Excretion

Contrary to the title, the discovery of astatine was anything but a momentary process. Many scientists discovered different astatine isotopes, atoms with the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons, but were unable to either reproduce their results or keep the isotope in existence for any useful amount of time. After decades of possible discovery and rediscovery, astatine was officially included in the periodic table of elements with the abbreviation At and an atomic number of…

will need to be a slight increase in the level of Aldosterone as the test progresses since the body must also maintain a proper osmolarity. The final hormone ANP, will likely decrease in the beginning of the test due to this hormone promoting the excretion of sodium and water through the collecting duct which is counter to the bodies need to restore hydration levels and maintain osmolarity of the plasma. As…

1. Introduction This illustrated report will be concentrating on the digestive system and the detail of digestion, including mechanical and chemical digestion, extracellular and intracellular digestion. It will highlight how enzymes work within the digestive system, which ones and where they are produced. It will show the importance of metabolism and its two categories anabolism and catabolism, there will also be an illustration of how nutrients are processed during anabolism and catabolism. It…

refers to one or both testicles not being in the normal location in the scrotum. The Irish terrier is one of the breeds considered at risk for cystinuria. 1, 2, 3, 6(551), 7 A defect in the proximal tubular transport system allows for the excessive excretion of cystine into the urine. Cystine precipitates in acid urine to form crystals and stones. The condition is believed to have a recessive mode of inheritance in Irish terriers. The disease can be managed by alkalizing the urine and…

The earth is reliant on various reproductive biochemical cycles, to maintain balanced and regulated conditions on earth and within the atmosphere (Name, date). These cycles include the carbon, nitrogen and hydrological cycles. These cycles among others, bring with them various geological, chemical, physical and biological processes (name, date). All these cycles are interconnected; matter within them is continually cycled between biotic and abiotic parts of the environment (name, date). Without…

The Sci-Fi story I will be writing about is going to be about space mission to a habitable extrasolar planet. It will be based centuries into the future when technology has improved to the point that our human race can visit planets light years away. Of course there are still effects of long-term space travel on the human body, but the technology and research will be more advanced during the time period of my story. The mission is going to consist of highly trained astronauts and the most…

Introduction As of last year, over 2.1 billion people worldwide were considered obese (Ostrow, 2014). Obesity is increasing at an alarming rate due to multiple factors. A common factor is stress and the internal and external influences that links stress to obesity. As there are other environmental and genetic aspects that can affect someone to become obese, there have been multiple studies done to provide information and prove that stress is indeed linked to obesity. Separately these issues…

Microorganisms are living organisms which can be seen only with the aid of microscope. They are widespread in nature and are beneficial to life, but some can cause serious harm. There are six major types of micro-organisms these are bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, algae, and viruses. This essay aims to analyse micro-organisms and disease. First the key features of the main categories of micro-organisms and the roles of commensals, and pathogens will be explained respectively. Then mode of…
