Introduction

Elodea canadensis is a perennial hydrophyte, which is native to the majority of North America and was first recorded in about 1836 from the British Isles (Hackney, 1992). Young plants at first begin with a seedling stem and roots grow in mud at the underneath of water. More adventitious roots arise at intervals along the stem. The leaves are translucent, bright green, oblong, 1-4 mm broad and 6-17 mm long, borne in whorls of three round the stem (Rose, 2006). It lives completely submerged.

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 ...

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 people ...

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 a condition called ...

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 sand.

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 chorismate. Humans ...

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 such as ...

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 the electrical activity ...

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 between close relatives. Some small peptides are identical; for example, GnRH is identical among mammals but different in ...

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 process would be completely slow. Since enzymes are proteins, their functions ...

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 for research purposes, population measures are the most common. ...

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 ...

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 increased at ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 determine the order ...

Based on the initial symptoms, the patient most likely suffers from hypothyroidism or low thyroid hormone disorder. Further clinical tests and an examination of the family’s medical history reveals that the particular disorder could be Hashimoto’s disease; also called Hashimoto thyroiditis. Hashimoto thyroiditis is classified as an autoimmune disease. In autoimmune disease, one's immune system attacks the body’s tissue specifically the thyroid gland (Skugor & Wilder, 2006, p.2). By attacking the thyroid gland, the disease reduces the gland’s ability to produce thyroid hormones of substantial quantity. This condition leads to hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone deficiency presents with ...

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.

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 from areas where the particles ...

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 important target ...

Lab Report for Circulatory system

Introduction & background information:-
The circulatory system is a large interconnected network of organs and vessels which causes the flow of blood, nutrients, oxygen, hormones and various gasses between the cells of the body. If the circulatory system were absent in the human body, it would not be able to defend itself against diseases and illness or to maintain a constant internal environment, for example, the correct temperature or the pH. This process is called homeostasis. Hence, it can be said the circulatory system consists of the heart and the lungs which work in unison for the transportation of blood ...

How much a person consumes depends highly on their culture. Eating disorders, for example, are most often seen among European American women than the African American women (Durand & Barlow, 2016, p.291). This has been the effect of certain cultural beliefs, such as those that has something to do with the ideal body shape. It only appears that those who value thinness all the more tend to do more to attain a lower weight and thinner body. A small change in culture can influence the rate of eating disorders, such as seen in Asian women who attend Western universities and ...

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 from these values ...

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 goal ...

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) after 2 ...

Variation in temperature can have an extremely overwhelming effect on the body function and physiological process that also include performance on many ectotherms like Acheta domesticus. Most of these insects often appear to be sensitive to this seemingly symbiotic relationship to escape the various dangers that lurk around in their habitats. For Achata domesticus, lower body temperatures might mean a more restricted movement than when at temperatures that are high. With the aim to understand the difference in locomotive behavior of A.domesticus to variation in the levels of temperature, an experiment was carried out on a specimen of 10-crickets, ...

Introduction

An enzyme refers to a molecule that is protein in nature and works as a biological catalyst. The enzyme possesses three major characteristics.
