Nutrition 1 Assessment Item 1: Short Answer Questions 1. Define what a nutrient is and discuss the difference between the major macronutrients. The human body uses nutrients for energy, growth and bodily functions. Nutrients come in different types, some that the body requires in smaller amounts and some that the body will need to take in a greater amount of. The nutrients that are required in larger amounts are called macronutrients. The three macronutrients consist of; Carbohydrates, Lipids…
For some men, jock itch is a highly annoying phenomenon that won't stay away. Men who do manual labor, work out or play sports are particularly susceptible to this itchy penis rash; learning how to treat and prevent it is a must for all active men, or those simply prone to sweating profusely. The following provides information on jock itch along with the penis care steps required to keep it from recurring. What is Jock Itch? Jock itch is caused by the overgrowth of the tinea cruris fungus in a…
The researchers used two groups of rats: one fed the ketogenic diet regimen and the other a control diet. They found that chronic ketosis resulted in the increased production of mitochondrial proteins as well as proteins associated with oxidative phosphorylation, the cells primary mechanism for producing ATP. The researchers used electron micrographs from the dentate-hilar region of the hippocampus, and visually analyzed the micrographs from ketogenic diet fed rats and control diet fed rats.…
carbonyldiimidazole (Sinha et al., 1995). (7) N-Benzoyltetrazole has been developed as a mild and selective reagent for the monobenzoylation of the exocyclic amino groups in adenine and cytosine nucleobases (Bhat et al., 1997). In a related report, 1-acetyl-4-nitrobenzotriazole readily acetylated the exocyclic amine of cytidine (Reid et al., 2006). This one step-strategy is…
I was able to identify all the liquids in our sludge but only about half of our solids mainly because we only started working at a good pace towards the very final days of sludge. We didn’t identify any gases because there wasn’t any in our sludge. We only had three liquids in our sludge. We were able to get at least 10 ML. of liquid A and Liquid B. We had about 6 ML. of liquid C but on day #18, Monday, May 20, all our our liquid C was gone. I’m not exactly sure what happened like if the test…
10/11/15 Nick Roberts Period 6 Cellular Respiration Aerobic cellular respiration is a process in which our cells get energy in the form of ATP. This process has 3 major steps in order to function properly. These steps are Glycolysis, Citric Acid or Krebs Cycle, and the electric transport state. These steps each have an important role in our cells respiration cycle. The first step in the cycle is called Glycolysis. Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol or cytoplasm of a cell. For…
Drug use and abuse has been a rising issue in America for decades and has a major impact on the criminal justice system. Although it is unclear as to when drugs were first discovered, we can date back to at least 12,000 years ago when cannabis (inherited the name marijuana from Mexico) was cultivated. Cannabis Sativa is considered humanity’s oldest cultivated crop with a long history. These plants are believed to have emerged in Central Asia in the regions of Mongolia and southern Siberia.…
is the aerobic process where carbohydrates, fats, and protein are broken down to produce ATP. On the other hand, glycolysis is an anaerobic process which means it does not use oxygen. This process converts glucose into pyruvate, then converted into acetyl CoA or lactate. If oxygen is not present or a very small amount, the lactic acid cycle begins and three molecules of ATP are produced. The end to this process causes soreness and fatigue. Heat dissipation is where the muscles generate thermal…
What is Renewiderm Ageless Moisturizer? It is a revolutionary anti-aging product which removes aging signs and gives you a radiant and flawless skin.It helps to reduce the problems of aging like dark spots, wrinkles, fine lines etc which generally start appearing due to reduced production of collagen protein which mainly constitutes the face skin tissues.Collagen provides the elasticity and the suppleness to the skin.Most of the people face the issues of aging signs in their early 30s as the…
nontoxic metabolites by the phase II conjugation of glucuronide and sulfate and a small amount of paracetamol is oxidized by the Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in the phase I metabolism. In this phase, CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 enzymes convert paracetamol to N-acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine (NAPBQI) which is highly toxic substances. NAPBQI will rapidly enter the phase II conjugation of glucuronide and detoxified in the liver…
