophobic) fatty acid tails

Polar and non-polar refers to the level in which two elements share a pair of electrons

Polar means there is unequal sharing of electrons, while nonpolar means equal sharing

Bilayer Formation:

Steps:

Initial Vesicle Adsorption:

Small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) are deposited onto a hydrophilic surface

initially adhere to the surface via van der Waals forces

Vesicle Fusion:

Adsorbed vesicles can fuse together to form larger vesicles, a process influenced by factors like vesicle size and the presence of lipids that might be added to the solution

Vesicle Rupture and Bilayer Disk Formation:

Once vesicles are large enough, they can rupture, releasing their contents and forming bilayer disks on the surface

Bilayer Disk Merging:

The bilayer disks then merge together, eventually forming a continuous and uniform SLB on the surface

In an aqueous environment, these molecules spontaneously assemble into two layers, with the tails facing inward and the heads facing outward

Afternoon:

Hydrophobic Core:

The hydrophobic tails form a barrier within the bilayer, preventing the passage of many hydrophilic molecules

Fluid Mosaic Model:

The bilayer is not static; it exhibits fluidity, allowing for the lateral movement of lipids and proteins within the membrane

Evening:

Barrier:

The bilayer forms a barrier that regulates the passage of substances into and out of cells, essential for maintaining cellular compartments

Structural Framework:

It provides a foundation for the organization and function of membrane proteins and other lipids

Night:

Fluidity:

The ability to move laterally allows for processes like membrane fusion, endocytosis, and exocytosis

Cellular Communication:

The bilayer can also be involved in signal transduction and other cellular communication processes

a double layer

Day 2:

Phospholipids:

These are lipid molecules with a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and two hydrophobic (water-repelling) fatty acid tails

Day 3:

Bilayer Arrangement:

The hydrophobic tails are sandwiched between the hydrophilic heads, creating a barrier that prevents the movement of many substances across the membrane

Day 4:

Embedded Proteins:

Many proteins are embedded within the phospholipid bilayer, extending across the membrane (integral proteins) or only partially penetrating it (peripheral proteins)

Day 5:

Transport: 

Some proteins act as channels or pumps to move substances across the membrane

Day 6:

Signaling: 

Other proteins can bind to signaling molecules, triggering intracellular responses. 

Day 7:

Structural Support: 

Some proteins help to maintain the shape and stability of the membrane

Character-World Fusion

Morning:

Before the people are “born” they exist in pods that are planted in Plas 

Each pod has a cord attached to it. Feeding important information, as the body grows and develops

Her life begins in the core of her soul, it is marked by a glowing white spot in the middle of her chest.

Light is exchanged between the Laminae, because of this spot 

Light can fire from this spot for a distance to another person, to send necessary informatin Their mind will absorb this information in the form of visual effects. 

This however can only happen at the appropriate times 

Datura’s beginning is on the surface realm Plas. Where she is to learn her potential 

A wave of energy travels across the entire region of Plas. The signal to open the pods

The realm of Plas crosses the gap into Organelle and becomes the first continent 

The common goal:

She is to handle the speculation of the other side from the pictures taken by travellers

She will use the acquired skills to defend herself and Plas from potential threats 

This involves a rapid change in the neuron's membrane potential, where positively charged ions (like sodium) rush into the cell

Plas is then flooded with people, many of which are called “Voids”. Voids are soulless creatures with one goal. To glamorize the threat that the Laminae are facing at the time.

Most cells maintain a negative electrical charge on the inside of their membrane compared to the outside. This difference in charge is called the membrane potential. 

When a cell depolarizes, the negative charge inside the cell becomes less negative (more positive). This is often triggered by the influx of positive ions, like sodium (Na+), into the cell. 

This depolarization triggers a chain reaction of opening voltage-gated sodium channels, further depolarizing the neuron.

Norepinephrine and dopamine are also excitatory, with roles in arousal, alertness, and motivation

Vesicle Rupture and Bilayer Disk Formation:

Once vesicles are large enough, they can rupture, releasing their contents and forming bilayer disks on the surface

Bilayer Disk Merging:

The bilayer disks then merge together, eventually forming a continuous and uniform SLB on the surface

In an aqueous environment, these molecules spontaneously assemble into two layers, with the tails facing inward and the heads facing outward
