Aspergillus nidulans: One of the lesser known pathogen of the aspergilli group, A. nidulans is a model filamentous fungus widely used for studying eukaryotic cell biology (Galagan et al., 2005). A. nidulans possesses a phospholipid-hydrolyzing novel cPLA2 protein, PlaA, which shows maximum similarity to mammalian-type cPLA2 proteins (α, β, γ) (Hong et al., 2005). Like the three isoforms of human cPLA2 proteins, A. nidulans PlaA also consists of two separate catalytic domainsA and B, and…

Carbon is the backbone of life on Earth. All things are made of Carbon. It is a part of the ocean, air and even rocks. This carbon flows between each reservoir in an exchange called the Carbon Cycle. This cycle will be investigated to show an understanding of its functions and how human activity can severely impact this cycle. (insert hypothesis here). Human activity, with out proper regulation can lead to imbalance throughout the carbon cycle meaning the interference of a Global system much…

Global warming since then generally define as a gradually increasing in temperature, which results in changing global climate permanently. Earth 's climate has been negatively influenced by many direct and indirect ways. Humans can severely damage the quality of climate. Most people are not aware that actions contribute to the decay of the Earth through time. Much research has been focused on the effects of global warming, as a direct result of the elevation of carbon dioxide and other…

Background In 2014, the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) published a new set of practice guidelines for Hepatic Encephalopathy (Vistrup et al., 2014). These guidelines define Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) as “a brain dysfunction caused by liver insufficiency and/or portosystemic shunting, and manifests as a wide spectrum of neurological/psychiatric abnormalities ranging from subclinical alterations to coma”…

Vegetarianism is referred to as an act of refraining from meat consumption, especially red meat, seafood, poultry, as well as any other kind of flesh obtained from animals. While non-vegetarian defy, these beliefs are involved them with the unhealthy diet. Furthermore, people are what they eat –as they say; many American apparently eat chemically treated foods which are very unhealthy. But there are individuals who do not follow American norms and there have altered their diets. Vegetarianism…

Is it commonly assumed that fast food is bad for your health, addictive and causes obesity? Junk food is any food that has little or no nutritional value with the least bit of preparation otherwise known as empty calories. The fast food industry is always been in the news and has been targeted for serving below human standard food just to fill their pockets and make no alterations to their food recipes to make it much healthier for the individual. Bottom line is that Fast food is to blame for…

breaking down of a glucose molecule through the Glycolysis cycle. Although, cellular respiration includes both aerobic, with oxygen and anaerobic, without oxygen processes. According to Campbell’s Biology Cellular Respiration is, “[t]he catabolic pathways of aerobic and anaerobic respiration, which break down organic molecules and use an electron transport chain for the production of ATP” (Reece, et al., 2014, pp. G-6). Nevertheless, cellular respiration may vary between species. The majority…

intestines lining (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2014). Also heavy drinking of alcohol impairs the absorption of folate, leading to a deficiency (Anemia, n.d.). Another cause of folate deficiency anemia is pregnancy. Like iron deficiency anemia, the added metabolic needs of a growing fetus can cause anemia (Anemia, n.d.). Lastly, Ignatavicius and Workman discuss that there are certain medications that can cause folate absorption problems (2014). "Anticonvulsants and oral contraceptives can slow or…

Bioinformatic analyses of the transcriptomic data allowed a detailed exploration of molecular changes associated with the transition from the free-living to the parasitic stage and a prediction of the roles that key transcripts play in the metabolic pathways linked to parasitism. Overall, this study provides the first insight into the molecular biology of the important parasite L.…

Assignment 1 1. Comparison of your Family Generation in terms of a. Family Structure b. Marriage Patterns c. Gender Roles d. Employment and Career Situation Family Structure A traditional family structure has been considered a family support system involving two individuals providing care to their offspring. However it hasn’t always been like this in my family. From one to two generations ago, when a newborn came into to family, a lot would change for all the family members. At first, all…
