Introduction

Bacillus Subtilis are the organisms that are aerobic, Gram Positive, spore-forming belonging to the Bacillus genus. The organisms are together with other species that are closely related play a crucial role in disease, food poisoning as well as food spoilage. Lack of methods that are standardized for the identification of the organisms whether coming from the food or environment has made the tests to be difficult. Use of morphological as well as physiological tests have offered the best ways to identify organisms in the laboratory although there are inconsistent and lack of reliance in these methods.

Phosphorus and Nitrogen Limitation on Plants Growth

Introduction
Plant growth and development rely on multiple environmental factors that include light intensity, temperature, water availability and vital minerals and nutrients. During the insufficiency of exogenous resources, plants maintain this imbalance through allocating the new biomass to that organ which specifically needs that insufficient nutrient (Hermans et al., 2006). Nutrients like nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) play significant roles in a plant life. They influence various metabolic factors of plant life through cooperating with each other such as in biomass distribution as well as regulating chlorophyll A and B levels.
The objective of this experiment is to understand ...

How is Plant Growth Affected by Sunlight?

Introduction
Background information
Sunlight is essential to plants. Plants in dark room tend to grow towards sunlight. When they lack sunlight, photosynthesis does not take place causing them to wither and die.
Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of a plant. In plant leaves, there are organelles called chloroplast. They form site for photosynthesis process. They are very many in a leaf.

Within chloroplast, there is chlorophyll, that are usually green in color, hence the green coloration in plants.

Plants require air, water and sunlight for photosynthesis to occur. Air goes inside the leaf via stomata, water is absorbed from the ground through the roots and sunlight is absorbed by the chloroplasts in the leaves.
Chemical ...

Type 2 diabetes is increasingly becoming prevalent form of a disorder among children. This is largely driven by lifestyle factors that could lead to increased body weight, just like in the case of adults. Genetic and family factors, environmental factors like maternal gestational diabetes and intrauterine retardation in growth and lack of physical activities during adolescents and childhood have resulted in an increase, in the levels of insulin resistance that are considered crucial in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes among the young. Type 2 diabetes is linked to microvascular diseases with an indication of greater nephropathy risks as opposed ...

Carbohydrates play a major role in maintaining and promoting human health: from the provision of energy to maintenance of the microbial composition of the gastrointestinal tract. Some of the functions of carbohydrates in the diet include the following: provision of energy, formation of various body structures, and sparing of other structural proteins from being used to obtain energy.
However, sometimes there is a need to reduce consumption of carbohydrates. For instance, whenever there is a need to reduce weight or to control blood sugar level, people often resort to the use of non-caloric artificial sweeteners. The sweeteners replace glucose in the ...

Abstract

Human activities have a significant influence on marine life. Pollutants from landfills, dumps, mines, farms, etc. can pollute the ocean and later through the food chain cause harm to all land animals and humans as well. Protein is a very important structural component of an organism. Using protein for energy is an inefficient form of metabolism and in the long run detrimental to the organism. A significant low level of protein content was noticed in Mytilus californianus or (mussels) obtained from the polluted environment when compared to the tissue of Mytilus californianus obtained from pristine environment. Organism that are ...

A person’s nutritional status is largely determined by the diet he or she partakes in. Eating nutritious and healthy foods is essential for our bodies to obtain the nutrients needed. Moreover, the food we eat determines the caloric intake for the day, which is important when it comes to weight control. Furthermore, this paper is an analysis of my diet that was recorded by MyFitnessPal, an application that counts the calories of food one intakes and provides a summary on one’s macro- and micronutrients.
When my food intake from February 8 to 14 is analysed, it can ...

Diabetes is a condition that occurs when the pancreas cannot produce insulin or when cells cannot respond to insulin because of insulin resistance. Diabetes is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. Several potential complications can occur when diabetes is not managed properly, such as kidney failure, obesity, hypertension, and elevated cholesterol levels, so a diet aimed at diabetes patients needs to minimize those risks.
There are no strict guidelines for creating or following a diabetic diet, but the main points include high-fiber intake, eating healthy carbohydrates, low cholesterol intake, low saturated fat intake, and focusing on foods with a low glycemic index ( ...

Abstract

Industrialization and globalization in developed countries have led to sedentary lifestyles, which have a dramatic effect on the health and energy levels of individuals living in these countries (Balko, 2004). Factors such as access to fast food, the existence of junk food and increasing levels of inactivity contribute to overall laziness in lifestyle, as well as a lack of proper nutrition. I used an excel file to keep track of my daily intake of fruits and vegetables and at the end of the day add up my total. The Program was successful in improving my diet however it was unsuccessful in ...
