Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are organisms that have been changed around by mutating, inserting, and deleting genes with the use of genetic engineering techniques or biotechnology (Goldbas 20). The goals genetic engineers seek is to create plant resistance to weeds, insect pests, plant diseases, droughts, and floods (Lundquist 26). Grumet, Hancock, Maredia, and Weebadde explained how genetically engineered crops are developed using a combination of genetic engineering and conventional…

The Alcoholic Anonymous is a program targeted to help individuals on their road to recovery from alcoholism. Founded in 1935, the program has since then changed the stigmas associated with alcoholism and substance abuse, and has allowed individuals to join the meetings with dignity. This paper focuses on a first hand account of a nursing student’s experience at an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting. This paper also focuses on the effects of substance abuse on the mental health of people and the…

Question 4 Answer: Smoking damages the whole body, but for this answer, I am going to focus on smoking and the changes to our respiratory tract, skin blood vessels and antioxidant levels. Respiratory tract: “(1) Nicotine constricts terminal bronchioles, which decreases airflow into and out of the lungs. (2) Carbon monoxide in smoke binds to hemoglobin and reduces its oxygen-carrying capability. (3) Irritants in smoke cause increased mucus secretion by the mucosa of the bronchial tree and…

Silver nanoparticles have unique antimicrobial properties. They have a variety of applications: diagnostics, wound healing, pharmaceuticals, etc. These nanoparticles destroy bacterial cells walls and interrupt membrane integrity by their electrostatic attraction to the negatively charged bacterial cell walls [10]. Metal nanoparticles are usually synthesized by chemical techniques which is costly and highly toxic. Currently, there is a growing demand for alternative methods that would limit the…

•Background and aim Soil salinity is one of the major environmental obstacles that limit the crop productivity. A pot experiment was conducted with an aim to explore the ameliorative effects of exogenously applied sodium nitroprusside (SNP) concentration against salinity stress in Brassica napus (L.) cv. Pactole. Methods Plants were grown under greenhouse conditions in plastic pots and were exposed to ***** mM NaCl. Further, ***** days old plants were sprayed with sodium nitroprusside (SNP,…

The random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) method was used to examine the genetic variability of Aiolopus thalassinus (Fabr.) populations at heavy metal polluted and unpolluted locations of different geographical distances. Four primers yielded a total of 69 scorable bands, which are all polymorphic. Cluster and Principal component analysis separated the inside and outside Cairo populations into two main branches that were further separated into smaller ones,…

metabolism since it converts the drug from hydrophobic to more hydrophilic so it can be excreted easily this process helps to maintain the homeostasis in human’s body. Additionally recent studies indicate that this enzyme is highly contributed in the detoxification and protection of the organs or parts of the body that are exposed to carcinogens chemicals. For example, it has been found that this enzyme is highly active in smokers than the non-smokers in order to metabolize the chemicals in…
