Following the story of the use of ethanol to provide warmth in cold environments, this paper presents research on the effect the consumption of ethanol has on an individual’s body temperature. Firstly, the distribution of heat in the body is done by the blood. Through the vasodilatation and vasoconstriction of blood vessels, the body loses and retains head respectively. Given that ethanol enters the bloodstream directly upon consumption, its effects are almost immediate. Its presence in the blood causes the widening of blood vessels due to its vasodilation effect (Eston & Reily, 2013).
This results in an increase in ...

Introduction

Monitoring one’s diet is important since it informs dietary choices that one should make in order to achieve and maintain healthy lifestyle and good health. Therefore, I took part in recording my food intake and exercise habits for three weeks. Nutrition determines many aspects of human beings. As the common adage goes, ‘we are what we eat.’ This adage implies that what we eat defines many of our aspects. Nutrition is indispensable to human health. Similarly, physical exercise plays a major role in promoting good health. For instance, it improves general health and helps achieve glycemic control among ...

Nutritional Report

- Introduction:
This report analyses my nutritional intake for three days. I have created a record of my food intake amounts for three consecutive days. The goal of this exercise was to record how balanced my diet is, whether I am within my recommended calorie and nutrition intake and what are the factors that affect my food choices. It is also an initiative at improving the quality of my diet. It is an attempt at finding healthier food alternatives. The motive behind this is not to participate in futile calorie counting, but to make sure I am giving my ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light refers to the electromagnetic radiation that possess a shorter wavelength compared to the visible light and longer than that of the x-rays. The wavelength of UV light ranges from 400 nm to 100 nm (NASA, 2013). This corresponds to photon energies that range from 3 to 4 eV. The UV light got its name from the fact that the spectrum that is formed by the light has electromagnetic waves that have a frequency greater that the ones that are identified by humans as violet. The frequencies are not visible to humans other than those who have ...

The Rainbow Channel at Morton Bay was the location for a field work project on sampling characteristics about the biota and about water quality parameters. Rainbow Channel experiences ocean flushing dependent on daily, monthly, seasonal, and annual at regular natural time intervals. Both daytime and night time sampling took place to better understand 24 hourly and daily cycles of nutrient concentrations, salinity, temperature, fluorescence and currents. Primary productivity takes place at different three different depths. The rate of productivity depends ...

Apart from good fats there is another food containing bad fat that one should avoid in the best way possible for a good health. Despite avoiding these fats, people are by consensus getting fatter increasing the trend for obesity. The major problem is that we are eating low fat foods and avoiding red meats like the plague.
In Chris Kresser’s article, He gives some amazing and interesting facts about Grass Fed Beef VS. Grain Fed Beef. After reading the article, one would change his or her approach towards some eating habits. People avoid buying grass fed beef because ...

The natural soil contains lots of microorganisms that are sufficient enough to naturally produce nutrients required for agricultural activities and benefit the plants; moreover, that improves the quality and quantity of the yield produce. In a situation where the soil fertility is deteriorated, natural and organic fertilizer should be added as they provide all the necessary nutrients required by the living microorganisms and the plants (Traina & Laperche, 1999). Artificially developed fertilizers are rich in nutrients that boost the yield quality and quantity but should be controllably used as they might kill all the microorganism transforming the productive soil into ...

The Metabolism of (PABA) Para-Amino benzoic Acid

Introduction
PABA or Para amino benzoic acid is a non proteinous amino acid that occurs naturally. The molecular formula of para- amino benzoic acid is C7H7 NO2; the structure of PABA consists of benzene rings substituted with a carboxyl and an amino group. PABA is a white crystalline molecule that is only sparingly soluble in water. PABA is a very essential nutrient for bacteria PABA functions as an intermediate in the synthesis of folic acid in bacteria
The deficiency of PABA does not cause any deficiency diseases in man. Some bacteria in the intestinal tract can synthesise PABA from ...

Research question

The experiment was used to investigate the intraspecific and interspecific competition of plants in the same family. The experiment was to show the competition between plants of the same species and plants of different species. The variables included temperatures, light and water. Intraspecific competition occurs between organisms of the same species and since they are likely to have similar resource requirements they are likely to compete for any limited supply. In interspecific this is a complex ecosystem with many different needs competing for resources such as food, space or light.

Hypothesis

Competition among plants involves a struggle for limited resources ...

Abstract

The internal temperature of the cold-blooded organisms is dependent on the temperature of the surrounding in order to maintain their own temperature. An increase in temperature leads to an increase in metabolism processes, which also lead to increased heart activity. In this experiment, the effect of temperature of the rate of metabolism was studied. This was done using cold-blooded animals, Mytilus species, to determine the effect of temperature on metabolism. The increase in temperature led to an increased heart rate. It was thus concluded that temperature affects the rate of metabolism.

Introduction

Dextropropoxyphene is a drug used as a painkiller. The mild opioid can alleviate long-term or short-term pains. Dextropropoxyphene is an opioid that is a morphine-related drug. It acts on the neural system in the spine and the brain and hence relieves pain. The drug has been available for use by blending it with other drugs or on its own. In the recent past, use of the drug has been rejected by several countries, among them Australia, because of safety reasons. In Australia, the drug has been recently in March 2012 following discoveries that Dextropropoxyphene can cause changes in ...

Land and sea polluted with petroleum-based synthetic and natural substances have led to the development of techniques using biological organisms for clean-up. The technique is called bioremediation. “Bio” refers to biology and “remediation” to clean-up. The types of microorganisms used are bacteria fungi and actinomycetes. Bacteria can be used for bioremediation under anaerobic or aerobic conditions. Actinomycetes are generally anaerobic and grow from spores forming filaments and branches. The applications and environment for optimum bioremediation varies depending on the pollutant and the biological organisms. Different combinations work better depending on the temperature, substrata and other environmental variables. The goal ...

1. Overview

The peptide hormones are proteinous in nature and may have 3 to 200 amino acids residues. This class of hormones includes all the hormones of the hypothalamus and pituitary, as well as insulin and glucagon of pancreas. Peptide hormones are named based on their endocrine activity rather than their chemical structure; for example, growth hormone is thus named because one of its effects is to stimulate growth. The structure of a particular peptide hormone can vary among different species, with some homology ...

Introduction

Enzymes are protein whose main function is working as a catalyst for different reactions in the body. It only alters the rate of the reaction it being involved in the same reactions. There are several enzymes in the human body each having a specific reaction to catalyze. An example of an enzyme includes salivary Amylase. Salivary Amylase is an enzyme found in the human saliva. It catalyzes the break down of starch into oligosaccharides via the process of hydrolysis. Therefore, its main substrate is starch. Without this enzyme, this metabolism ...

Introduction

Nutritional status can be defined as the balance between the amount of nutrients taken in by a living organism and the amount of nutrients spent by these organisms in the process of growth, health maintenance. In order to analyze this aspect, we will take into consideration the following attributes; level of nutrients in the body, products of metabolism and the functional processes that they regulate. Nutritional status can be measured for both individuals and populations. For accurate measurements especially those used for clinical purposes, nutritional measurements are done for individuals whereas ...

When someone is obese, it means that he or she has accumulated so much fat in the body that it negatively affects their health. A Body Mass Index of between 25 and 29.9 is considered over weight. If the BMI is 30 and above, then the person is obese. Childhood obesity occurs when the weight of a child is above normal for his or her age and height. This exposes them to health problems such as diabetes, high levels of cholesterol and high blood pressure. Childhood obesity is a serious public health problem in Australia and globally. It has ...

Introduction

This analysis will focus on the excess intake of saturated fats and cardiovascular disease. The analysis is based on the report detailing my nutrient intake recorded for two days starting from September 4, 2014 to September 6, 2014. According to the analysis, my diet during the two-day period predisposes me to cardiovascular disease since it is high in saturated fats. According to the food guidelines given by USDA, saturated fats should contribute less than 10 percent of the total daily calories. However, my nutrient report indicates that saturated fats contribute 12 percent of my total daily calorie intake. Consequently, ...

Vitamin C Clock Reaction: Kinetics

Vitamin C Clock Reaction: Kinetics

Abstract

Collision theory refers to a theory that was proposed by Max Trautz and William Lewis independently. The theory qualitatively offers an explanation on the way chemical reactions take place and the reason behind differences in reaction rates in different reactions. The rate equation for a given chemical reaction refers to the equation that provides a link between the pressure or concentrations of the reactants and the parameters that are constant partial reaction orders and the rate coefficients. This experiment aimed to determine the rate of reaction of reaction between iodide and hydrogen peroxide and ...

INTRODUCTION

Baghouse filters are fabric filter units consisting of one or more isolated sections containing an array of fabric bags (Vatavuk, 1998). Shapes of these bags range from round, flat, tube-shaped, to pleated cartridges. In theory, gas containing high particulate matter level passes through the fabric bag surface. The particulate matter is retained while the cleaned gas is either recycled to the process or vented off the exhaust. This paper attempts to discuss the different concepts behind baghouse filters in relation to environmental engineering. Specifically, this paper discusses (a) particle pollution, (b) baghouse filter principle, (c) filter media selection, (d) ...

Introduction

Osmosis refers to the net water movement across a membrane, which is selectively permeable and the movement is driven by a difference in the concentration of the solutes on the opposite sides of the membrane. A selectively permeable membrane allows water to pass through without allowing ions or solute molecules to pass through. Other small molecules that are not charged are also allowed to pass through the membrane. Diffusion, on the other hand, refers to the movement of molecules in a random motion as a result of the kinetic energy and causes the molecules to have a net movement ...

Dihydrofolatereductase (DHFR) is an important enzyme in the formation of DNA (Goodsell, 2002). DHFR controls the amount of tetrahydrofolate in the cells, which in turn is an important cofactor for purine and thymidylate synthesis and ultimately in the growth and proliferation of the cell (Davidson &Sittman, 1999). The enzyme is common to many species on earth. Human and bacterial DHFR have a relatively low rate of primary sequence agreement at 26%. However, they both retain a common general structure.The key role that the enzyme plays in biology as well as the variations that the enzyme displays makes it an ...

Introduction

Everglades evolved from overflow from Lake Okeechobee after thousands of years of intense torrential rainfall. From lakes shores of Florida bay and Gulf Mexico, this vast marsh extends southwestwards. Stephanie Moller. (2008). At the southern tip of Florida Peninsula, the marsh begins and continues to extend northwards towards Lake Okeechobee, and it lies in a shallow limestone basin. Several streams like Miami drain the area without any river flowing into the basin.
The Everglades are an excellent wetland located at the margins of the tropics. This magnificent ecosystem provides shelter to a variety of animals, birds and fish. This ...

Biodiversity and sustainability, two of the major factors to determine if an ecosystem is habitable and sufficient for any life form, may it be fauna, fawn or human kind. However, there are only a few sites left around the globe which can be considered sustainable and contains biodiversity as climate change continues to affect the planet. Some areas have become barren, while a few remained arable but in the risk of being converted into commercial lands for homes or businesses. In the United States, the problem of pollution not only affected its once diverse ecosystem, which is considered the ...

Introduction

Components that enhance the rate at which chemical reactions that place are referred to as enzyme (Lehninger, Nelson, & Cox, 2008). Through the reduction of the amount of activation energy that is necessary for a successful completion of a reaction, enzymes manage to reduce the time and resources needed to complete the reaction (Cooper, 2000). The activity of a given enzyme is, usually, affected by the level of different parameters such as temperature, pH levels, concentration of the enzyme and substrate concentration (Eed, 2012).
Enzymes work best within a given range of values for each of these factors and deviation ...

Introduction

In the past, agricultural production has relied on traditional approaches to enhancing farm production. For instance, farmers in the past used conventional approach such as the migration of birds to determine the climate conditions that were approaching. According to Zhang and Pierce (2013), farmers made planting decisions based on their experiences relating to the climatic conditions. However, traditional approaches to farming have severely resulted to a decrease in output because of the different and varying conditions that are beyond the comprehension of human experiences. As such, sensors have been developed for application in crop and animal faring with the ...

The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is the most common test used for assessing of the body’s ability to breakdown glucose/ carbohydrate. The test evaluates the level of the clearance of glucose from the blood through measuring blood glucose from samples taken at intervals of 30 minutes against the initial glucose following an oral intake of a glucose solution (about 1.75g/kg body weight) after fasting for 8-12 hours. Impaired glucose metabolism, which is a sign of underlying disease states such as type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, gestational diabetes etc., is indicated by elevated glucose levels (>140 mg/dl) ...

Introduction

An enzyme refers to a molecule that is protein in nature and works as a biological catalyst. The enzyme possesses three major characteristics. The first characteristic is that they act to increase the rate at which a given reaction takes place. This enables most cellular reactions to take place at up to million times faster compared to their rate in the absence of an enzyme. Secondly, most enzymes act specifically on a single reactant known as ...
