Anaerobic digestion

Aerobic & Anaerobic Training in soccer Jason Garcia Florida Atlantic University Professor Grace HSC2100: Health, Fitness for Life November 6, 2014 Abstract Utilizing the research of Stewart Flaherty (2013), Sarah R (2010) and Beth Mervyn, (1991), this paper reflects understanding of how aerobic and anaerobic training influences the maximum distance a soccer player is able to cover in a soccer game. Also identified, are the possible reasons why aerobic and…

Animals and humans have bacterial populations all over their body. However, the gastrointestinal microbiome is one of the most complex and dense populations studied (Todar, 2012). The mammalian gastrointestinal tract is comprised of about four million bacterial genes with more than 95% located in the large intestine (Galland, 2014). The gastrointestinal microbiota varies along the tract at longitudinal levels and horizontal levels due to particular bacteria attaching to the epithelium in the…

with lagomorphs such as rabbits and a variety of rodents who practice caecotrophy. Caecotrophy, also known as coprophagy, is the act of eating soft excretions, known as caecotrophs, directly from the anus for additional nutritional absorption and digestion of plant fibers (Halls, 2008). Although strange, and seemingly unhygienic, to humans, rabbit owners must allow the behavior of coprophagy because it promotes proper nutrition for companion rabbits. The phenomenon of coprophagy is performed at…

Digestion can be described as food being broken down into its most basic and simple components so that we can absorb the nutrients to give us energy and nutrition. Digestion occurs in what is known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract which consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), and other important organs such as salivary glands, the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Digestion first occurs with food entering the mouth. Food is usually comprised of…

produce tannin binding proteins (Clauss, Hummel, Völlm, Lorenz, & Hofmann, 2006). Although it is typically thought that tannins only affect non-ruminants, researchers have found that tannin content in feedstuffs can have a negative effect on ruminant digestion of protein (Min, Solaiman, Terrill, Ramsay, & Mueller-Harvey, 2015). Thus it is plausible that the okapi, producing high amounts of tannin binding proteins, would be able to have the same if not higher percent CP digestibility than the…

body’s systems such as the, digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory and circulatory, must work together to meet the demands placed upon the runner’s body. Firstly, the process of the digestive system can be broken down into four sections, ingestion, digestion, absorption and assimilation (Toole, Toole and Toole, 1999). Any food or drink which is ingested travels through the alimentary canal. It is aided by associated organ structures, where it undergoes mechanical and chemical means to achieve…

The Gastrointestinal System The gastrointestinal tract is a collection of organs that work together to enable the body to digest and absorb numerous substances. It is often described as a long muscular tube starting at the mouth, and ending at the anus. The esophagus, stomach, small intestine (consisting of the duodenum, jejunum, and the ileum), and the large intestine (consisting of the cecum, ascending, transverse, and descending colon, the sigmoid, rectum, and anus), all make up the…

Along with the different functions that follow while food is being digested into the body. Among the many things that the digestive system has to offer it also has it’s not so good perks like symptoms & disorders. I have chosen to research about how an infected appendix can affect anybody without a single warning. I will also discuss how it affected a very well-known solo artist and his ordeal behind his Appendicitis. The Digestive System is a long complex system that is made up of many…

Introduction The genetic autosomal recessive disorder known as Cystic Fibrosis (CF) effects on average 1 of 28 Caucasians. The average age for patients to be diagnosed with this genetic disorder is around 2 weeks and 2 years old, there are some cases where they are find out sooner and others when they are adults. CF affect the patient’s chloride channels which causes the mucus in their lungs to thicken and pool. It can also affect the pancreas by blocking it up and not allowing it to produce…

The experimental design for our project was to simulate the digestion of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Using a certain medication called pancreatin we tested its effects on how it was able to break down these macromolecules. pancreatin is a mixture of pancreatic enzymes that help to aid in digestion; the enzymes that are present in this mixture include amylase (breaks down carbohydrates), lipase(breaks down lipids), and protease (breaks down proteins). We had set up trials for these…
