Adenosine

The supplementation has now also become popular among recreational weight lifters (1,4). When performing short duration high intensity exercise, the majority of energy comes from the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - phosphocreatine (PCr) system. PCr helps to increase the rate of rephosphorylation of ADP to ATP through the use of the creatine kinase reaction (1,2,3,4,5). As the exercise proceeds and the PCr stores are depleted, the performance…

B) Compare & contrast: Plant & Animal cells. Although plant and animal cells contain numerous similarities, they also feature prevalent significant differences. Animal and plant cells not only have functional differences but also have structural differences. Plant and animal cells both have a nucleus which is the control centre of the cell, it controls how the cell develops and how it reproduces. DNA is the genetic makeup of a cell, organ and body systems, the DNA in a cell is held and…

Critically discuss the emerging role of the gut microbiota in metabolic health Summary: The connection between gut microbiota, obesity-related disorders and inflammation have been increasingly recognized and understanding the composition of gut microbiota may play a potential role in preventing and/or treating metabolic health. Both in animal and human studies had recognized an alteration of microbiota composition leading to the development of obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. With new…

TOPIC: ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF FUNGI Before we discuss the economic importance of fungi let us have a brief study about what fungi really are. Fungi are multicellular, eukaryotic, non-chlorophyllous, living organisms which feed heterotrophically by absorption and have a cell wall made up of fungal cellulose and have a body made up of hyphae called mycelium. In this universe each and everything has its own economic advantages and disadvantages. Let us first study the advantages of fungi…

The popularity of energy drinks among teenagers and young adults has been increasing in the past decade with the emergence of the energy drink “Red Bull” back in the late nineties. There are now over 300 variants of energy drinks offered in the US and some of them are available everywhere: corner store, grocery store, restaurants, bars and even vending machines. The top four energy drinks company, Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar and NOS are often misleadingly advertised in sports, popular youth…

The pH of something can be determined by using the specific pH scale. The scale is based off of numbers ranging from 0 to 14. The lower the number is the more acidic something will be and the higher the number is the more basic something will be. It is important to note that 7 act as the neutral number, where neither it is considered acidic of basic (5). It is found that rain water that is unpolluted is coincides with carbon dioxide and has a pH of 5.6. Often, the pH around the world of…

Micro-fracture consolidation can be treated with bone remodeling, and the adaptation of skeleton is applied to “calcium homeostasis” and to mechanical use. The bone remodeling involves the bone resorption regarding to osteoclasts and bone formation relating to osteoblasts. Regular bone-related diseases including “bone-metastasized cancers”, Paget’s disease, multiple myeloma, and osteoporosis are caused by the disproportion between the resorption and formation processes. The increased…

Analyze the anatomical structure of ten different organelles in the cell and their respective functions. Chloroplast: Its main function is photosynthesis trapping energy from the sun and producing sugar from carbon dioxide. Its structure is made up of a double membrane system. They are known as the outer and inner membranes. The inner membrane surrounds the stroma and grana other words known as stacks of thylakoids (NCBI, 2016). Endoplasmic reticulum: Its main function is translation and…

Discussion EDTA entails the anticoagulant that is most appropriate in the differential analysis of white blood cells and entire blood cell counts. This is mainly because of the extent it preserves cells. Presently, the anticoagulant that the International Council for Standardization in Haematology recommends for full blood counts is the dipotassium salt of EDTA (England et al., 1993). This is the most commonly preferred anticoagulant across Europe and Japan although the UK and the US have been…

Water is essential in keeping the body in balance. There are two significant compartments of the body that exchange fluids and electrolytes to maintain homeostasis, which are intracellular and extracellular. These two spaces continually interchange electrolytes, particles, and water to sustain the same pressure. (PP chap42 pg935) This paper will describe three machinimas that assists in maintaining homeostasis, four main categories of IV therapy, and nursing consideration in relation to infusing…
